The Labour Government have achieved, or are on course to achieve, 73 of their 95 manifesto pledges in just 21 months. Thats some kind of impressive achievement. fullfact.org/government-t...

Happy not be at war with Iran and pissing off all other countries. Grateful labour are in charge and not reform or tories. Also thankful we support nato and have no desire to have a new relationship with putin like if the greens were in power. Very British and strong how we are being internationally

Hard for Trump to get out of a war that is making so much money for Putin.

Energy crisis going on an people local to me protest about some fields being used for solar panels. It's not for a lack of education or money that makes people thick.

Of all the things to name after Donald Trump going on surely renaming April Fools Day after the ultimate clown seems a no Brainer.

Genuinely hoping the UK and the EU agree to purchase oil in Yuan. Resolve trumps issues and our own.

Seeing people talk about the starmer being unpopular from a journalist who you want to respect but can't. Excuse for doing it is reading the mood. Waiting to see their piece on the State of British journalism and news as even more unpopular but that might not personally serve them as well.

How can any British person, into British values etc, support a trump style leadership here in the UK? I get brexit voters historically will be known ad illiterate, gullible Fools, but to bring that corruption here to power will be unforgiveable.

"The alarm is being sounded over suspicions of insider trading," says Emily Maitlis. "There is a question whether some people are getting filthy rich on the back of an announcement that probably wasn't even true" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/did-...

So much of our tax is paid to corporations- whether as blatant as this or through universal credit for it's workers. How can the government not see this is why so many are salty about the cost of living.

See sky news talks the insider trader story with trump. Yet to see it covered on the BBC. Sky showed it all clearly, wasn't hard and is of interest to us all. Did I miss BBC talking it or are they as bad at covering international politics as they are domestic?

We need a meidas touch type thing in the UK. One that collates others and uses the umbrella to make a solid news source that can entertain as well as depress with reality. We have a lot of independents but nothing working together well.

Not all is bad in the world. Nik naks have made twister versions of their crisps.

I fully support buying replica football shirts. Football fans show how stupid they are in what they tolerate. England shirt sales benefit an American company who outsource them to slave labour in Thailand or Bangladesh. Workers who make more money from the fakes.

LOL. Israelis saying don't pay attention to Trump's tweets, he's just manipulating the commodities and stock markets for personal profit. And that's exactly what's going on.

They call it.. the greatest scam in human history.

BROWDER: Lifting sanctions on Russia and Iran makes no sense. I’m a financial specialist — I’ve never seen anything so senseless. Two evil regimes, Russia and Iran, are now getting more money for their oil. Something must be going on behind the scenes. Somebody’s benefiting.

Leaked transaction data reveals how a major refinery in Ireland feeds into the aluminum supply chain of Russian weapons manufacturers arming Putin’s forces as they attack Ukraine. www.occrp.org/en/investiga...

Logs into twitter and sees the only place talking Easter threats on ..checks notes chocolate eggs. And people think they need to defend this mistruth. That it is on x says it all. You play a game noone else is playing. A fight noone else cares about. Yet feed the monster as they lick their lips

Was the Iran war of late solely there to benefit Russia?

Did I get history wrong with anti semitism and the racism Jews endured for centuries? Were they declaring war the whole time as a nation to defend themselves from it? Or is everyone excusing violence for things? Not condoning anything, just feeling I have been conned or Israel have changed the story

Shouldn't even be in the Premier league.

Not saying the ban under 16s from social media is the shit idea it is BUT how do schools or parents expect to enforce it when schools post their days for the likes and adults have no self control either? Why are schools on social media at all. Ban that first.

If America does not need the strait of hormuz then why does it care so much about opening it and who will help? Just when I don't care about something - it's not what I spend time begging for help to deal with it. I don't care as it doesn't affect me, so I don't care what happens to it.

