I deeply disagree.
If they don’t match, work peacefully to ensure they match, but with full respect to the law.

Trade is not just economics.

Almost 2/3 of global growth is happening outside of the US and China.

Vast parts of the world are looking for stability and trusted partners.

And this is our European offer.

We must continue to seize these opportunities, putting our interests front and centre.

Today @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu and I had a VTC with Leaders of Middle East countries on the latest developments of the war in Iran.

We are working together to bring back peace and stability.

The EU is committed to partnership, security & prosperity in the region.

The fuel duty is frozen since 2010…. then it was reduced by Sunak and only partially reversed.

during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof

Is media allowed in Gaza?

And are we sure journalists are protected in the Occupied Palestinian Territories?

Or are they beaten up by Israeli forces?

Make no mistake: Israel wants our cost of living to go up and people around the world to go hungry as prices for oil, gas and fertilisers needed in agriculture go up.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…

Can we STOP with this β€˜special relationship’ BS

And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

As some poor countries will not have gas, they will not be able to manufacture fertilisers as well so agriculture output will fall sharply.

So many people in the world will go hungry.

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.

A couple of years ago the Conservatives turned down an opportunity to build a huge electricity cable to Morocco - to bring solar & wind power on dark winter evenings* - which would have substantially reduced the UK's reliance on fossil fuels - and helped to protect us.

They turned it down.

Europe rallies around Cyprus during Iran war as Macron visits to show support for island French President Emmanuel Macron is traveling to Cyprus.

Meanwhile Cypriot leaders question whether UK bases should remain in Cyprus after criticisms over lack of protection from Iran conflict and whether they make Cyprus more of a target.

'Mob rule' fears over Wigan town centre yobs causing havoc A range of businesses in Wigan town centre have said antisocial behaviour has become a real issue.

The mob rule of teenagers in U.K. towns and cities are a nightmare.

Yet the BBC minimises the issues.

Imagine a similar abuse against Farage.

The BBC would have provided hours upon hours of coverage and analysis.

But now?

Eastern Europe has suffered two generation of Moscow communist occupation post WW2, destroying their economies and societies.

But the EU gave them the ability to grow back faster again.

And what Britain did in 2016? Tried to kick them in the face but in the end it shoot itself in the foot.

So not only the US has imposed tariffs, now is pushing energy prices up and maybe some countries will not be able to get the gas necessary for fertilisers.

Russia will win big as well.

And millions of poor people around the world will go hungry.

This is a global war crime.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

As we ”celebrate” 10 years since #Brexit, since 2016, the cumulative GDP/ capita growth in U.K. was just 4%.

By comparison in Romania was 55%.
