U.S. Gasoline Prices, Rising Again, Are Now Up 17% Since Conflict Started

Rising fuel prices โ€” or gas prices, as the Yanks call them โ€” will scupper Trump, not the questionable legality of his unprovoked war with Iran. That, and the sight of dead American service personnel, will be his undoing.

"It's the proudest I've been of our Prime Minister in a long time."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social believes Trump's public criticism of Keir Starmer could actually be a good thing.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Foreign interference in UK politics is at an all time high. Musk is opening using Twitter to promote the latest bunch of neo-Nazi white supremacists to infect British democracy. Dangerous times

This weekโ€™s main story is about Twitter. Or โ€œXโ€ if youโ€™re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how itโ€™s impacting us all, and why thereโ€™s exactly one account there that weโ€™re still fine with.

Nigel Farage unveils his top team Former Tory leadership contender Robert Jenrick is named shadow chancellor while Deputy Leader Richard Ticeโ€™s portfolio covers business, trade and energy.

Vote Reform - get failed Tories
I'm baffled why anyone would consider voting for this mob. Everything they've touched has been a total disaster. Reform Ltd is built purely on racism - nothing else. A one issue collection of losers and charlatans.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.
