I had a relative who started giving people ball point pens when her dementia got really bad, don't know what made me think of that just now
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?
I wonder when Badenoch and Farage will realise that they have made a huge political error
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
Think we may have lost the moral high ground when it comes to dispensing refugee advice to other countries.
More broadly, the US has been simultaneously telling Europe it is destroying itself by accepting refugees from the Middle East, and also setting the scene for the next refugee criss.

Trump and Hegseth call it war every single day.
What even is this charade???
Might just post this every day

Homeland Security @DHSgov Democrats must end this DHS shutdown NOW.
it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party
If we nominate Trump we will get destroyed and we will deserve it. Lindsey Graham
Nearly there…
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
🇺🇸 All of that talking Britain down and pandering to the man in the White House to just be ignored...
The Special Relationship, like the journalistic credibility of Chris Mason, is something that doesn't exist.

Thoughts of that John Major speech, quoting Orwell, this morning "Old maids cycling through the morning mist"
The. Dumbest. Time. In. Human. History.
Also an actual quote from the article: "Ms Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X".
She/they are truly lost in a fantasy 'second life' world.

The preposterous line of questioning from BBC Breakfast presenters continues - "What are you as a government going to do on energy prices if the war starts impacting on the British public?". No reference to the fact that the government has absolutely no control over events in the Middle East.

Of all the complaints against Starmer, the most absurd is that it's "weak" to have a Cabinet that doesn't just rubber-stamp what The Leader wants on questions of war & peace.
I'd take Cabinet govt - in which ministers kick the tyres of big decisions - over the kneel-and-obey model of Farage any day
‘My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Iran’s plans at McDonald’s last night. I guess it’s pretty serious’
Why not ask Trump about causing unnecessary offence, Nick Robinson?

So she’s letting Elon Musk choose her shadow cabinet?
Right... And all for a conflict with no defined purpose, and no end goal, waged by leaders who apparently have no domestic guardrails and almost no limits as to what methods they will use.
Kemi's current fallback position as of yesterday was that nobody is being gungho and rushing to bomb but that Keir Starmer took too long, and also should have joined the initial attack.
The British right’s messianic zeal for a war that is illegal, has no clear goals, and has nothing much to do with the UK (beyond defence) is not the biggest story right now, but it is one of the most baffling
