The Golden Age rolls on.

Would this be the same Iran conflict Kemi Badenoch has just spent an entire week calling Keir Starmer a coward for not wanting to join?

It’s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg criticizing Trump, saying money from the Middle East is going into the Trump family’s crypto fund while Americans are being sent to the Middle East for Trump’s war. A video frame shows Buttigieg speaking.

Pete Buttigieg nails it.

Where's Christopher Lee when you need him?

Today, from 2.30, on BBC Radio Wales with Eleri - reviews of The Bride, Hoppers & War Machine, and my 3 of the best big screen brides. Joiwch.

This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.

Minnesota would like a word.

Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all.
With the media’s help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks he’s answerable to no one and simply owed power.
It’s become a national imperative to prove him wrong.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Fascinating anecdote from A.N. Wilson today in the Mail. 20 years ago the brother of the editor of the newspaper he worked for became a foreign ambassador. Then the late Queen & Prince Philip came to visit the country & left behind a pile of expenses for their official trip. HT @willoyd.bsky.social

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Taxi'n gracyr fach...ddim y fersiwn gyda Jimmy Fallon, yn amlwg.

Summary:

The electorate is restless.
Labour is rudderless.
Greens are hope.
Tories are hopeless.
And Reform’s silent majority has once again turned out to be a noisy minority.

That's the way to do it. So good to see progressive politicians pushing back hard on Reform's messaging. Highly effective and so refreshing and Labour could learn a lot from Polanski in this regard. Take the attack to the Faragists - don't let them get away with it.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Robert Jenrick has defected from Reform to the Greens.

Today, from 2.30, on BBC Radio Wales with Eleri, we have Epic, Scream 7 & The Bluff, and my 3 of the best films with four letters or fewer in their titles. Joiwch.

Nos fory. Tomorrow night.
Allai addo sbort, ond allai ddim addo bihafio. Welai chi 'na.

Today, from 2.30, on BBC Radio Wales with Eleri - reviews of Cold Storage, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die & If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, and my 3 of the best sci-fi comedies (no BTTF or Galaxy Quest for the added challenge). Joiwch.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

Thing is though, I really want this t-shirt now!

Far-right thug Tommy Robinson flees UK after police warning over terror threat Far-right thug Tommy Robinson took to social media this evening to proclaim himself a 'priority target' for ISIS, adding he had fled the UK after receiving a call from Bedfordshire Police

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

I prefer it when ‘Traitors’ describes the TV program, not the people potentially electing the next government.

😂😂😂👏👏👏
