There’s always a positive side to everything.
Political science (along with history and psychiatry) is currently getting unique empirical data on what happens when the world’s most powerful nation ends up being led by an aged Nero.

SKY NEWS ARTICLE GRAPHIC. IMAGE: Ed Davey TEXT: Lib Dem leader calls for King's US state visit to be cancelled after Trump's criticism of Starmer
Trump’s illegal war is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families.
This visit should not go ahead.
Fascinating podcast!
The “she” is Isabel Okeshott .
It isn’t just that nearly half of british voters polled think that 🇬🇧 should stay neutral on 🇺🇸 war on Iran
Only about 17-18% think we should support it outstripped by those who think we should actively oppose it.

The saying “the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed” seems particularly apposite today.
OTD in 2015 I admitted that I was lying & that the masked, armed men in Crimea were indeed Russian soldiers.
In doing so I admitted I invaded Ukraine. You had the chance to do something. You chose short term profit. And long term losses
OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Tallinn, destroying 20,000 homes & killing 757 people.
Imagine, in 21st century, Russia being run by a madman capable of that.
Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?
I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Don't stop talkin about the Epstein files. Pedophile in chief will be held accountable... Sincerely the radical left scum 🥰👇👇
Works for me…
“We would be helping the Americans and Israelis in any way they saw appropriate”

FFS. He wets his pants about an EU army and British sovereignty one minute. But would sign our troops up to god knows what, the next.
Tice is a weapons-grade moron.
Ukraine successfully destroyed a Russian drone logistics hub with a combined attack of ATACMS and SCALP missiles. Orban of Hungary has robbed a Ukrainian bank convoy and stole $82 million dollars from Ukraine. Trump's war against Iran is currently crashing the global economy.

Viktor Orbán's mafia government in Hungary robbed a Ukrainian state bank armored vehicle and stole $82 million from Ukraine. Somehow Orbán thinks this will help him in his election next month.
Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to help kill American soldiers and Trump does not care. Trump will always prioritize billions in "business deals" from the Russians over the lives of American soldiers.
UAE and Qatar are asking Ukraine for their interceptor drone technology and protection from Iran.
The price of oil is back above $100 a barrel and climbing. Trump's war against Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and global supplies are in shock.
Labour will today set out how UK exporters and importers are expected to benefit from the new Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement with the EU!
Announced last May and negotiated since, it aims to make trade between the EU and UK easier, cheaper and quicker.
It will cut paperwork....
Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools. British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK's Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president Reform leader Nigel Farage's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders © Ben Birchall/PA
Farage had given the impression that he expected to see Trump, telling an event hosted in opposition to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's proposed Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius that the president "has almost understood the deal... but I'll be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and I will reinforce the message". 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.
“Farage’s relationship with Trump has cooled”
Not really.
Farage’s relationship with Trump is a one-sided humiliation-fest.
Farage remains desperately needy and willing to sell us out to Trump. But Trump doesn’t see him as important right now.

Trump bombs.
The Telegraph screams humiliation.
The Mail screams betrayal.
GB News screams weakness.
And all of a sudden a complex global crisis becomes yet another loyalty test to American power.
The UK deserves better than this performative war hysteria.

He’s golfing after bombing children and raising your gas prices.
I wonder how much of Jared Kushner's "negotiating" involves trading national security secrets for beneficial financial arrangements ...
Trump - plan? Does not compute.
Putin - plan? Very possible.
