Sorry for anyone affected by the violence in the Middle East and that sympathy extends to Isabel Oakeshott and her family.

Perhaps this experience will help her reflect on the fear and suffering of millions of people who suffer far far worse and are obliged to flee famine and war.

Can anyone translate this for me?

Iran strikes were launched without approval from Congress, deeply dividing lawmakers Top lawmakers were notified about the operation shortly before it was launched, but the White House did not seek authorization from Congress to carry out the strikes.

The spin from MAGA on Iran, just like it was with Venezuela, is that these are “bad guys.” But the issues are much simpler: (1) we have no plan, no congressional authorization, only the feeding of a madman’s lust for chaos and destruction. (1/3)

Premier jour du voyage des hypokhâgneux de Louis-le-Grand en Sicile… Voyager dans l’épaisseur du temps et (re)découvrir la majesté de Ségeste. Trente-six colonnes doriques debout dans le vent, sans toit, sans dieu installé, offerts au ciel comme une question restée sans réponse… (1/2)

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

3 American soldiers have now been killed because the president wants you to stop thinking about all the children he raped.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Also I am very old I suppose you would laugh at anything I say because of that? Life teaches you many things.

We are all entitled to an opinion I think he is doing well in the chaos left him.

Auto correct is the bane of may life: I often appear more aged than indeed I am! Have a lovely evening.😊

One thing I never do is put myself down Age has taught me that!

Well I am a life long Lib?Dem, Too old to change. Ed Davey is a good leader.

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable”

Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

Another I cannot bear to watch.

Why is this paper still going? A comic at best but it doesn't make me laugh, just cringe.

Or 'tax avoiders'?

I think you mean “panicking immigrants” Ms Oakshott?

He has a bearing of a grown up: so unlike the array we have had over the last few years. I am not a Labour voter but I admire his sense of integrity: he is working hard.

What a fantastic PM we have right now. He and his government are doing brilliant things to improve our country.

It is time people woke up and realise this before they lose it - rather than believing the lies the extreme left and right keep sharing about him.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corp has named Ahmad Vahidi as its a new commander in chief.
