Exactly, Rachel. I once described it as trying to hit a perpetually moving target.

Sad news for the voters of Clacton who were hoping Farage would be able to bend the POTUS’ ear about fortnightly bin collections.

And each element takes time, sometimes extended time, to development as a coherent whole, the key being the human aspect. We all, including the senior teachers, have to approach this humbly. No-one is an expert in everything...

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

Revealed: The Staggering Amount of Time Nigel Farage has Spent on β€˜Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP The Reform UK leader has logged more than 1,100 hours for 14 outside employers since his election in July 2024 reports Olly Haynes

Farage has spent over 140 working days at his various other jobs since being elected to Parliament in July 2024.

Parliament has sat for approximately 260 days since he was elected.

Mirage was contacted for comment.

His constituents want to know where he is.

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

So let me get this straight: Trump fired Noem after she lied about spending over $200 million of taxpayer dollars on ads promoting herself.

But he wouldn't lift a finger after two Americans were killed by her federal agents?

If GB News is loss-making but there are people still willing to keep it broadcasting, ask yourself why. Is it because it is successful in skewing British politics rightwards, either through the broadcasts, the website, or sharing clips on social media? And that is more important than profit?

I'm not sure this is a reasoned use of "imminent threat"

But if this is to be the new justification for attacking Iran, then why didn't Trump act sooner?

Wouldn't it be utterly incompetent to ignore the "imminent threat" during his last term?

V.good @thenewsagents.co.uk today. I’d no idea DT’s interference in foreign nations had run to this extent. I agree with Starmer - we have copious evidence that this type of war cannot be won from the air alone - unless it involves decimating the civilian population. I am dreading what comes next.

If there isn’t a leadership, it becomes impossible to negotiate an end to the war
