Donald Trump vs. Donald Trump.
A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
I still cant believe these idiots are running the country. Into the fucking ground.
When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.
Telling how confident Starmer now feels in owning his Iran decision. His best outing against Badenoch at PMQs in months. KB not alone in shifting her position. Many of those in the press and politics demanding war and condemning Starmer loudest have been far quieter since the inevitable chaos began.
Many British Airways customers will be disappointed that they've been advertising on this GB News online video suggesting that people racialised as non-White pose a genocidal threat to "White Brits": www.gbnews.com/shows/the-la...

Can we spread this single piece of information around a bit, not just on Bluesky. Send a paper printout to your grumpy old 'net zero will make us all poor' Uncle, or Auntie.
This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

A tax rise is a tax cut and being for the Iran War is being against the Iran War.
Welcome to the world of Nigel Farage - the charlatan's charlatan.
"Accompanied by Beatrice, Andrew ‘stayed on for private time’, attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It was all very nice apparently and he met up with people he hadn’t seen since his dinner with the bin Ladens."
🚨👀 Nigel Farage says Reform UK never promised to cut council tax. An election leaflet says otherwise...
EXC: Nigel Farage defends Reform-run Kent County Council increasing council tax by 3.99% despite election leaflets last year pledging to “reduce waste and cut your taxes”.
Mr Farage told ITV News Meridian: “Cutting taxes can be not putting them up as much, I suppose.”
“HIELANMAN'S UMBRELLA” should be a new law of journalism, which states that if AI generated photos are used in a news article, all reporting from that publication should be instantly distrusted.
"Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X..."
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
Screencap of a Krishnan Guru-Murthy tweet quoting a Donald Trump post on TruthSocial: KG-M: "Yesterday dinner with Farage. Today the salvo against Starmer." DT: "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
Trump is in Putin's pocket.
Farage is in Trump's pocket.
Let us not forget this when we're voting in 2029, eh?

Penny Mordaunt railing away about the state of UK armed forces without a hint of apology. She was a minister for most of the 14 years of Tory rule which witnessed the strangling of the UK's military capacity. And she was even defence secretary for 5 mins. #bbclaurak
We already know the winner in the war with Iran and that's Russia. The closure of the Straits of Hormuz has swung Russian crude from pariah to prized commodity. Urals oil price is the highest since right after the Ukraine invasion. Putin is loving this...

American president who purports to care about the safety and security of women and children let this monster go free
What this further confirms is that the Trump administration knows Russia is helping Iranians try to kill Americans, but is doing nothing to stop it. How about sanctions or more arms sales to Ukraine?
The world's most powerful superpower has gone rogue:
Hegseth: “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
There is something deeply, disturbingly wrong with this man.

There’s always a danger of embracing hyperbole when a moment is still unfolding but I do wonder whether, for many past admirers, Tony Blair has just destroyed every last vestige of the ‘legacy’ he cares so much about. Traditionally, Mandelson would now be advising him on how to turn things round…
was nine years old when a Labour government followed the US into an illegal war in Iraq, sold to the public on lies. Twenty-three years later, we're back on the streets opposing another Labour government and another illegal war - this time against Iran.
We have suffered our worst national humiliation since the Suez debacle, if not the fall of Singapore. This time, though, we lack the excuse of having been pressured by alies or attacked by foes. The decision to cower and plead neutrality even as Iranian proxies were lobbing ordnance at us was entirely our own. Sir Keir Starmer's pusillanimity has left us looking weak, needy and duplicitous. And all for what? Anxiety about anti-lsrael voters in constituencies like Gorton and Denton? Fear of crossing our human-rights obsessed Attorney General, Lord Hermer? Paywall down.
In a desperate attempt to make Trump and Netanyahu's war all about the UK government, you simultaneously have the Your Party tendency sowing a narrative that we're already fighting on America's side... and the Ladybird Libertarians calling it the greatest humiliation since the Fall of Singapore.
