Iran latest: Oil price passes $100 for first time since 2022, as Khamenei's son named leader UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will join an emergency meeting of G7 finance ministers later to discuss oil prices. Meanwhile, 32 civilians are injured by an Iranian drone attack on Bahrain.

#Trump couldn’t be doing more to help out Russia #PutinPatsy

Of course we wouldn’t to think to learn any lessons and start to build up a strategic reserve

Utterly appalled and this is a war the media want us to blindly support the US in

Just checking, did you lacerate Blair for his illegal war in Iraq? I’m sure this balanced article explains the nuances but the first line about the Falklands was so trite I couldn’t read on

Today’s conspiracy. Iranian war will be used by Trump to walk away from Article 5 without killing his support at home

@therestpolitics.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social As the leading political podcast and building on Rorys enthusiasm for local town halls to generate and evaluate policy ideas, could you set up a site for people to submit policy ideas and perhaps use AI to evaluate/bring together themes?

In modern politics, people’s concerns are either hyper local or global. National perspective increasingly confined to sports events. Sensible politics would be to empower the regions and use them as a melting pot of ideas/people/parties. Central government is left as a referee/enabler/auditor

The destruction of the US will mean their corporations are likely to start looking to rebase their operations. This needs to be managed collectively, profits/jobs/taxes/corporate standards/governance should also move across. No more of the US stripping the value from overseas companies/operations

Is there any evidence they tried to get out of the “box” by, say, indicating to come out and waiting for a space

The arguments to rejoin gather momentum but we are stuck with an indecisive and incompetent government in thrall to Reform

Sure the Trump family will be able to spot the US government a few quid if they are short

Congress and US public are basically the Deutsche bank - financing Trump and so far down the rabbit hole that they are scared at what happens if they turn the money taps off and it all falls apart

Assume this is to allow him to build his name into the fabric of the building so it will be cost prohibitive to remove

Thin gruel of Labour policies. Red meat. Rejoin EU. Empower councils. Central government should be enabler, redistributor, auditor and setting guidelines. Bring the market place into government. Invest in education. Invest in the military. Incentivise key strategic industries

Sounds like Starmer needs a counterpoint who challenges him. Let Burnham sit the by election and give him a senior position. Great governments are borne out of conflict and challenge at their heart. @newsagents.bsky.social

Given the only important person in Trumps life is himself, I guess that does make sense

Ignoring all this to own the libs. If the vote can be manipulated are we really still living in democracies. It is no longer about the means of production but the access to information and ability to subvert truth

What Trump learnt from Epstein woo the powerful, get them on side and get leverage on them

Does pointing a gun at someone mean so little in the US that it just happens as a matter of course

It shouldn’t even need to be released now. Clearly if there was anything damaging to Trumps enemies it would be everywhere so there must be a mountain of evidence against Trump and his acolytes. How is the Trump base spinning this

EUR need to establish a similar base the Finnish side of the border and start practicing joint operations.

Hopefully this is a sign that they are scared but these newspapers really should come with a health warning setting out their ownership, special interests and hidden agendas

Yet he has managed to bury the Epstein files again. Flooding the zone again and again

Congress is cowed. ICE needs to be watched, seen and documented. They cannot be allowed to operate in the shadows

Obtain a monopoly position. Enforce it via a corrupt government. Quality of service and delivery become less important.

Who needs AI and robots when we can just become automatons instead

In terms of free movement, is the UK even attractive anymore given the alternatives

Rejoining the EU is the only way to stop Trump It is time to return home

Full EU membership should be put to the public at the next election. It's time to return home.

Blue states should be putting legislation through to pause ICE actions on election day and using their own national guard to protect its integrity

Laughable that the US can still present itself as a reliable and trusted actor in these talks
