Trump and Hegseth have everything figured out. We got strategic geniuses running this operation.

NICK CANDY: Why - even as missiles fly over my head -| feel safer in Dubai than in Sadiq Khan's London.... There's more chance of getting stabbed on the capital's street than of being injured in an Iranian attack in the UAE

Proof once again that you can have lots and lots and lots of money and still be thicker than a whale omelette stuck in a submarine door.

Want to stop Farage with your vote? At the moment you can’t – and Starmer must fix that | Polly Toynbee The PM’s in-tray is overflowing. But he can’t afford to neglect the real issue that is distorting our politics and the way we live, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

“The FPTP voting system was the fortress sustaining the old parties, but “small” parties have stormed the walls. YouGov finds that Farage could become PM on a 23% vote. Voting has become a fruit machine with random results when tiny shifts bring cascading seats”

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

GB News loses £22m, taking their total losses to over £130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.

I really like both of them. I wish they would be future candidates for president and vice president, regardless of which is which.

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield — Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

The Texas Senate primary is a battle for the Democratic Party's soul. James Talarico is a "choir boy." Jasmine Crockett is a "street fighter." Their race will set the tone for the midterms clash to come.

If you're not paying attention to the Texas Senate primary, you should be. It could decide the fate of the Democratic Party.

It's between two Democratic rising stars who couldn't be more different than each other: Reps. James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett. 1/3 🧵

I must apologise for Richard Stupid Tice not understanding that no gas or oil is ‘our own’ because Maggie Thatcher sold it off, so it is all sold by private companies on the global market. Norway did not sell theirs off and now have a sovereign wealth fund of £1.6trillion.

International Law is what sprang from that war you're obsessed with Nigel.

The one you think was all Victor Comics and Where Eagles Dare.

The one - like pretty much everything in history whose important legacy you singularly fail to understand

INDEPENDENT Voices Nigel Farage: Why you should vote for Brexit this Thursday I believe we're big enough and good enough to govern our own country. If we Remain, we'll get swept up into a United States of Europe Nigel Farage Monday 20 June 2016 10:53 BST

INDEPENDENT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world 'better, safer place' 03:08 Sophie Thompson Saturday 09 November 2024 15:56 GMT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world better, safer place' Nigel Farage has insisted Donald Trump becoming president for a belated second term will help make the world a "better, safer place". The Reform UK leader has been vocal of his friendship with Trump, and even received a shoutout from the Republican during a recent rally. This weekend, Reform UK are having a conference in Exeter, where Mr Farage remarked: "We can say with some confidence that 'woke' just died in America. "Trump being there makes the world a better, safer place."

BADLY WRONG about Brexit.
It’s cost the UK economy alone circa £130bn.

BADLY WRONG about Trump.
Attacked more countries of any modern President.

Farage clearly has incredibly poor judgement, yet the mainstream media, ironically, constantly question Starmer’s.

"The Peace President."

A position apparently too nuanced for many British politicians & pundits.

'This is not Churchill we're dealing with'

Trump hits out at Starmer again over PM's initial response to Iran war

'By the way, I'm not happy with the UK either’ he said in the Oval Office

TOUGH. UK we will only engage British armed forces when there's a legal basis to do so

I get the strong sense that the bulk of media are calling Starmer's position on Iran entirely wrongly right now. I simply don't believe that most people out there are either as hawkish as the Tories or as anti-everything as the Greens. Being conflicted in the middle seems about right to me.

UK journo hacks are such a tiring bunch of arseholes, just waiting to get their moment. Not explaining, debating, or reporting anything.
#UKMedia

Yup

It's right to say Starmer's no Churchill. For one thing, Sir Keir's never likely to be one tailor's bill away from bankruptcy and need bailing out by a shady Austrian financier.

(true story)

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

I was just thinking that we didn’t have enough enemies.
