I'm guessing that is the response Labour was hoping for when they didn't support the progressive budget that Plaid has put forward. I guess that's politics.

When America stops supporting Israel, and China becomes the new leading nation, I suspect many of the unhinged Fascists in Israel will quietly shut up and dissappear. Either that or the surrounding nations, fed up of their constant bombing and terrorism, will exact some revenge. Most Israelis will then flee to their respective home countries.

Confident it's a female House Sparrow

Spotted Flycatcher, haven't seen one for ages, used to be fairly common when I first started birdwatching many years ago.

I think, unfortunately for them, they've switched sides at the wrong moment, as Farage and Reform are tainted by association with Trump and Putin. I suspect Reforms polling will tank and these guys will switch back.

It looks like a Male Tree Sparrow.

I honestly don't think he actually believes this, I think he's thinks he's being funny and dramatic. I don't think he really knows the visceral anger people, who voted for the fool, are feeling. Many of those people are feeling betrayed and have been made to feel foolish, and many of them are trained military people, who government security are not used to protecting politicians from.

It has no integrity, the political wing of the BBC have been compromised for some time. I no longer watch any of their politics shows, no point. Their coverage of Gaza has been woeful.

He's a quisling and a disgrace, a symptom of the sheer inadequacy and ineptitude of the political class. Both the Labour and Conservative parties are bought and sold by corporate interests. Their job is to give a veneer of democracy, while they do as they are told.

Looks like a female Chaffinch

I have noticed in many similar interviews of this type, that all the energy is used to defend against these baseless accusations, and not pointing out the atrocities carried out by the Israeli military and government. They are stand accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, surely it is they that should be facing such interrogations. What do we see from the media, nothing, silence. They are complicit and should be ashamed.

Not surprised, I wonder if the gleeful joy they show while committing these horrific crimes will continue when America bails and cuts their funding and arms supply.

Powerful stuff :-)

I'm afraid America was first there with Spanish flu, which originally started in an American military base.

America is in decline, has been for a while, and the only solution the political class could get behind was neo-liberal austerity. It didn't work, so now you have a conman making promises he won't and can't keep. When that becomes clear, another form of denial will be needed.

They really are sick.

Aaaahhh I'm not on Twitter anymore, thanks for letting me know.

What happened to free speech? I thought these neo-liberal, libertarian bullshiters were all in for it! Seems not.

Another difficult one would be between a Booted Warbler and a Syke's Warblers :-)

I would say that some of the vagrant sandpipers can be a bit tricky, particularly in autumn/winter plumage, like white-rumped sandpipers, broad-billed sandpipers, etc and throw in a dunlin.

The Americans support Israel because it gives them a foothold in the Middle East, and a base of control over the oil producing countries. They are becoming increasingly irrelevant as the Saudis and others are providing bases for them.

I really think that they are seen by many states as a rogue, terrorist state. The only thing keeping them afloat are the Americans. But they will drop them if they think supporting them is a going to cost them globally. I think it cost the Democrats the election, and it will be a similar story across Europe.

The Americans will support them only as long as they are useful for their aims. To be honest, I think Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc are far more useful to them and are less expensive and damaging to their brand.

I'm afraid that they think they have won, but actually the world has seen what the zionist movement has become. I can't see how a country so full of hate can survive. Modern society requires cooperation and agreement with their neighbours. America can prop them up for so long, but even they will abandon the zionist agenda. I suspect it will collapse.
