Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life โ€” as E. Jean Carroll can attest

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

After Trump announces the US will cut off all trade with Spain, Prime Minister Sanchez says: 'The position of the government of Spain can be summed up in four words: no to war [no a la guerra].'

I'm with Spain.

China will buy more oil from Russia owing to the Iran war.

The price of Urals crude oil is rocketing.

Supplies of weapons to Ukraine are constrained by the Iran war.

Putin must think all his Christmases have arrived at once.

Al Jazeera investigation: Iran girlsโ€™ school targeting likely โ€˜deliberateโ€™ Al Jazeera investigation raises questions over deadliest single attack of war that killed 165 schoolgirls and staff.

Is it possible that the tragic destruction of Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Tehran could be an example of AI led intelligence getting it wrong (and humans acted on flawed data)?

It was formerly a military barracks until 10 years ago.

Trump says he is "going to cut off all trade" with Spain, adding he has told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to "cut off all dealings".

He is deranged.

Russiaโ€™s Urals crude was at a new last month at $40 per barrel because of discounts caused by Western sanctions.

But the price of Brent crude has jumped by 13 percent reaching $82 per barrel, and now Urals oil is trading at $57.

This is possibly the sloppiest AI-generated slopaganda video I've seen yet from the Iranians. Marvel at the firefighters ineffectually spraying their own truck! Gasp at the crowd of onlookers looking in the wrong direction!

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic.

Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative.

The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!
