Not a huge surprise. As soon as Burnham won his electorate it was a foregone conclusion.

Just announced on the news - Starmer has announced he is stepping down and planning the handover.

I saw a woman protesting something Dubya had done, holding a sign saying "Bush is another word for 'c**t' ". Wonder what that makes the meaning of "Trump"?

It gets hot there often. It's common to take a break in the heat of the day then come back later to work and eat about 2200. Nev

They have an economy Managed by the State which exists in a free trade World.. (in theory) which cannot cope with China's success and efficiency. No Place in history has been transformed so completely to lift wealth and facilities and with a large Population as well. It would still be Likely the way the West has treated them has NOT been forgotten and why would it? Nev

With temperatures like that I bet there wasn't much civility in Seville.

I wonder how much the Chinese Government holds as investments in Taiwanese companies nad others worldwide. In the 21st Century, the Chinese are not teh zealous devotees of Maoist Communism. They like a little bit of this, and a little bit of that and are prepared to let time heal any wounds.

Bugger No Planes to watch. Did you go to a Tech College ? Nev

I bet the Barber kept the front door open and the fan on. Winds from the Sahara make a lot of Spain HOT . Nev

He's a loose Cannon that bloke. According to him we are at Armageddon. Like Ronnie Raygun's "WE are in the Last days". Religious fruit loops worry me the Most. Baby Bush said" God Speaks through My lips". Born again reformed Drug addict. with barely adequate brain cells to tell the time of day. Nev.

Longest for me... And this week is expected to shatter warmest day in June records in the UK. Apparently in Seville in Spain, it hit 48 yesterday or the day before

Except for Hegseth.

Good. The sooner he blows a fuse the better. A visibly insane Trump is probably the only thing that would get the politically lethargic US voters to kick him and the Republicans out. I don't think even the useless lackeys he's surrounded himself with would follow his orders if he told them to nuke Germany or something.

He won't handle that well ,and therein lies the bigger problem. How'd you like to be living in IRAN.? about 90 million people do. Nev

No, Hawker DeHavillands at Lidcombe.

48 thousand were conscripted, 15 thousand went Vietnam. I knew a bloke who wasn't conscripted, just joined voluntarily and then volunteered to go and fight there. Unfortunately, he was involved in a friendly fire incident where one guy was too far out in front and was mistaken for an enemy combatant ... my mate shot him, sadly. I guess it was hushed up, but I got it from the horses mouth when he was back here at home. For brave acts he performed at other times, one in particular, he received bravery medals from every Western nation involved there ... all but Australia, he went on to tell me. He was not just a little peeved about that.

Hawker-DeHav's at Bankstown? I taught at Liverpool HS and flew out of Bankstown and pitted race cars at Warwick farm and have had electroless Nickel Plating done at DeHavillands. We may have Passed like Ships in the Night .Nev

Just as well. I was already crazy enough with anger from being unable to work in my trade, they wouldn't let me. I went from being a fitter & turner working in a large Engineering factory (Hawker DeHavilland), to being a lowly driver in the idiot Army, as it was then. My trade meant everything to me.

Am I posting in invisible INK? Nev

I think Meloni (who is not a particularly nice person herself) has made the political calculation that in most of the world, including Italy, it's more palatable with the voters to stand up to Trump rather than lick his arse. This is good, because if even right wing politicians realise this, then centrists and left leaning ones should definitely realise it. I think the clown is going to find out that he's not going to get a lot of respect or time from other world leaders any more.

Sorry, I missed putting a Question Mark there. I'd say a lot didn't want to go but some volunteered. Someone more Knowledgeable may have some figures on that. Returnees were treated abominably, Even by the RS League. That was disgusting and shameful. Nev

I wouldn't like to see him "Out of clothes".. He doesn't have a BODY Like a Greek God. The King has No Clothes, (But no one is game to tell him), Aptly describes the situation we have Now with Trump. Nev

He’s out of clothes too except for his MAGA cap which is also looking a bit worse for wear.

It's "Clothes" but no one will tell him, because you can't TELL HIM anything.. Nev

Anyone who was motivated enough could have done it. (Made those special chips.) Taiwan is that sort of Place. IF the shares are Publicly Listed, anyone can buy them. IN China , the gov't MUST own a Majority of a company's shares. Nev
