Celebrations in Israel's Knesset to mark a vote to approve a new death sentence, expected to target only convicted Palestinians, were "grotesque" and the law "horrific" if it passes. Is the country's position as a "beacon of liberal democracy" long gone www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/isra...

Trump told Europe to find some "delayed courage" and they did – but used it to stand against his war in Iran. "Europe is saying, very loudly, this isn't our war," says Lewis Goodall. "Everyone can see that Europe and America are no longer as one" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

“To recap, we're not invited to Liz Truss's conference, but Tommy Robinson might be.” A sad day for The News Agents, as Liz Truss confirms we’re “probably” not invited to her ‘Make England Great Again’ conference this summer. Shame.

"Trump knows, in his bones, he's made a mistake. He started this war without an endgame, and thought it would be over extremely quickly." “He’s now facing Iran being able to say not only did it win this war, but came out of it stronger" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"The palace must be thinking - oh my god, what are we doing?" Moments after Trump slagged off the UK, King Charles confirmed his state visit to the US will go ahead. Is he being forced to go by the PM – and is this a recipe for a Royal cock-up?

"Matt Goodwin would have been a brain behind Reform politics, and he was considered an attractive addition." "Now, he's an embarrassment" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/matt...

"We're none the wiser as to where he got some of those quotes from!" Failed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin attempted to defend claims he used ChatGPT to write his new book. It didn't go well www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/matt...

"Undoubtedly, fractures are appearing. They're saying, 'Putting boots on the ground? In Iran? Are you mad?'" Is Israel backing away from Trump as he sends US troops toward Iran - and where's JD Vance in all this?

"Matt Goodwin is an embarrassment to Reform - 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘳." Failed Reform UK candidate Matt Goodwin is facing accusations of fake quotes, factual errors, and AI-generated content in his new book. Is it time to reassess his entire academic legacy?

"Truss says Islamism is backing the UK government, for which there is no evidence," says Lewis Goodall. "She says there is Sharia law in Britain, and that's a problem – also a complete lie." The UK doesn't listen to Liz Truss, so why does MAGA America? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"The reason why we're talking about this being such a mess is because of the long term forecast of what it is doing to global economies," says @maitlis. "All Trump is doing is looking at the bombs and drones" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

Morgan McSweeney had his phone stolen, along with every message he had with Peter Mandelson's, in a oddly "convenient coincidence". The News Agents are keeping "an open mind", but there are serious questions about the loss of such crucial evidence... www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

"The alarm is being sounded over suspicions of insider trading," says @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-...

When Tory Nick Timothy saw Ramadan prayers in Trafalgar Square, he said it was an "act of domination". He was praised by Tommy Robinson, and Kemi Badenoch asked if these events "fit" with British culture. Do the Tories have a problem with Muslims? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/do-t...

"We are dealing with a guy in severe cognitive decline who doesn't make sense from one moment to another" Trump says "in-depth" peace talks with Iran were a success. The problem is that no one else seems to have any knowledge of them taking place. www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

“That famous ideological warrior, once again, deciding she doesn’t want to talk to anyone who disagrees with her”. Liz Truss refuses to speak to Lewis Goodall at MAGA conference, despite taking to the stage to warn America about the rise of islamism - and Sharia Law - in the UK

“There are multiple billionaires in Trump’s cabinet. It’s not impossible somebody in government might have had the resources to do this”, says Paul Krugman. Have people inside Trump’s government, with knowledge of the Iran war, capitalised on the oil markets through insider trading?

"Truss says Islamism is backing the UK government, for which there is no evidence," says Lewis Goodall. "She says there is Sharia law in Britain, and that's a problem – also a complete lie." The UK doesn't listen to Liz Truss, so why does MAGA America? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"All Donald Trump is doing is looking at the bombs and drones..." If most people think the war in Iran is a total mess, why is Trump so convinced it's such a tremendous success? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"NATO is about defence - stopping things, not starting them. "When it comes to economic security, I don’t know that's the same as someone firing a ballistic missile at your head." Is NATO chief Mark Rutte right to ask member counties to 'unequivocally' back Trump's war in Iran?

