Take back control, they said.

Free us from the tyranny of the EU, they said.

And now they are calling for us to be shackled to the Trump regime; else we’ll be a piffling irrelevance.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

"Another crushing blow for Starmer...winning a seat back from Reform is surely another blow, the Prime Minister can ill afford..."

Iran is also, roughly, three times larger than Ukraine

Anyone who thinks Iran will surrender in three days is a bigger moron than Putin.
The length of the conflict will depend largely on the will of the Iranian people. Many Iranians resent their government, but decades of sanctions, memories of intervention and exploitation also created hatred toward US

They’ll do this smear campaign to every country if they don’t go all in for trumps war. Trump will do something to force NATO to have to join. You watch. This man wants & will not stop until he has his WWIII. I too live in Europe & yes the Trump Admin is a ship of fools that’s laughed at. It’s sad,

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

BREAKING: The national average price of diesel has seen its largest single day price increase ever recorded- rising 22.3c/gal today, beating the previous largest daily rise of 22.2c/gal on 3/4/22, according to GasBuddy data. The average for diesel is up 71.4c/gal vs a week ago.

Trump demands "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" from Iran It's the most unambiguous statement of U.S. war aims since the operation began seven days ago.

Today's reminder that securing unconditional surrender from Nazi Germany, a country of 79 million people, took the United States 3 1/2 years, 250,000 deaths in theater, and 46 allies, including the UK and USSR. Iran has 92 million people, and Israel is the only US ally. www.axios.com/2026/03/06/t...

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Amazing that once again the major beneficiary from the US-initiated crisis in the middle east is Putin.

The Daily Mail self-describes in its headline

They might think that they are patriotic, but The Daily Mail and The Sun are actually traitors

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.

Oil soars amid Strait of Hormuz shipping fears as Iran war drives prices to nearly $80 The conflict in the Middle East has sent oil prices soaring, as Brent Crude hit a new 52-week high on Monday.

There has never been a better reason to accelerate renewables in the UK. Putin is benefiting from higher prices and supply which is why Farage is anti wind and solar

No problem. She did about an hour or so after I asked. Nice photos on here

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".
