Are we going to have to do that “lets talk about properly sorting out the Rough gas storage field and then do nothing about it” thing again?

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

Starmer urged to launch WW2-style war bond plan to plug defence £28bn black hole A defence trade body wants a bond-buying scheme to bolster defence innovations like counter-drone and sub-sea autonomous vehicles

Great to see @makeuk.bsky.social backing defence bonds. We need urgent funding to rearm.

Despite big talk from Labour and Tories, only the @libdems.org.uk have a plan.

Bonds would raise £20bn over two years and allow everyone to invest in our nation's defence.

The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.

It's difficult to see how the UK Government can seize the moment for a really meaningful reset in the UK-EU relationship while clinging to a Blue Labour agenda on immigration and identity.

To be fully trusted in Europe, the UK government must embrace the idea of Europe, and the four freedoms!

Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.

REPORT on the housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing | A10-0025/2026 | European Parliament REPORT on the housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (2025/2070(INI)) Special Committee on the Housing Crisis in the European Union Rapporteur: Borja Giménez Larraz

We gave evidence to the HOUS committee arguing that the crisis cannot be reduced to simple lack of new build. Policy makers need to reduce the flows of speculative finance in to housing that are drivihng up house prices & rents. Sadly we were ignored. Report: www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

I don't think consider or consequences are words included in Hegseth's American language!

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.

Presumably on the basis that if no one knows who it is they will live longer? I think Netanyahu has an answer to that: just kill a whole bunch of candidates. That fits with his normal approach.

Were they running low on Palestinians to slaughter? Seems like Netanyahu needs more victims?

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responds to President Trump’s latest outburst.

“The job of the British PM is to take decisions in the national interest of the U.K., not in the interests of other countries… we don’t outsource foreign policy to other countries”.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Operation Epstein Distraction: illegal war distracts from files alleging Trump's rape of girl New Epstein file revelations accusing Trump of rape are resurfacing just as his war on Iran dominates headlines

Trump’s illegal war on Iran is distracting from new Epstein file revelations showing testimony from a child victim alleging Trump raped & sexually assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 years old. Trump’s farcically-named ‘Operation Epic Fury’ has been dubbed ‘Operation Epstein Distraction’

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?
