“Yesterday Trump was, even by his own standards, the most rambling, downbeat and punctured I've seen him in years.”
Is calling the Iran war 'very much complete' - moments after oil prices spiked - Trump beginning to panic that his war has backfired?
everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true
Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
FT exclusive:
Russia has shared targeting intelligence with Iran, including locations of American military assets in the Middle East, as Tehran unleashes a barrage of drone and missile strikes against the US and its allies, said people familiar with the matter.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".
Farage caught in another lie. A big one, despite being years ago, because it demolishes his "Origin Story" as a plucky anti-establishment figure. He's none of those things truly or by choice. That's why he delights at the reversal of Tories being under his control now.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!
Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
Our important work at Kent Council to spend £600k on a car park to provide free parking for Reform councillors while staff have to pay, is all part of our 'We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves' policy.
FFS vaccinate your children!
The UK is among several countries to lose elimination status for measles today, the WHO has said.
It comes following a sustained surge in cases and an increasing number of deaths.
Let's not forget that Reform had an anti-vaxer speaking at their conference last year...
Well this is disappointing from someone who claims to be different 🙄
I do wonder if Americans understand quite how insane he looks.
Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.
And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.
Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.
Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.

• tonight the White House says in a statement that President Trump ‘is discussing a range of options’ to acquire Greenland
• also - a senior US official has told Reuters Donald Trump would like to do this during his current term in office
The Venezuela strikes are wanton, dangerous, inhumane, illegal and stupid. But they are also not remotely “America First” nor in any way the “no more foreign wars” MAGA voters claimed they voted for. Will be interesting to see how they respond.
Renaming the Department of Defence and calling it the Department of War, and going on and on about “warrior ethos”, may have been a bit of a giveaway. FIFA Peace Prize or not.
What is the US Congress going to do about it
Reposting a few of my more popular Bluesky bits from this year, for those who missed them.
4. The Empathy Of Owls...
Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
FIFA, by the way, have been corrupt and terrible at what they do for as long as I (or most football fans) can remember. It's just been scaled up with this Trump/Infantino axis in line with the fact we live in a dystopian movie now.
Some nonsense from Sky - green energy is driving up bills? How about nuclear, it just added £1bn a year to our bills. We get no energy at all for that, it’s just to fund the 10 to 15 year construction phase - and then we get the most expensive electricity we’ve ever known.
Perfect 👌 as usual from @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚💚💚
And it's not over yet.
We call on Peers to reinsert this measure into the Bill when it comes back to them.
A future where nature and people thrive together is possible. We just need the Government to listen.

Unsurprised to hear any politics that looks to address inequalities, looks to centre the poorest in our societies, anything that challenges the unsustainable status quo, dismissed as 'radical socialism'.
Political analysis/commentary is pretty poor globally but in the UK it is in the sewer.
I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today.
Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...
Beginning to make George III look positively sane.
