Farage has always been a Putin apologist, he fits it in between hero worship of Trump. Putin has started a war, threatens NATO countries, cuts oil pipelines and has opponents killed. All in Europe where we live and Farage is full of shit.

US MILITARY SAYS IT HAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED A BRANCH OF TEHRAN FRIED CHICKEN USED BY THE IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS, SOME FRIED CHICKEN DESTROYED - STATEMENT
Tanker captains in Persian Gulf looking for help from the Board of Peace be like:
Whatever they may say, they’re running out of targets
Though it doesnt have to go into global market. You could license gas on terms that offtake must be used to supply UK power generation on medium term contracts. Query whether anyone would invest on that basis however.
But Trump says this is fine
I suspect it’s also for operational security!
Interesting chart from today’s FT
🤦
I see the war of choice against Iran is going according to Trump's excellent and perfect plan. Which is why he has now proceeded from requesting, to demanding and now threatening allies with consequences.
The last scenario being the most likely
Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’.

Every day, a new threat and a new disgrace.
We can not rely on this man or his ideological successors for our security.

A flight taken by the FT over the estate (owned by Viktor Orban’s father) revealed what the roadside hides: carefully manicured gardens; pools cut into the sprawling grounds; a palm house and a chapel; and a grand main building with gleaming wings

An incoming Reform government would "focus on making change via executive orders rather than legislation, where possible"

It’s going to be Albania, Azerbaijan and some other Board of Peace folks right?
Right?
Wont be needing Chinese or European help in the Straits then
You won’t be needing Chinese, French or British help then, Mike old son
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.
How to get richer mostly
Quite
Do Americans have a clue as to how perceptions of and feelings about the US have been affected by Trump 2.0 i wonder
For me it’s a little like losing a close friend - with the realisation that maybe you didn’t know them at all
Some people really wanted us to believe that he was blocking the seizure of Russian assets because of sincere concerns over legal proprieties
I know
I am unclear as to why anyone thinks Piers Morgan’s views on the US/Iran war are of any interest
For all the excitement around Rachel Reeves talking about the EU, this government's position hasn't changed, this current package of negotiations is mostly the limit given Brussels isn't overly tempted to offer much more. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
