It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

If only there was a fast-scaling source of energy that can power cars without oil, is by nature distributed and doesn't need to be imported over and over again every time you want it...
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
Even if the destruction somehow stopped today, it will take years to rebuild.
I understand that there is now a major effort under way in the UK government on aligning regulations as SPS talks progress. Here is some evidence.
Presume some challenges within - eg aligning with EU checks on inbound products may clash with some trade deals
Even if true, which of course it isn’t, this doesn’t justify going to war without the approval of Congress & the UN Security Council.
Again, Iran is No Good & Very Bad is not an excuse for lawless authoritarianism here at home in 🇺🇸 or for violating our international treaty commitments.
The best rationale so far of the US strategy on Iran is the idea it was done to support Russia without being obvious about it.
It isn't as though other US statements or actions don't reinforce this idea.

Interesting result: Brexit increased immigration in the UK.
Few points:

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
I don't know how you prepare a population for bad economic news because the US President is crazy. I do know the UK is considerably better placed to survive the worst case than many other countries. But it will worsen a long ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

If the businesses I have spoken with in the last two weeks are typical, they will be annoyed by this consultation, as they want to talk to government about what is actually in the EU SPS deal, what the transition periods will be, and how it will be implemented.
If we analyse the activity of doctors and nurses properly from the patient point of view, it is likely that the majority of the time spent is wasted: www.hsj.co.uk/daily-insigh...

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
Right... And all for a conflict with no defined purpose, and no end goal, waged by leaders who apparently have no domestic guardrails and almost no limits as to what methods they will use.
Trump invites Latin America’s rightwing leaders to Florida summit. Trump’s guest list includes the rightwing presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, El Salvador and Paraguay but excludes the leftist leaders of three of Latin America’s biggest economies: Brazil, Mexico and Colombia

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.
“Setting an immigration policy which is fair, rational, and consonant with economic and demographic needs is not 'left-wing'. Operating an efficient and humane asylum process is not 'left-wing'. Making a clear distinction between immigration and asylum policies is not, in itself, 'left-wing'.”
