GBNews is most certainly a political body, a propaganda operation which is willing to lose Β£22 million a year pursuing its function of influencing public opinion.
Thatβs what itβs there to do, and there is no reasonable excuse for it having the legal status of a bona fide broadcasting company.
Crystal clear clarity from @davidhoneyford.bsky.social during the debate to open an EU office in Belfast.
"Northern Ireland growth is 2.8% the rest of the UK is 1.3%.....the reason is because we have access to EU Markets".
It's interesting how suddenly the EU is being seen as a shield against the military power of the US. It was never expected or intended to be that, and at the moment it doesn't have the capacity to play that role, but it may need to develop such capacity quite quickly.

False dichotomy and wishful thinking here from Sunak. The idea that UK involvement would have significantly changed Trump and Netanyahu's approach, or reduced the consequences for the UK, is laughable. More thoughtful than Johnson, but with the same simplistic vanity, the desire to feel in control.

COMMENTARY: Iran War Blurs the Line Between Religion and the Constitution
Military commanders are reportedly speaking about the Iran offensive as if it's a Christian crusade.
For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

This is nuts
US Troops told :
"Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth"
"All part of Godβs divine plan"
"The imminent return of Jesus Christ"
"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."
