Middle East crisis live: Trump calls on China, France, UK and others to send ships to keep strait of Hormuz open US president earlier warned strikes on Kharg Island oil facilities would follow hit on military targets if Tehran did not allow maritime traffic through key channel

A better headline, and story line, would be:

"Trump starts unjustified war; asks others to finish it."

The approval rating he gives himself is always above 800% and is the only one that matters.

Weapons of mass destruction is easily confused with weapons of mass desalination if you are not too bright.

I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna be very ugly about this. This stupid idiot needs to not even put Winston Churchill in his mouth. This is an embarrassment and an insult to people that live in Britain.. Winston Churchill is a better man than this piece of shit we have for president

On the plus side it is cheaper than shooting down your own aircraft.

Christopher who?

In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - Β£9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics.

Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy.

Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS.

They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.
