What the hell is going on here?
Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Tugendhat sold out when he joined Liz Truss’s cabinet. He went along with a lot of the bonkers stuff.
I don’t know if there is anyone in the Conservative Party I would vote for now. If there are any decent people, they are keeping very quiet.
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN was killed in Kuwait while serving our country. She was an avid gardener who made salsa from peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son. She also loved rollerblading and bicycling with her daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. 🙏
It was, once again, a performance that could only be delivered by someone who is terminally online on X.
That's Badenoch's only view of the world and I suspect her PMQ "performances" are increasingly aimed at the purpose of clipping content for engagement on X.
Sir Edward Leigh appears to be the only one who ever offers any sort of rebuke to her.
I'm really disappointed in Tugendhat. I thought he was at least a real Tory but they have all gone down the rabbit hole.
It's tragic. The Lib Dems are now essentially what the Tories used to be.
And it is even sadder that there does not appear to be a single person left on the Tory benches willing to stand up and say so.
I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs
The Tories' YT channel, meanwhile, think SHE SMASHED IT.😂
It is embarrassing. She is embarrassing. Suggesting welfare is why we don't have more missiles is embarrassing. Philp jeering while PM is trying to list evacuation flights is embarrassing. They are embarrassing, yet somehow NOT embarrassED.
That good?
You don’t have to be ignorant to be a Republican these days but it sure as hell helps. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...
I don't think it's well understood in the general public what an insanely devastating weapon a torpedo is.
This shows it. This is a standard torpedo impact.
They don’t understand war. That’s the whole problem.
Meet the 3rd Gulf War.
Even more poorly planned than the 2nd Gulf War.
The Green Party is starting to look like Respect with better PR.

The special relationship hasn’t been ‘what it was’ for years.
He’ll be having a go at someone else tomorrow.
Seriously?
You’re just mad. Starmer has rebuilt the UK’s international reputation by working with European allies & Canada to manage Trump, protect Ukraine and do as much as possible to stop the atrocities in Gaza.
So that’s not how I’d characterise it at all.
'I never thought a despotic regime would try to harm me', says man who moved to a country run by a despotic regime for tax purposes.
And we are involving Palantir in the development of our defence infrastructure.
A company close to Trump and to what is rapidly becoming a hostile foreign government.
Like father, like son.
Not bone spurs this time.
Iran has attacked countries that were not involved in the US attack. Some of them were UK allies.
Defiant Starmer tells Trump ‘I stand by my decision’ not to join attacks on Iran

So policy of France and Germany is similar to Starmer’s.

The sooner Starmer realises Trump is the enemy and acts accordingly the better.
This is a good read.
I hope Scaramucci is right.
My feeling is that Iran is more likely to do for Trump than the Epstein files are.
(All the more reason for us to stay out of it.)
The Iranian regime will only fall if the armed forces mutiny.
As far as I can see, there’s no sign of that happening yet.
We need to stay out of this.
A maniac has started a war with another maniac.
Don’t get involved!
