"The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more." — Hegseth yesterday.

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

…

I agree with Rick Wilson 💯….

More relevant than ever.

Your Brexit made us irrelevant
Your Brexit ensured our isolation.
Your Premiership bought shame to our nation. Breaking international law and moral and ethical corruption.

This PM is giving us back our dignity, relevance and integrity.

Shame on you, you lying, putrid, bag of piss.

The reality?!?!😏

Where do I start?

Got to say, this is both an unedifying and an unimpressive performance from Kemi Badenoch at PMQs today. She's trying to pressure on Iran but it feels like she's entirely ignoring the answers to stick to a bizarre script. And giving Starmer free hits in the process.

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.

It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs

Isabel Oakeshott: anti-migration commentator, economic migrant to Dubai, possible future evacuee of the very British state she insists is broken.

Isn’t it funny how mobility becomes acceptable when it’s your own?

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Isabel Oakeshott: Economic Migrant, Tax Exile, Future Evacuee? The commentators who fled Britain for lower taxes have built careers sneering at the country they left - yet still rely on it when the world turns dangerous.

For those who don’t know. Isabel is the girlfriend of Reforms Richard Tice. An Islamophobe who bangs on about no go London, Sharia law, invasions etc

She moved to Dubai with her kids because she didn’t like paying tax & contributing to her country now it’s being bombed
@bearlypolitics.co.uk

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Daily Mail headline: IRAN WAR: DAY FOUR U.S. lambasts 'hand-wringing, pearl-clutching' Starmer as Kemi says he's 'scared' of his own voters

The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

The US expects Europe to solely fund military Ukraine because “it’s a war on another continent” whilst simultaneously expecting European allies to fully support and take part in American military action against Iran?

The arrogance and hypocrisy is on another level.

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".

Minnesota would like a word.

TY @tmel1219.bsky.social for this great post from Rep. Jason Crow! Re-election in 2026.

Any questions?

He’s a fucking embarrassment.
They use limited language and zero nuance
The whole administration is graceless, classless and tasteless

Currently trending on X.

What the child rapist president's war with Iran is revealing is — there is a level of denial and cognitive dissonance from the pedophile protection cult known as MAGA that surpasses anything we've previously seen from cults like the Peoples Temple and the Branch Davidians.

Reform's London Mayoral candidate now running on "disenfranchise + deport" policy re Commowealth

Yusuf would strip Commonwealth ILR (but treat European settled status differently)

Farage to strip voting rights from Commonwealth non-citizens (Treat Irish foreign nationals differently to Asians)

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

Whilst we're taking a break from kicking Goodwin whilst he's down, remember that Sam Coates is unsubtly becoming a very nasty piece of work whilst holding down a Political Editor job where he's just reporting his Legitimate Concerns.

Calling him Poundshop Peston feels unfair to Peston.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?
