Brent crude edges back over $100/bbl as the market realises belatedly that Trump has pulled yet another Grand Old Duke of York act, promising an Iran agreement and delivering nothing.

How many times a year is an annual physical? Asking for a friend.

Trump and Netanyahu are the ultimate bad faith negotiators. Why would anyone have any confidence in any “deal” struck with either of them?

Orwell’s “War is peace” has never been truer.

Sign the Abraham Accords and then have Israel bomb you - just like it did to Qatar.

Left- German journalist who was traveling on the Freedom Flotilla: "We were transferred from one prison to another; they stripped me naked, and I was raped by Zionist soldiers". Right- Israeli rabbi, Ronen Shalov: Every child in Gaza should starve to death. We should kill them all without pity.

Nice to see this story dominating the media headlines, lead story on Sky News and BBC. Except of course, it isn't, because that would upset Israel.

Brent at $110/bbl this morning as the orange buffoon remains clueless while stocks dwindle and the markets continue in their irrational belief that it will somehow get sorted by a demented old man.

I’m waiting for Andy to be not so sure anymore about PR, then his transition into Starmer will be complete.

Andy Burnham is back on the fence over rejoining the EU. Proving yet again that he is Starmer with a Northern accent.

Seems like Taiwan is now living on borrowed time.

What Trump learned in China was that Chinese emperors knew more about bling than his tiny brain could have ever imagined.

He needs 81 MPs signatures first, and that seemed to be a problem for him news.sky.com/story/starme...

Somehow I don’t mind paying £10/gal for diesel knowing that the reason I am doing it is because Iran has got Trump by the balls and is squeezing down hard.

Starmer ducking, weaving and clinging on does nothing to address his shortcomings, but rather highlights them.

If push comes to shove any Labour leader will do for me who doesn’t have Starmer’s Brexit red lines.

Thoughts from a Labour MP: “We have to face up to the fact every single one of them is fucking useless. Andy’s strategy has been a disaster. Angela has bottled it. Ed clearly a hiding to nothing. Wes is AWOL. God knows what Catherine West is doing. I am not quite sure how we ended up here.”

Starmer combines the weakness and ineffectiveness of Sergeant Wilson with the incompetence and pigheadedness of Captain Mainwaring.

"Russian forces continue to suffer increasing casualty rates." Ukraine ordered that 30% of all FPV drone strikes on the frontlines must be against Russian soldiers. This order is having its effect in increasing Russian casualties. Which now exceed Russian recruitments.

I’m not sure why Catherine West as PM is any more ludicrous than useless, pigheaded Starmer soldiering on when everyone from the Downing Street cat onwards wants him out.

Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Starmer departing is only part of the problem, the rest of the cabinet is stuffed full of underperformers. Nandy, Lammy, Streeting and Kendall would be high on my target list. A new leader who shuffles the pack just perpetuates the problems.

Dear Keir Starmer, Please go away and never be heard from again. Thank you, The electorate
