What an utter moron. The negotiations were, apparently, on the cusp of achieving an acceptable arrangement. But, because this would not have suited Israel's agenda, bombing was the chosen approach.
"Let's give Vladimir a break and extend the Russian invasion of Ukraine!" What a terrible decision by the #MangoMuppet.

They'll be cheering you to the rafters.
I agree with this sentiment and add: wasn't this also true for Gaza? and Syria? - We weren't very active in backing the population during the days of the Israeli bombardment and war crimes. Consistency would be nice.
Well, yes and: we've flogged off our infrastructure (Thatcher / Major), outsourced food supplies and defence and lack leadership that has a long-term focus. Solutions: aggressively invest in renewables, rebuild UK farming and buy back our power / water / telecoms infrastructure. We need #resilience!

... which demonstrates the UK's basic lack of resilience (a result of Thatcher / Major infrastructure sell-offs, general political short-termism and our lack of true statesmanship). We've outsourced food supplies and defence. Time to bring things home and work more closely with Europe. #Leadership!
Occasionally I decide to listen to Supertramp's "Crisis? - What Crisis!" album and once again realise that it truly is a thing of beauty and talent. I'm transported to another place when I listen to it - chapeau!
Britain's absence of serious statesmen - people who put citizenship above consumerism and demonstrate genuine interest in the less fortunate - is staggering, angering and deeply worrying. And #Tice demonstrates this to the max.

But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter They said Farage had hoped he would be able to catch Trump for a conversation as the US president was scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that evening. However, Trump had a change in his itinerary and decided to stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s drive away The Reform leader's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders who famously formed a close friendship in the vears before and after the 2016
Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.
No nuclear threat? - oh, you mean like "No IMD"? I think we've heard that one before!
Great stuff. #ChrisPhilp is deeply unimpressive and comes across as snidey, uninformed and - frankly - grossly unfit for public office ...
... but then, we knew that already!

"The UK 'privatisation premium' sees almost a quarter of the average household energy bill – roughly £450 – flow into corporate profits. Other essential services are similar: nearly 30% of a water bill goes to shareholder returns and paying debt." The UK is broken - thanks Maggie.
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Over the past week, Russia has attacked our country thousands of times – the enemy used nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people.
The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnson’s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war

Even Old Blind Freddy can see the US media is a kiddie diddler enabler... using Iran as a tool to fully smoke & mirrors distract the US public attention away from the Epstein Files. The USA hasn't arrested one rock spider mentioned in Epstein files!😏

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"
Never
Excellent perspective
Hypocrisy comes easily to hypocrites!!
True, it's not about systems but a combo of lowering the voting age to 16 (to reflect better future focus), making voting mandatory and a firm of PR would provide more balance and equity in government.
Isn't everything speculation until indubitably proven?! One can, however, draw inferences...
Stay in touch via non-right-wing commentary ...

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.
This infographic was produced in order of MP’s money earned from other jobs.
Ooh look who’s front and centre, it’s “man of the people” Nigel Mirage.
Not often seen in his constituency but topping the charts of additional earnings.
January 6 terrorists are committing 100x more criminal offenses than immigrants yet immigrants and their families are being kidnapped, assaulted, detained and deported whilst January 6 terrorists are being compensated.
I think this is the idea: Israel gets the chance to flatten Gaza, S Lebanon and Tehran; Trump gets to earn from the rebuild. Seems to be the modus operandi of the #MangoMussolini.

For anyone outside of the UK, unfamiliar with UK satirical/news magazine Private Eye, this is how most (?) Europeans see the Trump administration.
