seems the world has stopped turning - except for Trump's war. BBC, Sky News, Reuters, stuff us full of unwanted facts about US, Israel attacking Iran, Lebanon, Iran firing on Israel and US bases. Just let them get on with it. It is not exciting news - it is pitifulπŸ˜’

Trump's threats to Carney and Canada are not empty threats. If Donald Trump ever invades his neighbour Canada, a lesson how the Russians got rid of Hitler out of their country and finished him off

Three US service members killed in Iran operation as Israeli rescuers say nine dead in Iran strike The IDF says it has launched another wave of strikes on Tehran, while casualties are reported in the UAE and Kuwait after Iran's retaliatory attacks.

how does that measure up to the 50 Iranian schoolkids they murdered?

how much trouble, mayhem has Donald Trump caused barely a year since his presidency began? In his own country with killings, mass deportations, withholding funds to states, tariffs that his own citizens have to pay, using US might to attack oil rich countries, coveting countries he sees as weakπŸ«…

very true. IMO for those who still have issues with whatever or whoever it was, finding forgiveness too hard a word, if we can say we are moving on and no longer attach ourselves to it, and leave it behind us, letting it go

How to ruin a political party: put the wrong person in charge; lie to voters, election promises worth nothing; imprison people for protesting against genocide; aid & abet Israel's rampage through MiddleEast; suck up to Trump with nothing in return; abandon the principles the party has stood for.

Chris Mason: Green Party win will prompt soul searching within Labour and questions for Starmer The prime minister is facing questions about whether Labour's focus on Reform left them exposed among some of their regular supporters.

Starmer #ClingingToHisJob

IMO the mess Labour made for themselves will only go on. Anyone stepping into Starmer's shoes will only inherit the downward spiral. A party focussed on "power" abandoning policy and principles. #NumptyParty

so many churches no longer use the organ. It is is discarded through costs. Church members say it is too expensive to hire an organist but fail to explore all the free or affordable options. These days it is easier to use a mobile phone or ipad recording instead of outreach to local community

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

IMO this was always coming. #TrumptheGangster will declare emergency to avoid elections πŸ˜‘

Mandelson was a spy as well as an abuser of his power. He spied on UK Government passing information to Epstein and maybe others, who in turn passed that information on to foreign governments. Starmer was too ready to let others make decisions for him, a man unsure of himselfπŸ€”

Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office The Metropolitan Police says a 72-year-old man has been released on bail pending further investigation.

News media report Mandelson's arrest and bail. Seems the only one still addressing him as "Lord" is the BBC. Must be someone there who still likes him🀨 #LordoftheSpies

πŸ€”Why is there no media coverage of Peter Mandelson, the paedophile, the spy, the manipulator, the one who thoughtfully used his influence to place Andrew Windsor as a trade envoy? Why has he escaped scrutiny? Why are UK media no longer interested? Seems a crooked MP is more powerful than a prince

Reform’s leader in Scotland has called for a β€œdialogue” on introducing patient charges & moving away from a purely tax-funded NHS model. He also believes in private companies delivering more services.

The SNP will always protect our NHS & its founding principles. πŸ‘‡
