Pierre Poilievre showing the same political reverse Midas touch as Kemi Badenoch Both are culture warriors spending too much time on X

🚨China has issued a direct warning to the United States in response to Trump’s threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun: “We have trade and energy agreements with Iran; we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

I agree.

HSBC CEO Georges Elhedery says highest oil price he’s seen in this crisis is $286 for a barrel that reached Sri Lanka

Important story by Max Colbert here: 🔴 GB News Hosts Reform UK and Conservative Politicians and Activists Posing as Ordinary Voters The individuals were presented as ordinary members of the public, without informing viewers of their political affiliations, a new Byline Times investigation reveals

This needs to be a film.

Imagine believing that he is mentally competent

big part of why the right insists everyone on the left is a paid agitator is because they themselves constantly put over paid agitators

Now 14 months in, Canada’s rejection of the U.S. is the most successful tourism boycott in memory.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

So it appears that the “Door Dash Grandma” is just another Republican scam Really, is anyone surprised? At all?

Should be part of his next test.

The American dream

it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth

I once accidentally posted an image of myself as Jesus Christ instead of a Red Cross doctor.

Pitch: Ted Lasso, but JD Vance is the new manager of Spurs, with six games to play.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Translation: you can't take it with you.

Spectator and spiked trying to effect a “Hungary? Oh yeh, vaguely aware of it. Home of goulash, right?” tone

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Zia Yusuf is up next to talk about the immigration message. Discussing the composition of immigrants to the UK, he says: "Britain went from immigration primarily from EU countries to vastly higher levels of immigration from primarily non-EU countries." I wonder why that might be.

It’s worth remembering that the Green party opposed the infrastructure needed to plug this wind farm into the National Grid.

🤡 The Brexit irony is extraordinary. Britain helped design a system to manage/control borders across Europe. Then we chose to leave, turning ourselves from insiders into third-country aliens. Now 🇬🇧 citizens are subject to very scrutiny Brexiters wanted to impose on others. Brexit lost control.

So Vance was fine with ending sanctions, continued funding for Hezbollah etc?

We go live to Christopher Hope and the rest of the GBNews crowd

Remembering that in “Threads” the end of the world is brought about by a conflict in the Persian Gulf is too on the nose on the day Trump begins a blockade of that waterway

OTD in 1990 Soviet Union admitted that Soviet Union carried out Katyn massacre. These are Soviet documents with Stalin personally approving the murder of 22,000 Poles. We blame(d) it on the Nazis. We lie(d). Imagine us committing atrocities today & blaming it on Nazis...

Kellogg seems blissfully unaware that there is a territorial limit to NATO that ends in Turkey

This 👇 Lets stop pretending it’s anything other than blatant racism .. Kirk was a shameful person!

UK’s best interests are being IN the EU

Wtf has happened to you, America

Farage reckons it’s because of one really giant Hungarian family voting

Matt Goodwin’s sitting on his own in a Scruton cafe crying like a little girl and you’re laughing?

I really want Kemi Badenoch to lead a Tory general election campaign. Seeing her deal with a country that is very different to her hermetically sealed X bubble would be TV Gold.

We need to re litigate it It’s the only way

It's failed Tories like Badenoch and Wallace who are taking the public for fools by pretending that the current state of UK Armed Forces today isn't mostly down to them. Wallace was actual Defence Secretary for years.

What traffic in the Strait of Hormuz looks like:

When the UK joins the EU - this will be the template: 🇬🇧 [?]: Our country wants to be free again. It wants to be a European country again. Crowd chants: "Americans go home"!

Does anyone think this is normal? Come on America, do something!!!

Has Orban said thank you?

We go live to Christopher Hope and the rest of the GBNews crowd

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain
