Here’s an example

He should know that the US hadn’t sold Tomahawks to Iran

Does he believe the lie or is he just brazenly making stuff up

Facts and Trumps “beliefs” seem to run in completely different directions

Can’t decide which is worse, Trump believing the blatant lies he’s telling or his knowing he’s lying but pretending to believe the blatant lies and not caring

We don’t need “Free schools”

Councils should have been able to build additional provision when needed

Instead we had numerous scandals & free schools opened where there wasn’t demand

All the reasoning put forward could equally apply to mainstream LA schools

Free schools & NSN have had their day!

There’s always been something that doesn’t feel right about this MAT

A married couple taking home £1/2m a year between them, the American directors, Tesla’s for management, close links to US institutions and now big deficits

It just doesn’t seem to pass my smell test

Here’s the former BCP council leader, Tax fiddler and now Dubai resident Phil Broadhead praising a piece that starts off claiming Trump “has been consistent in publicly stating its goals”

He’s as overly optimistic & as wrong as when he tried to run BCP

Ridiculous he’s now doing media rounds on UAE

There is also the new uncertainty

Even when the Strait eventually opens, it’s clear the Iranians are willing and able to close it at will

With Isreal seemingly looking for the complete destruction of the Islamic republic, closing the Strait is one of the few pressure points available

There was supposedly going to be a renewed focus on discipline & not getting yellow cards

The time they’ve been down to 13/14 men have cost them all three games

Just read a review of my lads band where he’s described as “Edinburgh’s premier guitarist”

No question he’s good, but still reckon he’s slipped a journalist a fiver

Can’t help feel the rumours Russia & Isreal have “something” on Trump might just be true

Otherwise, how else do they keep getting away with this stuff

Leavitt explains that when Trump demands Iran's "unconditional surrender," he's actually demanding something far short of unconditional surrender

Automatically provide Free School Meals to everyone applying for UC

If their claim fails, withdraw the support

The only downside being we might have schools feeding some relatively disadvantaged children for a month or so

The benefits up those families who currently go without, is significant

One additional issue with the 5 week wait is around Free School Meals entitlement

There’s no backdating of FSM eligibility with new applications having to wait at least 5 weeks before their children receive food support

With the ending of transitional protections, DfE could enact a simple change

Some parents can go to fairly extreme lengths to keep their entitlement

chart showing Change in the number and proportion of children living in relative poverty after housing costs, by Parliament: UK

Child poverty is set to fall by 3 percentage points in 2026-27, primarily due to the two-child limit being abolished.

But in the following years, the child poverty rate will start rising again.

By the end of the decade, the projected rate is just 0.5 percentage points below last year.

The Kurds are not going to want or be able to run all of Iran, for example they won’t get down to the Straits of Hormuz

The Turks will be v unhappy about the US arming Kurdish independence fighters

For decades America encouraged Kurds to step up & fight only to walk away as they are slaughtered

No one actually believes Iran were 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon

The crazy person, who paints himself orange, can’t complete a coherent sentence and is distracted by curtains, IS in charge of nuclear weapons and bad things ARE happening
