When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

This is disgusting. Risking lives for their own selfish greed. I despise those people so much...and the feeling is growing.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

Nigel Farage is celebrating Reform UK shady donations, whilst jetting off to Washington.

On the day MPs head to their constituency to do the job they were elected to do.

And of course the interpreter that he is disparaging just happens to be a woman.

So Nigel Farage who the right wing media tout as the next British PM, is meeting Donald Trump today at his holiday club to undermine and work against the present elected British Prime Minister?

Donald Trump is the POTUS of a hostile nation. Trump wants to hurt this country.

This is who Farage is.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Calvin Bailey MP: "As a former Wing Commander, I can tell you, our brave RAF pilots are not just “hanging around” when they put their lives at risk to save others. The words you’re looking for Kemi Badenoch are ‘Thank you’

Serious times require serious politicians and you’ve just failed the test."

Kemi Badenoch accused of insulting armed forces for saying RAF 'hanging around' in the Middle East The Tory leader said British forces needed to stop Iranian missiles being launched rather than just intercepting them.

If you ever had any doubt about the political ineptitude of Kemi Badenoch then her interventions on Iran should surely settle your mind

It does not matter what words they use to describe their actions to illegally avoid Congressional approval. If people are attacked and killed by the United States military -> IT IS A WAR.

When Hegseth talks about it, you can tell he sees it as a big game or a movie, he’s as excited as a teenage boy.

Today parents in Iran buried 165 children killed in the attack on a girls’ primary school by the United States and Israel.

From Gaza to Iran, this is what “liberation” by the West looks like.

Every time he opens his stupid mouth, I’m incredulous how anyone of sane mind could have thought he was worth their precious vote.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
