Trump and the UK have much in common - both avoided getting involved in the Vietnam War.

Trumpโ€™s appetite for military adventurism and risk-taking seems undiminished and at this point Iโ€™m guessing will only be curbed by disaster.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

This is unexpected but Scotland have been superb and France looked shellshocked. Makes me feel a bit better about England losing at Murrayfield.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Something big is in those files... Even [Trump] recognizes whatever's in there is so immovable in terms of the impact and damage that it would to to him that he cannot allow it to be made public."

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

Trump keeps his tariffs, amuses himself by launching a war against Iran, drives up fuel prices, and threatens our food supply. The supply chains are wavering, and the employment report finishes turning this chaos into a looming disaster.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.โ€ (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Sign the Petition Katie Hopkins is not welcome in Wimborne!

The groundswell of anger against Katie Hopkins touring Britain like she's just some normal celebrity grows.

Well done to local people in Dorset who aren't taking it lying down.

Big money has bought British politics

75% of Reformโ€™s money has come from three rich white men

Rubio Today: Itโ€™s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. Thatโ€™s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didnโ€™t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Reform are not the Opposition. They have had fewer MPs elected than the Green Party, which had five elected under their banner in this Parliament alone.

STOP. MAINSTREAMING. REFORM.

If the BBC had given them coverage proportional to their actual significance, we would barely know who Farage is.

The irrational strongman weโ€™ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

US leaders have warned about an irrational strongman with atomic weapons for decades. Then he ran for president and we gave him the nuclear codes. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-iran...
