Trump, like Putin, attributes to himself a power and reach he does not have. And of course, he has no knowledge, or power to imagine, the consequences.

One sided reporting from the BBC again... "The ability of Iran still to be able to inflict this kind of damage inside Israel is a reminder of the human cost of the war."

The USA is the world's leading oil and gas producer and has, Reform and the Conservatives would argue, "Energy Security". But as oil prices are set by international markets, gasoline prices rise inside and outside the USA.

Trump threatens a country by social media post... A country that has blocked the internet.

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

I need to know which school this is. Laura Bates' work should be required reading in schools. Like Angela Saini she unpicks Western misogynism in a structured and emphatic way.

Barack Obama pays tribute to Robert Mueller, calling him one of the finest FBI directors in history and honoring his unwavering commitment to the rule of law

Love does not rejoice at an enemy's downfall. St Paul to the Corinthians. Something we should keep in mind for future events.

Trump: "we are considering winding the war with Iran, as we are close to meeting our objectives" Also US (NB: before the illegal attacks, Iranian oil was sanctioned):

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Google search is basically wikipedia without the donation. And wikipedia is totally the creation of the collective knowledge and curation of millions. So google's billions are rightfully ours. Stolen from us.

We do.

Just in case you need some good news today: researchers at U of W have figured out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (primary ingredient in vinegar) using the sun. This has the potential to really help us reduce plastic waste. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/w...

Seems Trump doesn't have the Art of the Deal any more.

"Studies show generation brought up on wing collars, tank tops and Showaddywaddy least likely to care about high culture, shock."

Google maps shows a new bay on the Twickenham side which is actually a fountain in a park. And. Unconnected to the river.

Good of the journalist to note that the USA did not tell Japan about the A bomb. BBC News - Trump's Pearl Harbor remark overshadows Japan PM visit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every year, Trafalgar Square:- - Hosts Diwali - Has Hanukkah menorahs - Has the traditional Christmas tree from Norway Yet the moment a muslim prays, this is seen as an act of dominance? Celebrating that we have faith means we include islam, or we are nothing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"231 hours – or approximately 28 working days – were spent by Nigel Farage making custom videos for Cameo, a side hustle which has netted the Reform UK Leader £180,336.86 since he was elected as the MP for Clacton on Sea"

Backing up the version of events told by UK's Jonathan Powell, Oman too states that a deal with Iran was in reach. The question then, of course, is why Israel pushed the USA into war when Trump is all about The Art of The Deal. And was it Epstein Blackmail?

The generation of physicists in senior positions now graduated when student ratios were 9:1 male to female.

Faced with a choice between a pro-EU muslim and a pro-billionaire pay per flannel racist, I am 100%

The South Pars gas field is shared between Iran and Qatar and is under the Persian Gulf. Give Trump a new way to show he is an idiot and he will take it. He's mostly a rapist and crook tho.

Targetting Iranian hydrocarbon facilities restricts supply and enriches other petrostates, but the only major ones not vulnerable to retaliation are the US and Russia. And that makes us suspicious why this war is being fought.

This backlash is well overdue and has been bubbling for a little while. @praxisprojects.bsky.social mass lobby last week, we had such a high turnout of MPs. All agreeing as a baseline that this should not be applied retrospectively to migrants already here, and that MPs should have a proper say.

On the plus side, the horses were Full Self Drive.

Trump still adhering to the philosophy that diplomacy is no more difficult than having a toddler tantrum.

Dennis Skinner was suspended from parliament a record 7 times...

Europe's LNG imports have gone from 3% of gas supply in 1990 to nearly 50% today. We replaced Russian pipeline gas with US LNG at record speed. But we replaced one dependency with another. That's why Europe remains so exposed. The answer is transforming demand - not switching suppliers.

Please do this 12 hours before Iran attacks on US soil.

Trump does not have the loyalty of his own armed forces.

Whilst we don't know for sure if Farage was a racist in his Dulwich private school days, we do know for sure he is now, and being well paid for it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Trump does not want the Straits open, his mates are making too much money. But he does want to shift the blame from himself to NATO allies and others.

Trump is smarter than we think. For him the whole point was to have the Straits of Hormuz closed so that his energy buddies in the USA could scalp consumers with high prices. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is good advice. Also I learnt last night that Paul Merton does not have a mobile phone. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Operation Epic Fail is the title of the film biography that will win Trump a documentary Oscar, tho he will be unable to receive, being in jail.

Happy St Patrick's Day, especially to other Welsh who made the trip to Ireland long ago...

NEW ANALYSIS: North Sea “drill baby drill” would cut bills by just £16–£82 per year, and only if tax revenues are redistributed. A fully renewable UK could save households up to £441 says @smithschool.ox.ac.uk. www.smithschool.ox.ac.uk/news/drill-b...

There is one logical explanation.

And now the end is near. It's time to face the final curtain.

Please Russia install those missiles again.

America, tell us why...

europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of hormuz

A reminder that there are currently no US warships on patrol in the Persian Gulf. Their aircraft carriers are in either the E Med or Red Sea, and even there have suffered direct hits. They have no reporters on them for a reason.

We're at that stage where NATO countries think it's easier to take Trump out than to clear up his messes and live with his ongoing disasters. Remember, if he asks, it's how he asks that matters.

Trump says he doesn't know what NATO is for if it isn't to clear up USA's mistakes. No, Donald, it's like when you sh*t your pants. It's a hell of a stink but it's not our problem. Maybe try bringing the bombers home and see if the Straits magically open themselves. Operation End the Fury.

Zero self-awareness of what his dad did to the leader of the Iranian regime.
