As President Trump said, this is not our fight and we should stay out of it.
Aside from that, opinions like the below make me nervous. The last time this guy was celebrating events in Syria we saw the mass slaughter of Christians and a refugee crisis that destabilized Europe.
Many of "the rebels" are a literal offshoot of ISIS. One can hope they've moderated. Time will tell.
So far it seems to me that of the sites I have access to that the 'Times' is covering it best.
In any case Reform is now eating into the Labour white working class now, the Tory vote is as it was in July still or slightly up.
The Tory voters still voting Tory are more middle class and soft Leave rather than hard Leave and less likely to gaze in lust at Farage
Lebanon must also take in refugees from Assad's Alawite community if the rebels start persecuting and slaughtering them
(*) And if you actually followed this, you would realise many alawites were *against* Assad...
In fact, you're worse than clueless.
Surely some TV channel would happily pick us all up - establish all of us with lifetime memberships of some new, but extravagant club building in the West End - call it the Old Drones - bar, railway timetable room, another bar, overnight rooms, cricket room, overnight designated carpet areas, and emergency bar. All umbrella stands to have drains.

I think birthright citizenship is one of those things people assume is the case here, but I'm not sure it is? Or at least it is more complicated.

That is ~5% of the Syrian population that has ended up fleeing to Germany during the war.
I'm surprised Trump can end birthright citizenship without amending the constitution. I presume "anchor babies" are the reason.

Long gaps between things, with many great political examples for election nerds
Bashar al-Asad has done many evil things, but he’s weak rather than wicked. His family members, Iran and especially Russia told him what to do, and he feebly did it. In person, I found him meek and anxious to please — the reverse of the traditional dictator.

Joking aside surely the LDs have some plan to do something or other?
Most pensioners are on both more than state pension and not paying either rent or mortgage.
Almost every parent of an infant is paying either rent or a mortgage and most are not on high incomes.
If you want to support the needy universally then infants are more needy than pensioners, universally. If you want it to be means tested, then support means testing. Supporting universality to the less needy is just preposterous.
You referenced LA before, its population is not less than a million, it is over 18 million in Greater LA. Far more than Greater London.
Urban sprawl is a great thing that allows plenty of people to have a house of their own.
London should be sprawling out and getting bigger giving more people a house of their own.
Under Labour’s plans 5 in 7 of their new homes will go to migrants.
This ‘Government of service’ serves everyone, but hardworking Brits.
Reform go further and further to the Rabid Right and the more Badenochs Tories and her disgraced Right flank and Reform tear strips off each other trying to be worker than woke and more anti anti establishment.
Keir meanwhile gets his head down and grafts grafts grafts boringly but relentless steady slow improvement.
Turning the NHS around, increasing House Building, reducing net migration, clearing the Tory Asylum backlogs.
Interest rates slip quietly down, mortgage base rate slips in the 3.somethings, god forbid a few tax reductions in the form of slowly increasing tax thresholds, wealth and windfall taxes on the greedy for the needy.
The massive UK tanker, slowly turned around.
By 2028 what is the solution, rabid Right or steady solid dependable Left...

People are lying or fooling themselves if they think the public will become magically supportive of homebuilding.
And in case you hadn't noticed, people object to housing on brownfield land all the time as well. That's yet another reason it makes no sense when people just go 'brownfield first' as if that will solve everything ('first' also implies you might need to go elsewhere, which peopel do not want).
But I agree that right now they are going Reform.
(We would, but that's another story.)
The catch is more that there was a bloke called Jenrick who was immigration minister when the door really fell off its hinges. Whatever became of him?
"Now that Assad has fled, continued unity among the groups that toppled him will be a challenge," he says.
Got it in one
That's the kind of silliness that has people moaning about concreting over the Greenbelt even if said green belt land is of limited use or attractiveness.
State pension is £9k a year, large numbers of state pensioners renting privately or in council homes while even minimum wage is £20k a year now full time and WFA been cut even for pensioner incomes thousands less than that
Is total peace about to break out? Sounds unlikely given the past 50 years. With limited international influence over the entirety of rebel groups (Turkey apparently does with some in the north), the ability of externals to help maintain a peace is also presumably itself limited.
But at least for a time there is some hope, which is more than they had 3 weeks ago.
As an aside, Israel is also taking territory along the border.

British people find it difficult to understand that Putin does have the support of the Russian people, and he genuinely does. But it's not expressed via the democratic process, and he may fall if he cannot maintain his side of the deal.
It’s a mish mash. The urban sprawl IS ugly and endless and we don’t want that in the UK
“Have YOU seen the mysterious #drones in the night sky over #NewJersey?
EXCLUSIVE @News12NJ video from the @OceanCounty911 shows their first captured encounter with what they believe to be one of those drones.”

It’s not “one kid with a toy” and then a load of contagion. My best guess is still Russia or China
Wasn’t enough. And starmer won’t have any of these
Starmer at least should be spared that.
There's essentially no chance the Constitution gets changed because not only does it require 67% in Congress, but it also requires ratification by 75% of states.
As you say, this is more about Trump wanting to pick a fight, than expecting to change something.
The genius of western democracy is that it created a 'strong man' theory and system where the ruling state itself could be challenged by a peaceful process called voting - as we saw on 4th July in the UK.
I am also sure at least half the leadership of the new government the rebels set up in Syria will be women to ensure full equality and diversity

It kinda discourages people from sticking their neck out, unless they are really, really unhappy.
