I'll remind you that, just this weekend, Daniel Hannan was whining that Britain not joining in with the most ill-planned, wasteful, destructive, and ineffective U.S. military operation in decades was a surrender 'worse than Suez, if not the fall of Singapore.'

The war that is not a war that is just getting started and might last until September is pretty much done and we’re also going to seize a strait we don’t control and maybe kill more leaders if we don’t like them

Farage has always fairly heavily overplayed his personal ties to Trump, but this one must kinda sting, given he's likely to take a domestic political hit trying to stay in with his position on Iran.

"We have suffered our worst national humiliation since the Suez debacle, if not the fall of Singapore."

Good grief. Get a grip, Daniel.

Why on Earth would anyone want Britain to become party to this?

The Iran war is the most chaotically conducted U.S. military intervention I've witnessed in my lifetime.

I don't think destroying a nation's sources of water and fuel are going to motivate its people to rise up against its government, though they might turn around in anger against those who did it.

Under Austria's party leadership election system where candidates usually run unopposed, one would hope for Saddam Hussein-like numbers, but given the state of the Social Democratic Party, 81.51 percent is about 10 percentage points more than I thought Babler might win.

Andreas Babler was re-elected leader of the Social Democratic Party at a party congress today with 81.51 percent of the vote, a better-than-expected result for the embattled vice-chancellor.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

Sir Chris Whitty: Relying on weight-loss drugs to stop obesity would be 'societal failure' England's top doctor says the drugs should be for a minority and more effort is needed to prevent obesity in the first place.

We've developed a wonder drug that allows people who struggle to do so to lose weight and completely transform their lives, yet certain medical professionals want to ration it as if the overweight should wear hair shirts and suffer as they try in vain to shed the pounds the old-fashioned way.

Daily Express Nigel Farage is flying out to Donald Trump to save British base from 'loser' Starmer Farage is heading to Mar-a-Lago on Friday to reinforce the anti-Chagos deal message directly with Donald Trump, as the US president's open contempt for Sir Keir Starmer puts the controversial islands deal in serious jeopardy. The Reform UK leader revealed the dinner plans at Guido Fawkes' Save Chagos Boat Party, where he painted an increasingly optimistic picture of the campaign to kill the agreement. "President Trump has almost understood the deal, but I will be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and we will reinforce the message," he told the gathering. Farage pulled no punches in his assessment of the Mauritius agreement, calling it "the worst deal in history" and "an absolute betrayal." He urged supporters to keep up the pressure, saying: "We have got to keep fighting, we have got to keep the pressure up, we must not let our foot off this pedal, but for first time in this battle... this feels more than winnable."

His patriotism knows no bounds

Qatar's energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could "bring down the economies of the world", predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel. Saad al-Kaabi told the FT that even if the war ended immediately it would take Qatar "weeks to months" to return to a normal cycle of deliveries following an Iranian drone strike at its largest liquefied natural gas plant. Qatar, the world's second-largest producer of LNG, was forced to declare force majeure this week after the strike at its Ras Lattan plant. While Qatar only exports a small proportion of its gas to Europe, the energy minister said the continent would feel significant pain as Asian buyers outbid Europeans for whatever gas is available on the market, and as other Gulf countries find themselves unable to meet their contractual obligations.

The Iran War could “bring down the economies of the world”, Qatar’s Energy Minister tells the FT.

How War in Iran Is Colliding With Trump’s Economic Priorities A promise to steady the economy helped the president win voters in 2024. The attack on Iran could undermine that support, months before the midterms.
