I guess Trump fired Tulsi Gabbard because he doesn't need intelligence.

Question about Trump's sweetheart deal with 'his own' IRS: can this blatant piece of corruption be reversed by a future Democrat president? It's a barely believable move: there can be only one reason why Trump has refused to reveal his tax affairs and wishes that silence to continue for ever.

That’s how you do it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @MayorofLondon

Reform is on the hunt for a high proflle, popular and recognisable candidate for Makerfield. Just possible that Farage will regard this as so important that he resigns from Clacton and stands in Makerfield.

If Burnham wins in Makerfield, the leadership contest is a slam dunk. If Labour wants to avoid the chaos and public back-biting of a leadership campaign, two things should happen: no-one should stand against him and Starmer should stand down - so there would be a coronation and no real public mess.

Delicious irony: Keir Starmer will have to campaign enthusiastically for Andy Burnham to win in Makerfield.

A good photographer is worth his weight in gold

Prediction: Trump will announce a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell on 14th June. If not on his birthday, then on 4th July.

Transparency, Farage style. Harborne gave him a bung of £5 million as a 'reward' for his brexit campaigning. Is anyone investigating why a billionaire living in Thailand should be so passionate about brexit?

Superb tiny bit of trolling from a spox from the Asia Group, being interviewed on BBCR4: "President Trump is highly respected in China. They have watched his shows".

*speculation The reason that Starmer's meeting with Streeting (could call it the Streeting meeting) is that he told the pm that he's going to resign in coming days and there wasn't much else to say.

#starmer Problem (one of them) is that many in the party hate Wes Streeting. And many in the party hate Andy Burnham. Whichever way the thing breaks - after Streeting's resignation on Thursday - the future for Labour looks bleak.

Sleepy Joe Biden

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

Even though I'm a republican (not a Republican - I'm British), I can't help gushing over the way King Charles totally outclassed Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel has outdone himself this time! This pharmaceutical ad about Felon47 is hilarious! 👏👏👏👏👏😂👏👏👏👏👏 #ReZyne #JimmyKimmel

A monarch lecturing American lawmakers on the need for the separation of powers. The irony was probably lost on most of them.

The party of “hang Mike Pence” wants to lecture us about political rhetoric

I know it's not going to happen - but can you imagine the fallout if an American shooter did assassinate the king?

Trump loves to brag how other people are weak on crime. In the meantime he's pardoned over 1600 Insurrectionists, DOZENS of sexual predators, and DOZENS of some of the countries biggest drug traffickers. He also loves to blame fraud on Democrats and he's pardoned DOZENS convicted of fraud.

The man who just attacked the Pope with a tweet, also praised Allah in a tweet last week..

What's this rumour going round about the Conclave: that they're considering sacking Pope Leo and offering the papacy to Father Donald?

Exactly seventy years ago - in 1956 - the Hungarians rose up and replaced their pro-Soviet leader with a communist reformer, Imre Nagy. The Soviet government decided it could not allow a democratic Hungary. They invaded, killed some 2,500 and executed Nagy. Putin doesn't want a democratic Hungary.

Summary of a policy like no-one has ever seen before. 1. Iran is blocking the Strait of Hormuz 2. So the US will block the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation 3. But the Strait of Hormuz is already being blocked. 4. But if Iran stops blocking the Strait of Hormuz, the US will too.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Sometimes the camera captures the real man.

Reform UK members are a dodgy bunch. 36 councillors left Reform plc within six months of the 2025 elections. 20 of them were kicked out, mainly for racist social media posts.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was Melania who eventually brought him down.

Why is everyone mystified as to why Trump has sent Vance to Hungary to campaign for Orban? It's simple. Trump's ambition is to lead the worldwide right-wing. If he can pull Hungary away from Russia and add it to America's sphere of influence, that helps his ambition.

Much the most interesting aspect of Melania Trump's statement is that it seems that neither Trump nor the White House knew about it in advance.

Two weeks! You couldn't make it up!

"You're gambling with world war three." Funny how the things Trump says come around to bite him on the arse.

Palantir. Louis Mosely, executive chair of Palantir and - interestingly - the grandson of English fascist leader Oswald Mosely was on the BBC today. He said that Palantir always acts within the law. Palantir supplies the tech that enables the US to select targets in its illegal war against Iran.

Destroying Iran's entire civilian infrastructure sure will bring peace and harmony to the whole Middle East.

Kanye West can fuck off.

Hegseth: We don’t announce anything before we do it. That would be dumb. Got that, stupid journalists? Trump: I’m going to blow you up on Tuesday.

There's little doubt that Pam Bondi, were she so minded, could end Trump's political career in a heartbeat. She must be privy to an extraordinary amount of information about his illegalities.

The last time Iran held an American hostage, it brought down a president.

Absolutely outrageous that Biden caused an American fighter jet to be shot out of the skies by the Iranian air force. Especially when Trump and Hegseth have clearly stated that Iran's air defences have been obliterated.

Here's the next thing to make brexiteers froth at the mouth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know why Trump fired Bondi. It's because the Dow today is only at 45,000.

I hope no-one is expecting that Todd Blanche will be any different from Pam Bondi

At some point today, Trump will claim all the credit for Artemis.

Trump's threat to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure would be a clear war crime.

NEW: the UK government recommends that toddlers should not be given more than a hour's screentime a day www.ft.com/content/44fc...

When Trump says that 'the US will be Iran's worst nightmare if it doesn't agree to a peace plan', what he means is that Iran will be the US' worst nightmare if it doesn't agree to a peace plan.

Half time score: Iran 10, USA 0

Remember when Trump yelled at Zelensky in front of the whole world? "You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War Three."
