The #BBCNewsatTen played two clips from this speech, but not this one. Protecting Trump?

What IS up with Marco Rubio’s shoes?!!!

I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war. Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

Reuters: ‘!! TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WEIGHING FURTHER EASING OF RUSSIA OIL SANCTIONS AMID PRICE SURGE - SOURCES’

Hello, hell no. First of all, this war is illegal. Secondly, if a war is illegal, there's no legal jurisdiction for a draft. It's a war of choice, a vanity war, and there's no way in hell you're sending America's sons and daughters to fight, just to cover your pedophile ring.

What did Jack Dorsey mean by ‘ideology’?

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage would’ve had us helping the US bomb schoolgirls and helped Israel drop phosphorus bombs on Lebanon. #warcrimes

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof

Morning Star attacks Starmer for slavish backing of Trump. Daily Mail attacks Starmer for not supporting Trump. I’d say he’s got it, bang on!

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Putin gets: High oil prices, Loosening of sanctions, An EU that's weaker politically and economically, An Iranian client state that's even more dependent on him, A US military rapidly depleting its smart munitions, A global surge in anti-Americanism. Quite a haul. Even Israel can't match it.

This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.

Listening to this is two minutes well-spent.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Britain is in a deep structural economic hole thanks to austerity, Brexit and global shocks that is nearly impossible to get out of. It is rather unfair to expect government to reverse those long-term drags on national prosperity, but it needs to start explaining to voters why we are where we are.

@michaelspicer.bsky.social has a brilliant take on this type of programme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjnm...

President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. That is what I have done, and I stand by it.” Go Keir Stay strong #iranwar

"We are not neutral. We are supportive to Iran." - Andrei Kelin, Russian ambassador to the UK. Kelin is one of the harshest mouthpieces of Russia's confrontation with the West. Kelin never speaks by his own accord, he transmits the Kremlin's position.

Mick Lynch defending the PM and even Gove backing the PM decisions 😳😳 Jeez maybe I was too hard on myself saying EVERYONE seems to be a bit mad. Maybe there is hope. Maybe.

I hate agreeing with Zack Polanski, who has very odd views about a lot of things. But he is right about this

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies. www.ft.com/content/ac77...

‘If Trump were purposefully doing Russia’s bidding, it is hard to see what he would be doing differently’. A 48-minute speech worth hearing #Epstein #Russia #Trump

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

Your Brexit made us irrelevant Your Brexit ensured our isolation. Your Premiership bought shame to our nation. Breaking international law and moral and ethical corruption. This PM is giving us back our dignity, relevance and integrity. Shame on you, you lying, putrid, bag of piss.

Beautifully put!

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”. Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Any journalists who have leads on Farage in any shape or form, please pass them to John Sweeney for his book. #JournoSky

Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world. But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this. And it must eat him up.

This is a great article and got too little attention when it first came out. @propublica.org is doing amazing work.

Not being funny but why was Noem fired? She is no worse than any of the others. Who is she worse than?

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

BREAKING on MS NOW: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation. The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

And this is a Republican 🔥

This what Badenoch expects Starmer to endorse? Really?

Jansen Ganesh is on fire in this column on the UK’s role in the Iran conflict www.ft.com/content/eaee...

As bad as the entire situation in Iran is, the way it’s being communicated about to our troops is even worse. At least 200 members of the U.S. Armed Services have filed complaints alleging that military commanders have used extremist Christian rhetoric to justify the war with Iran.

Wow 😳

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped up that deal. Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
