I'd imagine most of the deal was agreed before Labour came to power. Labour have been too busy freezing pensioners, hindering employers hiring people, locking up FaceBook posters and dishing out free hotel stays and iPhones to immigrants to have wrapped this up so quickly.

Great news. Yet another benefit of Brexit. 😊

It seems like you have a real issue with wealthy, successful men. How about some empathy for someone clearly struggling with his mental health? #bekind

Yes, and now the government are offering 5 years guaranteed rent to Landlords to rent to immigrants. https://www.gbnews.com/politics/keir-starmer-migrants-rent-homes-summer-channel-crossing-surge Meaning even fewer houses avauilable to rent to indigenous Brits. Shameful.

Are you saying Labour are now making their policies according to what Reform want?

90's was good as well. Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, American Beauty, The Matrix, Lock Stock, Reservoir Dogs. What have we got now? Snow White and MineCraft. It's pathetic. Best thing I've seen re. Hollywood in the last few years was Ricky Gervais hosting The Golden Globes.

Yeah that was classic. Moaning about having to pay for a bit of food while living rent free in the White House. 😃 It's never enough for these people. You could give them a million cash and they'd complain about the colour of the briefcase. Poor Barack. Must have really been through it. No wonder he's aged. I'm sure Jennifer is a good listener though.

I take it you haven't seen her podcast then? 😆

My Sister in Law had her flight cancelled/postponed because of this. It's causing a lot of issues.

Makes you wonder how a charismatic guy like Barack ended up with her. Talk about marrying down. She must be a good listener. I mean, 'dem ears... 😆

Especially a hastily agreed coalition by parties who cannot agree on anything. https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-next-government-coalition-disagree-cdu-spd-friedrich-merz/ A coalition formed purely to keep the Afd out of power. You reap what you sow. Get the popcorn ready.

You really should get that projection looked at Jag, looks like it's turning septic. 😆

Of course they will leave. Why wouldn't they? And they will take their vast wealth and spending habits with them. I wouldn't really call it a gamble by Rachel from accounts. It's more like remortaging your house and putting 100% of the proceeds on Eddie The Eagle making a comeback and winning Gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics. I'd call it insanity. Economic illiteracy. Financial suicide. Rachel's only skill appears to be faking her own CV.

Why bring race into the discussion? Obsessed much? 😆

Her race and sex is irrelevant to the points I was making, so why mention it? Clearly. Maybe you should just let your obsession with identity politics go? Your demand for racism/sexism appears to be outstripping the supply. 😆

Finally some good news for China. They better hope the talks go well. https://asiatimes.com/2025/05/chinas-economy-on-cusp-of-a-deflationary-death-spiral/

Don't mistake contempt with anger. 😆

It's a shame what he's become. Quite a talented musician, wrote some good songs a couple of decades ago.

Always moaning. Always angry about something. While she remained quiet I'd always assumed she was quite intelligent but from the clips I've seen of the drivel on her podcast, it makes her look like a spoiled, entitled airhead. I saw her moaning about people always being on their mobile phones. Fascinating stuff, brilliant, so insightful, never heard someone make that observation before . But why did it annoy her, you might ask? Because it means they don't even recognize her when she's out shopping around the commoners. 😆 Her and Harry must be the most miserable multi-millionaires in the world. No wonder Barack is having it off with Rachel from Friends (allegedly).

So why reward these corrupt, callous governments with billions of pounds from UK taxpayers? I doubt they want to end up like you Chomps. 😃

He's not pushing them away. Quite the contrary, he's encouraging them to make their movies in the US.

I dare say they will. Being an ex prison guard in jail for killing an inmate is not going to be an easy sentence. If they do "get it", they will have no sympathy from me. It was a terrible incident, but let's hope they don't start putting up statues and lionizing Brooks like they did with George Floyd. Brooks himself was a violent offender in jail for stabbing the mother of his child. That's not to say he deserved it BTW, before anyone starts with the strawman attacks.

If things get too bad, just remember - it could be much worse.

Worrying times indeed for China. https://asiatimes.com/2025/05/chinas-economy-on-cusp-of-a-deflationary-death-spiral/# Trump's tariffs have come at a terrible time for our Chinese friends and partners.

Oh what a tangled web we weave. The machinations to keep the AFD out of power are coming at a high price to Germany, and ultimately the EU.
