Pecksniff: ‘The special relationship is not what is was,’ grumbles Trump. Thank god. In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Starmer declines Trump’s invite to another Middle East adventure, citing international law.

Tories yearn for days when we followed Washington into every catastrophe.

Prosper Conservatives now whisper the heresy: proportional representation.

Yes its Sat & time to see world thru Pecksniff's eyes...

These days I find that I can't be bothered
To argue with them, well, what's the point?
Better to take your shots and drop down dead
Then they send you home in a pine overcoat
With a letter to your mum
Saying, 'Find enclosed one son,
One medal and a note to say we won'

Donald Trumps Raufbold: Markwayne Mullin soll Heimatschutzminister werden Markwayne Mullin war Käfigkämpfer, als Senator drohte er einem Zeugen Prügel an. Jetzt soll er Nachfolgerin der entlassenen Heimatschutzministerin Kristi Noem werden. Der Präsident sieht dafür sogar über ein Manko hinweg.

Remember too, that the money from the Venezuelan oil goes to a UAE account that Trump solely controls. And then, the oil that goes to America (besides that in America) goes through the Strait of Hormuz, and see what our gas prices are doing (and to the economy).

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

How Pete Hegseth talks is like he thinks he is in some kind of video game so this doesn't surprise me at all. They have no respect for human life unless it is theirs.The damage this regime and this war is going to to to America will take decades to undo.Nobody, except Israel, will trust them again.

and stepping away from the war bit (if it's possible) I hope there is a backlash from the studios, actors and creators who's clips have been used for this shite - if there is a removal of implied consent to rip this off it would be a start

Check to see if Trump and others in the administration invested a lot of money into oil futures just before the US started this illegal and immoral war for Israel.

Interesting. Of course the treaty is needed because of Brexit.

Is the treaty lopsided? Yes - it means in practice that Gibraltar becomes part of the EU.

All the talk of sovereignity in the treaty is just a fig leaf for Gibraltar becoming part of Schengen, the Single Market, and..

Christopher Harborne has cemented Reform’s status as a mo... New political donation rules won’t stop him giving as much as he likes

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

Particularly classy move right after you blow up a school full of little girls. Twice.

And the WHO says they blew up 13 healthcare centers and hospitals.

They're bragging. They think it's manly or something. They're beating their chests after committing mass murder.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”
