It's now time to ask our government one simple question. What, exactly, will #Trump have to say or do for the King's USA visit to be cancelled? The Prime Minister has, so far, treated this lunatic with tact and diplomacy. It must be time to stop... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

That Friday feeling.. 🤣 Happy dog.

Ffs

He knows nothing of Japanese culture and etiquette 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is beyond embarrassing for the US.

Anyway. I might repot this year's petunia today. Nature is always good when everything else is shit.

These war mongers playing out their fantasies against each other are ruining the world. And for what? Small men who know only how to destroy, never to build or create something good and decent. I hate them and I don't use that word lightly. F*** them, the patriarchy and their billionaire funders.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Iranian state-affiliated media is trolling Trump again.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social US progressive independent media like Meidas Touch and David Pakman call out his insanity and derangement all the time, with receipts, and aren't afraid of doing so, despite threats from MAGA. Only the mainstream media normalises his crap.

Recap: Hour 1: We hit them like they’ve never been hit before. Day 1: We already won this war. It was easy. Yay us. Day 5: We don’t need any help. Don’t bother showing up after the war is over. Losers. Day 13: Why isn’t the world helping us? There will be be consequences.

No, they have not always been there for NATO

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

Those who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.

👏👏👏

Et vous, BBC?

Anyone else having fuel shortages problems at the pumps, or is it a localised issue to us?

Isn't Beat the Chasers much more exciting and fun than The Chase?

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills. Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos. But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out. Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls. The weasel has no power.

"Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth. None of them through the Strait of Hormuz." —Bill McKibben

Good. But how humiliating for Farage.

These people must never gain power here.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Just when there were signs the UK economy was turning a corner, Trump does something else to absolutely fuck it. And then he has the gall to question whether we're a good ally.

#Farage goes to America, Trump renews attacks on UK prime minister. UK MP travels to foreign state, foreign state then launches media attack on UK. Alexa, what is the definition of traitor?

The protest at Greenham Common influenced a whole generation of women. It taught us about collective action, imaginative non-violent ways of protesting and gave us the confidence to use our own unique voice. | Meg Gain

The only way Chelsea was going to win this was through VAR. How to ruin football...

So, anyway, the World Cup. Starts in less than 100 days. The principal host nation has started a war and is committing war crimes. And the silence from FIFA is deafening. This is not normal. Any nation going to find the balls to pull out?

So, of the two finalists on Tipping Point today one has no idea who Volodimir Zelenskyy is and the other thought Yugoslavia was a member of the UN. Jesus wept!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social because he's trashed a deal signed by Obama!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Did he give an update on the cushions?

Polling holds too much sway over our democracy and governance. But the G&D by-election does show that Reform’s dominance is inflated by foreign/rightwing interests, irresponsible media support and Farage’s ego. If progressives can win despite all that, then hatred really is overpriced. Hope can win.

Another classic from ex-pat Dubai resident Isabel Oakeshott. Basically: "Loving the spirit of feudalism and fear in Dubai where the servant class have to dodge incoming missiles to come and satisfy our every need. Why can't modern Britain be the same?"

#justsaying but the sun is shining and two squirrels are mating in our garden. Lillie, our cat, is watching from the back door and trying to decide if she can take both of them on... #squirrelporn #springishere

She's an immigrant. Stop using ex-pat.

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

No! 😭

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

My daughter is worried about her friend in Dubai. She's been in touch and says she's scared. FFS America, sort out your madman president.

Oh.

Ooh fun...

Joyful to see Goodwin and Farage having a huge wettie and rightwing media scrabbling around for credibility in the rubble of their cocky predictions and polling. You don’t have this in the bag.We voted for change in 2024. That never meant hate-fuelled populism. It meant hope. You don’t give us that.
