National Conservatism isn’t the same as our Conservative Party. But I’m now beginning to see why Braverman is so anti the LGBT community. Truss is giving speeches in America I believe.
Well, the Tories are out!
And Truss lost her seat too.

Donald Trump's new running mate JD Vance says the UK may now be “the first truly Islamist country to get a nuclear weapon... since Labour took over"If you thought Trump was bad .........
It seems he said that at a National Conservatism meeting; isn’t that the organisation that Truss and Braverman are members of?
I think that try as they might, the US will not be able to evade international responsibilities because of trade ties and reliance on China.
I’m scared that, with Trump as president China will invade South Korea.
I think that a possible Trump win makes it pretty essential that there is a high degree of European cooperation.
Thursday, at Blenheim will hopefully continue that process, which has already begun but which I think needs a greater sense of urgency.
We know that Orban has invited Trump to meet Putin in November.
It doesn’t look good.
There has been criticism from both sides of UK political spectrum
Andrew Bowie, the new shadow veterans minister, has also been on an interview round this morning and he told Times Radio that the US senator was being offensive.
That quote on JD is all oalso o Vance:
"He is a fierce critic of Washington’s support for Ukraine against the Russian invasion and his appointment is likely to be met with apprehension in Brussels. Vance played an important role in a failed attempt to block a bill for more Ukrainian aid this year in the Senate."

Oh dear, thanks WWM2 I’d missed this horror.
One of the many problems with Trump supporters is they often don’t have passports, they haven’t travelled outside the USA .
Joe Biden would come across better if you could tell what he is saying.
His accent and his slurred way of speaking makes him sound worse than he is.
(I digress from talking about Trump, apologies).

More incendiary rhetoric. Just what the west needs now, eh?
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” he wrote to a friend in February 2016"
... his prior opinion of Trump.
He's certainly changed his mind.
(Vance quote taken from the website "POLITICO" - digital newspaper company)
I think when Trump fist pumped after nearly being killed he won the election. Only time will tell of course.
Biden is doing himself no favours, as he walks with his wife by his side his actions and demeanour show he's not functioning right, he opens his mouth and put his foot in it.
How can these two be the best America has to offer, its scary. I always thought we had more in common with Americans but seeing them interviewed now I don’t. They have the candidates they want.
they want.

I'm an American and a Democrat. I'm sick over horrible tRump possibly being president again.

Looking from the outside the prospect of Trump as President is alarming because we all know he won’t be good for any country outside the US. From the inside, I think it would be entirely different because he puts America first in his own ‘patriotic’ way. He appeals to the America as a Pioneer, the good ole boys, stubborn and, in their eyes, right and uncompromising. Very hard to fight against if you live in one of the southern states, so probably you might as well join ‘em.
He never “puts America first in his own way” or in any other way…Trump is out for Trump and Trump only. He sees success in terms of Power and money…he wants more of both, but perhaps the main reason he is running is to fill the government and Justice Dept with his cronies and dismiss all the criminal charges against him…cos he knows he’s guilty of them all… not a chance he doesn’t know that!

She has now set a dangerous precedent, orchestrated by the man behind the scenes.

When the case was allocated to her, she was urged not to take it by two more experienced judges but she refused and has used delaying tactics since. Now this.
Yes.
Our justice system is not corrupt, thank goodness. Judges are not appointed here, by politicians. KC are not appointed by politicians.
The judiciary system is becoming ever more corrupt, if you research and read more behind the scenes on this case. Was pretty shocked.
We have out grumbles here but....

Trump received some good legal news today as a judge in Florida has thrown out the classified documents case against him.
And what a terrible injustice from that unqualified joke of a judge!
Even if this is challenged it end up back with another trump "supporter".
What a mess!
Exactly…Cannon is corrupt to the core!

Have you seen the photo of him fist pumping with the flag behind and security wrestling him out of the stadium?
Looks just like the iconic photo of soldiers raising the flag in Iwo Jima, Ww2.
This has defined the election, it is his to win.
Let’s pray NOT win…boy does he know how to milk his audience. The same night he sent out cries for more monetary support!
I don’t wish him dead but I do wish all those Maga peoples would realise what an immoral , lying, cheating grifter he is …he’s not for the American people, he’s out for HIMSELF ONLY,
Biden might be old, but his grasp of government/policy / and what’s moral is amazing. Trump calls for retribution and violence…and his wish was granted…just not quite in the way he wanted!