The truth behind Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador may be lost forever, after an "oddly convenient" phone theft. Labour made a "song and dance" about similar behaviour from the Tories. Do they now have their own questions to answer? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

Morgan McSweeney had his phone stolen, along with every message he had with Peter Mandelson's, in a oddly "convenient coincidence". The News Agents are keeping "an open mind", but there are serious questions about the loss of such crucial evidence... www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

"A very convenient coincidence" and "conveniently odd". This is how ministers are describing the theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone, and his use of disappearing WhatsApp messages. So, is it an issue that government messages are "disappearing into the ether"?

"Trump ran on a campaign of Great Replacement Theory - that muslims needed to be banned, that Mexicans were animals. "After, politicians across Europe were espousing similar ideas - like Farage”. Has Trump helped spread the Great Replacement theory to the UK?

"It is grotesque to target people in the Jewish community whose goal is to save lives. Is THAT a legitimate military target?" Four charity ambulances were torched in an antisemitic attack in London. Direct action by Iran, or is a proxy-group to blame?

"It's racist – whether it's being expressed by a white politician like Nigel Farage or a black politician, like Kemi Badenoch." Historian and author Ibram X Kedni tells Lewis Goodall how a white supremacist conspiracy theory has infected UK politics www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/a-wh...

Just minutes before Trump announced “productive discussions” with Iran to end the war, traders placed millions in oil bets. Is this a remarkable coincidence? Or are Trump’s friends getting filthy-rich from his war through insider trading?

"Starmer is no Hugh Grant - David Beckham's right foot, David Beckham's left foot, and all the rest of it. But I don't think that we have heard him be 𝘴𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 in terms of a Trump rebuttal before." Is this the closest Starmer will get to his 'Love Actually' moment?

"People seem to know what Donald Trump is going to say and make bets accordingly..." Rumours suggest millions were made on Trump's false claims of Iran peace talks. Is he working in America's interest, or to make his mates richer? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/did-...

"We are now in this curious new world where we await verification from the Iranian regime to see whether the US president is telling the truth." Trump says peace talks were successful. Iran says it never happened. What's going on? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

Trump says "in-depth" peace talks with Iran were a success. The problem is that no one else seems to have any knowledge of them taking place. "We are dealing with a guy in severe cognitive decline who doesn't make sense from one moment to another" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

"The cynic in me wonders how many of his mates knew this announcement was coming." This morning - as markets opened - Trump declared productive talks to end the war with Iran. An hour later, Tehran contradicted him. Was Trump simply declaring peace to drive oil prices down?

Trump demanded NATO countries help his war in Iran – every NATO country said no. "Everybody is looking at the situation and saying, 'why on earth would we want to get embroiled in his war?'" Has 'desperate' Donald run out of friends? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

"When Joe Biden was failing towards the end of his presidency, we were asking if things were right." Is it time to ask those same questions of Donald Trump? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/is-i...

Has Trump achieved his aim of regime change in Iran? And if not, is a newly “hardened” cohort in its place which believes it “needs a nuclear weapon to guarantee its own survival”?

America’s ‘Secretary of War’ says “ungrateful allies in Europe” should be thanking Donald Trump for his action in Iran. But what should we be thanking him for? Is America actually winning the war?

Could it be that Donald Trump is actually winning the war in Iran? It may look like Trump blundered into the Middle East without thinking, but some experts believe the US president is achieving everything he wanted. Is it true? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/is-d...

"I’ve got muscle memory from covid kicking in, and the beginning of the lockdown," says Emily Maitlis, as some countries introduce energy restrictions. "We assume that Europe is insulated, that we'll be okay... Actually, this stuff creeps closer quickly" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

“It’s either a total win for Iran or a total win for America. It’s hard to see where the off-ramp is.” Are both Iran and America being driven to escalate and intensify the war further?

"A regime that silences critics. Shoots its people in the street. Acts with impunity. "Are we talking about the Ayatollah's Iran - or Trump's America?"
