Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper: ‘Making decisions based on what the US do or say doesn’t feel like sensible foreign policy’ Firing Peter Mandelson, convening with Marco Rubio – then handling the fallout of conflict in the Middle East… it’s been a busy time for the secretary of state, and our writer has had a ringside seat

The blue slither is Reform MPs.

98.8% of MPs are not Reform

Can someone tell BBC News and BBC Question Time please?

Reform and the Conservatives are happy to cheer on Trump’s illegal Iran war that could send your energy bills soaring.

We are facing an energy crisis.
Britain is the worst exposed in
Europe with only 2 days gas
supply stored.
If only we had our own gas to
exploit.
Or our own oil.
Or our own coal....

If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

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!

History lesson.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

In Rome for the game. England fans on the flight not bullish about our chances. Italy gave France a battle until the last 10 mins when down to 14. Looking forward to the match

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

Good grief. I’m not sure she’s thought this through. Unless, of course, she actively *wants* allies & enemies to believe that she would happily order the British military to commit war crimes.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

Match Preview: Beat Forest and Brighton can cut free of bottom four Brighton can put some big distance between themselves and the bottom four, moving 10 points clear if they beat Nottingham Forest

Victory over Nottingham Forest will put Brighton 10 points clear of the bottom four. Defeat would see #BHAFC pulled within four points of 17th

Post Brexit my faith has similarly been crushed. Let’s hope that the electorate don’t believe the hype which is Farage and the failed Tories of Reform

I’m afraid to say that ‘non-existent’ is optimistic. A General Election is not the same as one by-election. Much more work needs to be done to keep Reform away from power

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped.
Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

Greens now have 5 MPs.

Reform has 8 - but four of those are Tory defections who were not elected on a REF ticket..

Bet Jenrick and Braverman are feeling a little sick this morning.
