Isn’t it? I just heard Trump’s press secretary say it and honestly I’ve no idea how she kept a straight face.
It’s worth noting that a higher oil price massively benefits Russia and Putin’s war effort.

Everything else aside, it needs to be said that “Epic Fury” really is the worst mission name.
I’m honestly embarrassed for whoever came up with it.
Hadn’t she already shot the puppy before she was hired?
I feel like Trump’s probably reasonably pro-puppy shooting.
Very well said by @calummillerld.bsky.social here.
How dare people like Oakshotte criticise what’s going on here in the UK without any attempt to contribute financially.
She’s a charlatan and a chancer and Calum is 100% right to call her out.
More of this please.
I’m not a huge fan of Starmer but for Trump to say that he is the one who’s damaged the “special” relationship when Trump himself has:
- threatened to invade a NATO ally
- tariffed the UK
- lied about our politics
- supported proto-fascists in the UK & abroad
- bombed several countries
is bonkers.

Well that only gives you 295 which is nowhere near a majority, even taking SF not taking their seats into consideration.
Also, as unionists I’m pretty sure the LibDems (or Labour) would never go into coalition with the SNP as they would definitely demand a referendum as part of their preconditions.
This is really interesting, but no route to any realistic coalitions so I guess we would be functionally ungovernable if this happened.
The one positive is that at least there's no Reform majority.
Sort of a Special Military Operation then I guess?
Since Starmer’s announcement the Iranians have attacked RAF Akrotiri, so Ed’s absolutely correct.
This is very troubling news if this confirmed.
My thoughts go out to all serving UK personnel and their families based in Akrotiri and indeed to everyone across the region tonight.
This is an incredibly bold claim from the woman who used to be married to Michael Gove.
Farage, Tice, Yusuf, Braverman - your boys took one hell of a beating!!
Oh no! RIP Rob Grant! Very sad news - thank you for all the laughs...
Reform are the very definition of the Epstein class.

Good news! It’s becoming increasingly unworkable with the rolling stock that they’ve currently got.
It’s time to get tough, the time for talking is over!
I say we hit them hard with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign!
Well it’s a good job no one pays that much attention to them anymore I guess.
How great is Stephen Graham? Not only the best British actor of his generation but comes across as such a genuine, open and humble character - top man! #grahamnorton
Go on Matt Weston! Absolute legend! 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Would be fascinating to know how the bloke in the half and half scarf behind the goal was feeling at that point.

Err, sounds to me like Mr. Bad-Bunny has never tried stilton.
Kings end and queens ave in Bicester
Cherwell District Council has announced cleaner air at Kings End and Queens Avenue in Bicester. Nitrogen dioxide levels lowered sufficiently to remove its status as an Air Quality Management Area. The council say this is due to active travel & traffic re-routing.

Shamefully, I’ve never read a Stephen King book before so following @simonmayo.bsky.social ‘s recommendation I’m diving in with The Stand…
Very first thoughts - 1000 pages! Crikey! 😂
Glad to hear it - I was worried Trump might have jeopardised NATO or something mad like that.
Right, I've been off social media for a month as part of my NY's resolution...
What did I miss?
