They took me out of the EU so I ran here to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Love outdoor pursuits but getting to an age where I hurt myself rather too much. Keep trying though. Cautious about Labour but delighted tories are out. I want back in the EU.

Considering Trump considers our Troops as Losers and Suckers and he knows his kids and the kids of his oligarch buddies won’t have to go fight , he doesn’t give a damn.

Soaring oil prices suggest that more increases could be in store for American drivers. Diesel, jet fuel, and other refined products are also becoming much more expensive.

Was asked in Belfast last night the difference between the city in 1998 and today. I said then always felt edgy and dangerous. Now feels like a modern European capital. 80pc said they felt more European since Brexit. And by 83-17 they said Gerry Adams deserved Nobel peace prize more than Trump !

It is not hard to manage tRump. If enough Republicans in Congress put their big boy pants on and dare to hold tRump accountable all this would end. Impeachment and removal would be possible. Historians will remember these men as submissive weaklings.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

The problem Israel and America and their friends in the media have is to make the case that the men, women and children now being mercilessly bombed are the threat to world peace and stability.

Trump doesn’t want Americans to know they’re in danger because he’ll look bad.

In White House comments, Trump now suggests that he “forced Israel’s hand” in launching the war on Iran, when confronted with the contention that Netanyahu is in the driver’s seat.

How Iran war may accelerate the fall of US empire This conflict could prove to be Washington's most perilous adventure yet - the classic story of a superpower overreaching

‘Suez did not end the British Empire overnight. But it exposed something fatal: that military capability without political legitimacy and force without restraint accelerate decline rather than prevent it … Iran may yet prove to be Washington’s Suez.’

I can't stop watching this, it might be the most Kemi thing I've ever seen. The assumptions about other people's motives. The implication that obviously she knows better than everyone else and that everyone else recognises it. Just incredible levels of Badenoch.

Really strong "determined to destroy the world economy" vibes here. Perhaps he thinks American voters (as opposed to oil executives) will reward Trump for raising the price of oil and gas. Putin must be feeling like all his birthdays have come at once.

I hate the word ‘fresh’ full stop in this context. It should be reserved for water, air quality and laundry. It tries to disguise the actual meaning which is usually just ‘more’. It is pretentious language in any news report in this context.

Ukraine's experience priceless as Iran war sees long-range strike drones go global The Trump administration's move to launch a large-scale strike operation in Iran has seen state-on-state war return to the Middle East with a vengeance. Hours after the first U.S. and Israeli strike...

First used against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure in late 2022, the Iranian designed long-range suicide drone quickly became one of Moscow's most well-known weapons of war, terrorizing cities, demolishing infrastructure, and hammering important targets on the front line.
