No. Because it's good to hear someone who is themselves very wealthy and could potentially benefit from the kind of policies being pursued by the Republicans under Trump, recognising the folly of the current administration. It's good to know that in the USA someone is also prepared to put the national interest before their own, just as those MPs did in the last Parliament here, even to the point of spending a large amount of his personal fortune in doing so. Whether you agree with him or not that is worthy of admiration.

You speak like a true brexiteer,well done.

I can assure you from direct current personal experience that is completely untrue. At 75 I am full of energy and determination. Whilst the precise length of my future is unclear it still matters a lot but the future of my loved ones matters even more. I think Mr Bloomberg, like me, feels the need to be active and affect things while he can. My own opinion is that people of our age are much more responsible in our comments than younger people as we have a wider experience to call upon and less need for confirmation from others. Dementia sufferers excluded of course. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

We are too small to face the future alone and end up being squeezed between a dominant China, the rest of Asia, a declining USA, a resurgent Russia and the EU. Our place is within the EU.

I see Rebecca Long Baily has taken onboard the results of the last GE, NOT. Ms Long-Bailey declares: "Our task is to build a winning vision of a socialist future, and this task has never been more urgent. "Many candidates in the leadership election say they will not return to the triangulation and Tory-lite policies that held our party back before Jeremy. But we need a leader that can be trusted with our socialist agenda. Wow so before Corbyn Labour was unelectable who'd have thought that and then Jeremy came along and put all to rights okay so he lost 2 elections but whose counting. One more point
