14 years of austerity, Brexit and £37bn wasted on an incompetent and corrupt response to Covid has led us here…
He should be apologising…
The UK declines joining the criminal US and Israel in their illegal war of aggression on Iran.
PM Keir: “Donald Trump has plunged the Middle East into chaos. We will stand by ethics, no matter the pressure.”
People in Britain need to be really clear that the reason they are about to be worse off is Donald Trump and his enablers.
If true that Trump is signalling an end in sight, then what we’ve learned from this fiasco is that the Iranian regime does not collapse even under intense pressure & the rest of the world can’t endure closure of the straits of Hormuz for very long at all www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
Civilians in Tehran are reporting toxic oily rain following US and Israeli airstrikes on oil storage facilities. An estimated 10 million people face exposure to hazardous chemicals, with risks including skin burns and lung damage.
Genuinely if Wales went 7-1 and dropped Deaves & Thomas onto the bench they could have git proper energy annd an jackle threat onto the field in that final quarter it could have, insane as it would have felt beforehand, won the game.
I love being able to focus on rugby rather than the WRU after a Wales win. What a job Tandy is doing right now.
Woof
Do we actually know who owns the hero dog?
They could hire him out to Spurs….and our firework team….could make everton some money

Tim Shipman accused me the other day of not knowing how to “political journalism works”.
Well, the modus operandi is clear for all to see. Unattributed briefings to channel, without responsibility, whatever undeclared agenda a source or political journalist wants to pursue
Tonight, the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill is back in the House of Commons.
A reminder of the amendments we're backing, and why 👇
This is a strange way to say he supports the governments decision.
This is Farage's work as he's in US.A traitor to his country.Loyalty only to Trump. t took the US yrs to get involved in WW2 to join Europe who didn't instigate a war like US wth Iran.
It took weeks for US ships to reach Middle East.Its only been 1 wk since it started.
After tariffs, Putin 🇺🇸no ally
Get ready to be annoyed when petrol prizes go up and a) a bunch of politicos declare the government's poll ratings have gone down because Starmer didn't go in with the US on Iran and b) a bunch of politicos who support the war blame the government for increased energy costs.
Time to make Turnberry Golf Club a huge windfarm.
He has been attacking Allies all year, belittled their past war efforts, and did not engage in coalition building before the war. Then he whines when other sovereign countries refuse to join an ill-defined war.
If I were Starmer I'd be fairly relaxed about Blair having a pop at me on this issue...
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
History lesson.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
Quite right…
Another day, another report on Royal Mail delivery failures.
Anyone seen Vince Cable!? Failing that has Ed Davey given his thoughts…
Further, anyone know why BBC/media seem oblivious to the origins to much of the failure in services we see today.…ie austerity coalition.
“I’m so proud of him & pleased. He’s had so much going on but he’s dealt with it so well. It was the Dwight I know he can be"
On Dwight McNeil's return to the Everton team, work behind the scenes & a fully deserved ovation

Everton fans kept Everton up, not Dyche.
I don't think Spurs fans have the minerals.
Coming from two goals down at half time, at home to Crystal Palace in a must win game, isn't for everyone....
#Everton #UTFT #Tottenham #Spurs
The polls suggest the British press is seriously out of sync with how most ordinary decent people regard Israel and America’s bloody ‘war on a whim.’
