America could now relocate bases in Spain to a staunch European ally of its war in Iran, such as Imaginaryland.

I hope all those people who said the US had done no planning for war in Iran will now apologise. www.ft.com/content/744e...

oh, america, with your no kettles and your fascist leader

Local elections are of a completely different order to by-elections or general elections. Joshing that we could call them the ‘mid-terms’ plays into the hands of Reform councillors lisping ‘we’ll stop the boats’ and confuses further the already-challenged Farage fans. Just don’t! #bbcpm

Actually loving Darren Grimes being repeatedly handed his arse. Audience on his home turf have very little love for him. #bbcaq

Diddums. Ironymeter explodes.

All going well for Reform in Scotland.

Whenever a news story about something Trump is doing declares that it's "a first for a sitting president" or "a change from tradition," replace it with "yet another authoritarian move from the president," and see if it sounds more accurate.

If there’s a better commentator out there on US politics than Ed Luce I’d like to see it, here’s his column today www.ft.com/content/2656...

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

I also killed a buddleia by cheerily chopping it down to 5cm above soil level - misremembered doing this in previous years and was way too harsh with it. #r3breakfast

Thanks #r4TheWorldTonight - my cats are rushing around looking for the impostor.

This is Trump's America.

This love-in with Michael Gove is ewwwww #r4today

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

[Day 5] GOD: What do you think? ANGEL: You’re tired. Why don’t we try making the birds tomorrow.

Pretty chuffed with my 0.07% tbh.

It's bad when America says "we're here to help". It's catastrophic when Israel says "we're here to help". #r4today

@privateeyenews.bsky.social nailing it again.

Striking to hear the Prime Minister strongly attack the Conservative party's descent into anti-Muslim bigotry, at PMQs. This stuff has been allowed to fester for too long in our national politics. Requires political leaders to draw a line in the sand against it

Justin Webb’s ‘that’s really interesting’ is a euphemism for ‘ooh, sounds as if you might say something controversial on the record, let me guide you to this endpoint’. The disappointment when people respond to him thoughtfully must have him wondering why he’s travelled down the M4. #r4today

'Yes, I voted for him after a judge found that he was a rapist, but that was something that happened to someone else. Car More Spensive To Go Brum Brum is something happening to ME'

From a friend via WhatsApp:

To save myself time, I'm just going to assume #r4today will dedicate no time whatever to the most disturbing display of cognitive decline by a US President in history last night.

🟧 SCIENCE Après une année à essayer de comprendre la stratégie géopolitique de Donald Trump, une étude d'un groupe de géopolitologue suggère qu'il est juste complètement débile. "On a tout analysé 18 fois, c'est la seule hypothèse crédible"

Personally, my favorite allied-country expression of naval non-commitment is “intensively looking”. What’s yours?

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

Prime time for that Hugh Grant Love Actually moment…

“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems” V much summing up his approach to power. Grifting and gobshiting - yes please. Hard work and responsibility - god no. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anne McElvoy is such a stirrer. Nothing to offer. #r4today

It goes almost without saying that Hesgeth is morally depraved and intellectually inadequate. It's also increasingly clear that he is totally out of his depth and becoming rattled.

A short guide to fash speak: Legitimate concerns = bigotry Common sense = bigotry Our culture = bigotry Wokery= Decency Globalists = Jews Establishment elite = Anyone opposed to fascism Democracy = when Fash are winning Law= a rule for everyone else Free speech= hate speech

We are still short of people to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections, so if you are a racist, an ex-con, a horrible twat or even just a bit thick and gullible, we'd like to hear from you.

When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.

Inject this Jeremy Bowen piece straight into Kemi Badenoch’s veins. Nigel Farage so clearly frit it’s not worth him even rolling his sleeve up. #r4today

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

“AMITY, right now. Unbowed! We love it. We push on. 😎”

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.
