Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover?
The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.
A special relationship is built on mutual love and respect.
An abusive relationship is when your partner belittles you, gives nothing back, threatens you, keeps negatively comparing you to an ex partner and despite it all assumes you'll always be there for them.

Underlying this is the squad balance. Its been assembled to pick up points at home and be hard to beat away against 14-15 better teams. Its not blessed with creativity to unlock the low block the other 4-5 will employ. Puts a different light on perceived hard/easy matches

Agree, not too fussed about the holiday makers but just heard on the radio a bloke who'd move there and now thinks its a little too dangerous so please rescue me! Iran hasn't moved, you made your tax free home now want tax payers to get you out!!

I felt that Gruev, who has given extra defensive strength against the better teams was unnecessary last night, a more attacking/creative player from the start could have helped us cause problems. Spent way too long crabbing across the back and no incisive balls forward

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May
The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office
The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. π§΅

A club formed by the city's Jewish community, a club that included the first black player to play in a FA Cup final, a club with a tradition of fighting fascists in the 80s....
Cretins who shame our club.

This the same Jim Ratcliffe who changed his tax residence from the UK to Monaco to save $4 billion in tax?
The same Jim Ratcliffe who wants the UK taxpayer to pay for Manchester Unitedβs new stadium despite being worth $21 billion?
Britainβs problems are homegrown, starting with this cockroach.

Man who moved abroad to avoid hundreds of millions of pounds of tax and whose business have benefited from hundreds of millions of pounds of public funds believes that, 'Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants, who are draining resources from the state.'

Says the gazillionaire who loves Britain so much he became tax resident in Monaco so he didn't have to contribute to Britain's resources. Physician, heal thyself.