Iranian regime still doing monotonous things to its own. The energy crisis has been made and a dominance Iran only knew until now. Sanctions on Russia and Iran lifted. All to stop America feeling a threat that was never there for them. Not even America can get that close without British bases.

Netanyahu reveals the goal is to create Greater Israel and the return of the Jewish Messiah which in traditional Christian scripture is or is part the Anti-Christ and the beginning of Armageddon. “We will make it to the return of the Messiah … Israel has become stronger than ever”

Just saw on sky someone rightly saying whatever happens now - Iran know how to use the strait as a power weapon. Insane end result for all of us. Cannot believe Americans want us all to dirty our hands like that and risk the lives of our armed forces.

Man City still not facing any accountability. Sure its complex. How are more football fans not outraged?

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.

Are Americans even bothered how much they have messed up their international reputation to help putin? Or do they think its a Europe problem? Are they waiting to invade Greenland before caring?

Libel law enabled Jimmy Savile, Robert Maxwell, Cyril Smith, and many other monsters (note that I'm too cowardly to mention the still-living examples).

And that's the problem with libel law. The law itself is pretty reasonable. Our hypothetical blogger would be reasonably confident of winning, if their article was fair But they couldn't afford to.

Local news covering Ian Huntley. Papers talking his daughters feelings. If I ever wanted to be famous what would I do to women or girls in the UK to make it happen when all else fails and I feel rejected. It's a tough one. P.s David Beckham and Gordon Ramsey have families too.

Would love a break down on how much public money is spent on law suits. And how much lawyers, or their firms make from it.

Between brexit and the worshipping of trump - is there anything not pro Russian about out faux patriots?

So reform politics are the post brexit tory party, brexit. And Tony Blair's war policy. Can't think why they attract tax exiles money. If the tories themselves took a different approach and went back to being the conservatives I think it would help us all.

Who and what pigeon is briefing badenoch. Literally saying she would send our troops and begin a war with no idea of the plan or purpose. Ahh she just said she saw on social media. She is the pigeon. I take it all back.

Wait so those that brought us brexit over sovereignty, especially with the military, was to sell it to America. For free. No wait, for tariffs and insults to our military. And I assume by Churchill trump meant Boris Johnson. Deluded clowns.

Twitter used to be a good source for up to date news. Now it is just perverts and made up antidotes. Access to information does not increase intelligence

France sending help for us in this is a sign that not all western politics is determined to destroy peace agreements made following the last World War. Shows how weak the last decade or so of government left our forces but still good to see

The tories, now known as reform, left the UK so weak defensively. Lining their pockets as they took from our military. We have no bunkers, retail parks seem to replace them. No plan or procedure of what to do in a drone strike. Our armed forces are skilled but not equipped for these modern conflicts

So there is a trend online the schools sent out warnings of, red vs blue. None of the kids know or take it seriously but my generation of parents and their misuse of social media means it is constantly shared. We make so much anxiety for the kids in the pretence of caring. Ban us from social media

Turns out irans sanctions on the West, using oil geography and tactics will actually fuck us all. May be part of the reason we never went balls first into a war with them.

Taking out a murderous dictator seems to be the justiification. But it seems that Putin is never discussed in the same way. Why?

The RAF have been intercepting Iranian drones and missiles alongside American armed forces for a while. They deserve protection and respect. They do an incredible job, also alongside nato with Russia. People need to get better educated before escalating the uks position on this.

In an ideal world with an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, Israel and USA should sacrifice their supreme leaders to end the conflict and allow for peace. On top of all this the USA are also setting these stupid tariffs. And Americans- you voted this in recently!

So grateful we have calm, boring leadership here in the UK. One that protects our armed forces and doesn't work on knee jerk reactions. Europe has held itself well.

At what point is there a world war when so much of the world is at war? Really feel for all those serving Nato, and hope they stay safe.

Fuck me the Owen Jones/ corbyn left are back. With populism again. And it is a sad sorry state that we think that is the answer to reform.

Noone talking the disaster that is Ed davey. But sure
