Trump expects Britain (and other European countries) to blindly follow each of his rash decisions. But Starmer is right not to do so when: - the UK was not consulted beforehand - the professed aims constantly change - there is no exit strategy - it breaks international law

The inconvenient TRUTH about social media. History happens to catch up with you in the end #TrumpTheWarCriminal and your ILLEGAL #TrumpsEpsteinWar.

Hegseth: "We are only four days into this and the results have been incredible." - Middle East engulfed in regional war - 11 countries attacked by Iran - Oil & gas prices skyrocketing - Strait of Hormuz now a conflict zone - Terrorism threat raised across the world - No sign of Iran regime collapse

Trump's unruly mobs are hounding legal Ukrainian migrants in the U.S., the BBC reports. Here's a translation of the story by BBC Ukraine, on the growing problem facing those who fled to the "land of the free."

The Covid good news continues for another week, with risk levels remaining Moderately High and 1 in every 495 people in England infected. Other respiratory viruses, such as influenza flu & RSV remain above baseline but continue to decline. buds.org.uk/covid-19-ris...

I suspect @raskin.house.gov will enter the history books as one of the few heroes of America's Trump era.

The UK-EU relationship reset must progress at pace.🇪🇺🇬🇧 @pimlicat.bsky.social: “The UK-EU relationship under this government has shown welcome improvement - from what was a depressingly low bar - but it’s essential that it progresses at pace." www.bestforbritain.org/uk_eu_progre...

🇪🇺MEPs from across the political divide have called for the proclaimed EU–UK “reset” to be “decisively accelerated”. The UK must go further and faster in our reset with the EU.

"One should not give a poisoner medicine, A conjurer fine apparatus, nor A rifle to a melancholic bore." WH Auden Not to mention the biggest arsenal in the world to a narcissistic attention-seeker.

The geography of the continent has not changed since 2016 - Europe still remains our closest and largest trading partner, and our policies should reflect that. There's no need to look across the globe for trade deals when the largest free market in the world is at our doorstep.

I must apologise for Richard Stupid Tice not understanding that no gas or oil is ‘our own’ because Maggie Thatcher sold it off, so it is all sold by private companies on the global market. Norway did not sell theirs off and now have a sovereign wealth fund of £1.6trillion.

Good morning, and may I say thank you to everyone who is reading, still following, and still caring about Ukraine. Gove yourself a little pat on the back, but then carry on spreading the word! It's Day 1470 of Russia's 3-day special operation. #TeamTim reporting for duty!

GB News loses £22m, taking their total losses to over £130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.

GB News are now bringing Restore Britain on to the channel to tell their own black British presenter, born in Newcastle, she is not British - and it is "ridiculous" to define being British in a way that includes black people.

“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”. Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US... But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

While backing a war only around a quarter of British people support

Britain's 'patriotic' press cheering on the latest attacks on us by a hostile foreign leader

🚨 Rachel Reeves rightly points out the damage Brexit has done to our economy: "Brexit cut us off from our closest trading partners."

"Today’s OBR projections reveal two competing realities in government right now. The OBR and Treasury forecast an upturn in net migration, which makes their fiscal numbers add up – while the Home Office says it is determined to drive net migration down still further. They can’t have it both ways".

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

Day 1469 is upon us. Ukraine still has to fight for its survival. This is another daily thread. As war in the middle-east gathers momentum, so does Russia's optimism that Trump will become ever more desperate to force Ukraine into a bad deal. Here's the round-up:

If Isabel Oakeshott is thinking about fleeing Dubai, I hope she stops in the first safe country.

Has there ever been a flimsier basis for a headline?

I only occasionally find myself reading Trump's words but it is still surprising to me, even now, that the world is ruled by someone with the mental age of a five year old.

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand (Saul Loeb/Getty)

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet. This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

Rachel Reeves needs to be careful who she is seen with. She ought to take a leaf out of my book and hang around with someone charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm then describe him as "an important voice for young men".

Gas prices up by around 50% today. A painful reminder that relying on imported fossil fuels is a risky strategy.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

Full Farage

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

The UK has arrested high-profile figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Will the US?

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Hello and welcome to another daily thread covering all the important events in Ukraine and Russia. It's Day 1468 of the war started by Putin. But #EATP (everything according to plan) for the bunker midget, who's now 1465 days behind schedule in taking Kyiv.

Pete Hegseth just made it clear that in this war Trump regime does NOT care about International law or even our own rules of engagement that are designed to save lives of civilians. This video will be played at the International Criminal Court as part of the prosecution of Hegseth for war crimes.

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so. The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found bylinetimes.com/2026/03/02/n...

We know why, of course. But sometimes stating the obvious is important.

❌ Brexit has damaged the UK's car industry, driving down investment and crippling our competitiveness on the world stage. 🚗 The EU takes over half of our car exports, we must lower trade barriers. https://www.economist.com/britain/2026/03/01/outside-the-eu-britains-car-industry-is-struggling

Ooof.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.
