I really dont get this lad - trying to be Mr Tough Guy? I throw out refugees and refuse to talk to the mothers of kids lost in explosions? All seems performative with him

Inside the plan to kill Ali Khamenei Israel spent years hacking Tehran’s traffic cameras and monitoring bodyguards ahead of the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader

I thought this was the kind of thing that only happens on TV shows:

"Nearly all the traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked for years, their images encrypted and transmitted to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel, according to two people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/bf99...

I've never even seen The Black Stuff - but the sequel and Auf Widersen Pet are standout shows from that time

A cheeky news title could legit run with 'Gov won't rule out congestion charges for Dublin' - and see how fast the call comes in from his press office....

Spain upholding international law - it really shouldn't be that difficult. And what's Trump gonna do? Threaten then with Tarriffs - for the 407th time ?

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a VideoΒ Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

Weird that our best hope right now is that Trump does one of his traditional "OK - This Seems to Be Unpopular So We're Gonna Declare Victory and Go Right Back to Where We Started - Except with 100s of People Dead. For no reason'

Once again - instead of just sending a couple of lads to Amsterdam or Munich to see what they did there 20 years ago - we must blindly fumble towards a solution to a problem that NO OTHER BIG CITY HAS EVER FACED

Has he considered not shelving rail projects? Not cutting funding for expansion of public transport could be worth looking at too.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

Spain to check Gibraltar arrivals under post-Brexit border deal Arrivals at the Rock's airport would have to show their passport twice under a new UK-EU treaty.

Had missed this - but one 'part of the UK' is rejoining the EU customs union, because it would be incredibly stupid and self-defeating not to..... bbc.com/news/article...
