Mary Trump: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
The way much of the media is, or rather is not, reporting the mess I doubt much of the electorate realises the u-turns Badenoch and Farage have made about going to war with Iran.
Keir Starmer attacks Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for “screeching u-turn” on US intervention in Iran.
“If she were Prime Minister… we would be in the war, and she would be coming back to Parliament a week later to say, oh, sorry, I got that one wrong.”

And she’s noticeably blushing at her u-turn or reverse ferreting as James O’Brien calls it. The PM is walking all over her.
She might be topping this @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
Starmer turning the screw over Badenoch's claim she never wanted the UK to join US/Israeli invasion of Iran
"She & the Reform leader have been spooked, because they’ve realised they jumped into supporting a war without considering the consequences, and now she’s furiously trying to backpedal."
And she’s noticeably blushing at her u-turn or reverse ferreting as James O’Brien calls it. The PM is walking all over her.
Yes she could have asked how many Brits are still awaiting to leave the Gulf region, what will be the role of the navy ships going into the Med, are their any consequences of our forces and equipment going to the Gulf upon the Ukraine and Greenland missions etc.
Lazy journalism from Emma Barnett this am asking repeated questions to Darren Jones to which we have known the answers for over a week and then asking him about Mandelson papers to which she knows he wouldn't answer.
Kemi Badenoch is denying calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran.

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.
Here's what has happened since then to public opinion
"He lies and then he lies again!"
Donald Trump has denied responsibility for the destruction of a primary school in Iran.
But @mrjamesob.bsky.social thinks he's spotted a contradiction in the President's latest statements...
Good.

Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
Tony Blair on the Board of Peace wanting the UK to go to war. Hypocrite!
It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called ‘patriots’ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love
This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.
Full marks to Channel 4 for making Dirty Business. Everyone should watch it and reflect.
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.
