Ballpark? This tells me that they don’t give a fig about their service personnel.

Sharpest bit of BBC journalism I have heard in a long time

newsreader: how long will it take HMS Dragon to get to Cyprus

Correspondent: it depends how fast it goes

Did anyone challenge this? Or perhaps ask why the US sold T’hawks to Iran?

It’s always the same when you look up these awful people. There is always even more horridness to uncover.

If this is actually the new set of strategic goals, the Trump administration is admitting that they have strategically failed and this has been a disaster.

He most definitely isn’t. He was RTR (I took over a squadron from him).

Would this be the same Iran conflict Kemi Badenoch has just spent an entire week calling Keir Starmer a coward for not wanting to join?

9 days in, the most basic question about the Iran war remains unanswered In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR

WHY did the U.S. go to war?

A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.

Donald has killed a geriatric mass murdering fundamentalist & replaced him with a younger and more extreme version, all while saving the Russian war machine by spiking the oil price.

Nice not to be the only master strategist.

If you're waiting for Trump to come to his senses - don't

- he's never facing another election

- he's got total immunity thanks to the Roberts court

- he will pre-pardon everyone who works for him

enjoy your Monday xx

Farage supports the bombing of Iran.

The bombing of Iran is making us poorer. Fuel, food, goods are all going up in price. Investments (your pension!) are going down in value.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Farage only cares about himself.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."
