Spain’s PM β€œThey say Spain is alone.”

β€œBut they’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine and then many followed.”

β€œWe are not alone. We are the first of many.”

Yes and what is all that mendacious rubbish about "defensive" attacks
Do Starmer and co think we are all stupid?"

They are not taking seriously their duty to protect the people of the UK, rather they are putting us in serious danger.

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

"Preparing" an aircraft carrier ( or something) to go to the gulf.

Is that not an indication that Starmer has every intention of joining his mate by sending help to the killing fields?

I think we've all learned by now that Starmer is the master of equivocation. At worst, he's a liar. At best, he's a gullible fool with a pathetic trust in the guarantees of the United States, even after its Secretary of State for War (sic) publicly mocked 'stupid rules of engagement'.

When in opposition, parties want a fairer voting system, but on gaining office they don't.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

London borough says anyone can grow veg on blank patches of council land If a piece of land owned by Hounslow Council is a blank canvas, residents need only ask to grow fruit and veg on it

I'm pleased to announce that today, Hounslow has become the first council in West London, and one of the first in the country, to introduce a #RightToGrow policy.

Our new policy, backed by #DowtonAbbey 's Jim Carter, allows community groups to take over unloved public land and #garden it.

Who wants to be linked, in History, with the guy who started a war the DAY AFTER this?

I wrestled with this article all day - an honest effort to assess the arguments in favour of the war, which I don’t entirely dismiss, and whether they outweigh the arguments against - on which my conclusion is no - largely because I don’t trust this admin’s motives, staying power or competence.

Reeves reaffirms commitment to end windfall tax in talks with North Sea bosses The Chancellor met figures from BP, TotalEnergies and Serica in Downing Street.

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants

With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive Β£2.7bn per year in tax breaks

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?

NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information
