This is cruel to the young people concerned, self-destructive for the UK and will not win over a single Reform voter.

Instead of seeing interviews with hard-hitting questions like "Are you looking forward to playing for Kent?" or "Are you disappointed about this winter?", lots of people are now seriously asking if they're covering up something major.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
There's so much to unpack in the words of the Israeli Defense Minister here... the use of "blood libel" to describe specific actions caught on camera by specific IDF soldiers, and his open admission that the IDF legal system is designed to protect IDF soldiers, not prosecute them where necessary.
But you provided cover for Israel to take out more of Lebanon on the excuse of tacklng Hezbollah
Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez is everything Keir Starmer and Labour are not:
"A wave of pride in being Spanish, not only within our country but also from many societies across the globe"
"Because we are synonymous with principles, values, and also results"

Weβve raised the alarm about how the new rise of Christian Nationalism, imported from the US, threatens the progress that generations of women fought so hard to secure. By seeking to impose religious dogma on public law, these movements endanger womenβs freedoms. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

thought the name rang a bell and though he's poshified himself - once upon a time he was "Craig Dillon" - I interviewed this guy back in 2019 as he was doing social media for MPs in a vaguely interesting way - crucially, he seemed entirely normal back then! yet another radicalisation case
This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.
But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter They said Farage had hoped he would be able to catch Trump for a conversation as the US president was scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that evening. However, Trump had a change in his itinerary and decided to stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s drive away The Reform leader's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders who famously formed a close friendship in the vears before and after the 2016
Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.
Any attempt at regime change is likely to repeat past mistakes

It turns out the U.S. did a βdouble tapβ attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girlsβ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.
Thatβs a war crime under international humanitarian law.
Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off Aprilβs state visit to the US.
A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
