Trump’s ego-trip war has collided with economic reality but he can’t undo the damage | Rafael Behr The US president’s doctrine of lawless military adventures harms American interests and boosts Vladimir Putin, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

On the absurdity of setting UK interests by a Trump doctrine when not even the US national interest is served by the president www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They are bizarrely currently the form team in the bottom 6.
The only problem with this is where was this Wolves team 20 games ago??

As an AV fan, just relieved to have amassed points early enough not to be sucked into the melee as our current trajectory is not great…
Spurs plight does remind me of when Villa were last circling the plug hole for 2 seasons..

Yes not a 9, but an extremely effective RF who drifts across the line
Some fans use striker as a generic term for forward now it seems.
There are a dearth of true 9’s in the game currently (especially English) Solanke is a rare example!

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

4D chess: appointing a leader who is already dead so Israel can't kill him.

Can’t see how they can allow him to carry on with after that, ludicrous as it is to
change a manager after 4
games..
Which Spurs fan realised the Levy era were the halcyon days?

WATCH: Nigel Farage and Robert
Jenrick change fuel prices in Buxton at
a Reform UK petrol station


They have pledged to reinstate the 5p
fuel duty cut in their first Budget

Farage and Jenrick pull a stunt in Buxton in protest at the fuel prices which are going up - on account of a war they both back - started by a man Farage flew thousands of miles to "have dinner with" only for said man to decide he was busy.

So much dignity going on.

He’s not anywhere near Bowen on current form..even Wolves look a more threatening side..

Feels like they are the side most currently in danger of a death spiral with morale getting lower every 90 minutes via the appointment of a manager completely out of his depth.

100% record.

4 losses from 4…

It’s the perfect storm of (not) too good to go down; and no longer are there three worse sides to prevent this from happening.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

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.

Starmer needs to sack him.
Looked like he sent to wield the knife, turns out he’s likely to fall on his sword.

Shame we’ll never get to see Starmer on a wooden soapbox megaphone in hand on his ‘back to basics’ campaign.

FIVE MONTHS. TWO NEW PMs. WE CAN DO THIS

Quite something when a senior figure has calculated even a leaderless Party is preferable to one with Starmer.

The journalistic moral obligation to ‘speak truth to power’ appears to be on pause.
