Donald Trump begs other countries including UK to help defend oil tankers in humiliating U-turn Less than a week ago, the US President declared the war in Iran was "already won" - dismissing reports the UK was preparing the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales to deploy to the region
No.
No thank you.
Go away.
Fuck off.
Hereβs part of the video where Bessent was pulled away because he was needed by Trump and returned an hour and a half later visibly shaken. This is where people were possibly wondering if information came in about Bibi or his brother, etc.

Melanie Stansbury: βEpsteinβs own accountant, Richard Kahn, gave contradictory testimony this week about whether or not an accuser of both Epstein & Trump (Jane Doe 4) received a settlement from the Epstein Estate for abuse β He now says he cannot confirm or denyβ
βFarage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problemsβ
V much summing up his approach to power.
Grifting and gobshiting - yes please.
Hard work and responsibility - god no.

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.
UK government minister confirmed the prime minister will not follow the US president in temporarily waiving sanctions on Russian oilβ¦βWhat we absolutely canβt have is Putin sitting in the Kremlin seeing this as a chance to invest in the war machine.β ππ

South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes
Water companies haven't built new reservoirs for decades, paid dividends, govts did nothing
Govt wants to build new homes but no infrastructure planning. That's what happens when you privatize essentials infrastructure.
"We know that within that first hour of war, between 140 and 160 Iranian school girls were killed by an American Tomahawk missile," says Emily Maitlis.
"Now, if that's what Trump thinks of a success, I am speechless, frankly"

After a long day in committee, Iβm feeling utterly revived by seeing this great clip of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social making her maiden speech in Parliament.
Her voice is so very, very needed.

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by controversial US analytics software company Palantir

Β£0 debt

The British public has been robbed - and our waters polluted to an extreme - and STILL Labour are refusing to renationalise water, disgraceful
If only Hungary had not positioned itself as an enemy to Ukraine, blocking aide and blocking arms and stealing itβs money.
Bravo π
The European Union and United Kingdom, which have largely done nothing at all to hold Israel to account and swear off ever doing anything to hold Israel to account, demand that Israel stop its land theft in the West Bank, or else the EU and UK will do nothing some more.
Awks for Tories & Reform who want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels: new @theCCCuk report shows transition to net zero will cost less than a single oil shock - Β£4bn a year - as well as delivering health & security benefits
It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.
But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.
A fuel duty cut of 25p would cost Β£12bn and instantly be lost as Oil Companies and Supermarkets raised their prices
It would mean, even before raising their prices, that the Oil Companies would make twice as much profit as you pay in tax
It's a tax cut for Big Oil
When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Murphy: βI think itβs likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadershipβ
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
this makes a lot of sense to me
Last year, in a futile attempt to appease the ungrateful orange tyrant, the so called 'special relationship' cost British taxpayers Β£5m.
Charles Windsor and his family, if they genuinely wish to represent the views of British people must tell him to fxxk off.

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 Britainβs foreign policy to Donald Trump.
