Utterly baffling briefing just now with Kemi Badenoch’s spokesman in which he repeatedly insists that β€œwe’re in the war” with Iran and that she supports it, while simultaneously denying she ever said she wants to join the war she thinks we're already in

Farage accused of U turn as he says UK should stay out of Iran war

Farage accused of U turn as he says UK should stay out of Iran war

Farage, leading, as usual, by watching which way the crowd is moving and running to the front.

New Origin Story, on an absolute unqualified piece of Nazi shit, who is as close to the brains of the Trump operation as it gets.

I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian β€˜adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

I wrote this piece just five days ago - predicting Trump would walk away and leave everyone else to clear up his mess ….and here we are - concluding extract below:

I cannot believe that the Whitehouse says "It doesn't really matter " that Russia is helping Iran target US military personnel. Is there anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, that Putin can do where Donald Trump will criticise him?
He would rather see US troops die than upset his boss!😑😑

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraine’s weapons.

Can someone explain to me why Trump is not concerned that Russia is aiding Iran? There is something wrong with this picture.

Sizewell C is predicted to cost Β£38 billion.

For the same amount of money, you could install solar panels, heat pumps and batteries in 3 million homes.

That would generate energy locally, rather than put massive strains on an already overloaded grid.

Makes you think.
