Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

The U.K. is doubling down on clean energy, not despite the Iran crisis — but because of it.

But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter They said Farage had hoped he would be able to catch Trump for a conversation as the US president was scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that evening. However, Trump had a change in his itinerary and decided to stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s drive away The Reform leader's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders who famously formed a close friendship in the vears before and after the 2016
Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.
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.
We thought the wallet inspector was just going to look for Obama's birth certificate and suddenly we're hunting neighbors for toilet paper again.
This should, with no sarcasm or irony whatsoever, be the highlight of every Democrat's campaign starting today. Trump just effectively gave the corporate version of a pardon to the most hated company on the planet. Absolutely no one supports this.
Their expertise comes from listening to their dad drone on more than anyone
President Trump’s eldest sons are investing in a new drone company, expanding their defense portfolio at a moment when the Pentagon is ramping up its own spending on unmanned aircraft systems.

I can’t fucking stand this discussion about how bad we are at working with Trump. It’s not our job to to appease a fucking lunatic in the Whitehouse.
This number should be at 100 percent.
I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.

Aside from anything else here (and there is a lot to unpack), the idea “Donald sending a few angry posts on truth social” is more humiliating than anything since Suez is remarkably psychologically illuminating. Our only job in the world is apparently to hang on America’s shoulder.
(watches USA pounding Iran, thousands killed, no plan for ending it, oil and gas prices shooting up threatening a fragile recovery)
right wing commentary: "omg, Clegg, Obama and Starmer sure screwed up this one, they've got a lot of explaining to do"
Extraordinary to pick Suez as an example - it turned into a humiliation precisely because our American ally was (very sensibly) unwilling to back us up!
Special Relationship Update
If you get passed the massive & overt corruption, the big issue with UK politics is that there are rarely any meaningful consequences for promoting & taking catastrophically wrong & self serving national policy actions.
Such behaviour in politics should be seen for what it is: treason

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

#BBCLaurak: Keir Starmer was concerned about the legality of Trump's actions
Tory war monger, Penny Mordaunt: "And this is the crux of it, Starmer is more interested in process than outcomes"
Mordaunt literally saying the PM should ignore international law, & LauraK doesn't even qn that position.
"It is [...] hard to avoid the conclusion that the Trump administration has embarked on this operation without a plan, and is making it up as it goes along, as if they killed enough of the right people and destroyed enough Iranian assets everything would fall into place."
Magical thinking.
Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?
... In exactly the same words
No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception Everyone is ok.
No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception Everyone is ok. Stay calm, everyone is safe.
No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception
No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception.
I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.
If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.
It's nuts. Syed's argument that we've accepted Islamists and failed to confront them is contradicted even by the examples he gives.
Abu Hamza: extradited to the US.
Abu Qatada: deported to Jordan.
Omar Bakri Muhammad: exiled to Lebanon.
Strawman: UK offers unlimited freedom & tolerance. Reality: ❌
I mean it appears to be a lost battle but literally every credible source says that the Iranian regime was surprised by October 7th, so how the fuck they “masterminded” the attack is beyond me
