US formally recognizes the government of Venezuela and its new president, Delcy Rodriguez, who is "doing a great job because she's working with us," according to President Trump. "If she wasn't working with us, I would not say she's doing a great job. We're taking out tremendous amounts of oil."

Exactly the propaganda coup Putin wanted.
Shame on the IPC for enabling this.
How was it influenced? 🤔

Trump’s ever-changing rationale for war on Iran – how the story has shifted Regime change, nuclear threat – or something else? US officials seem unable to land on one coherent reason for war

Here’s a timeline of Trump’s ever-changing rationale for starting a war on Iran.

Regime change, nuclear threat – or something else? US officials can’t come up with a coherent reason for war.

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

This is first class work from @catneilan.bsky.social

Yet another prime example of how regulation completely fails to stop fraudsters and scammers - and costs the public billions (in this case alone)

UPDATE: Now seen report that quick increases are because distributors of fuel hold stock & if it's low and demand increases, they up prices to forecourts - supply & demand/surge-pricing.
It's the market, but price-gouging.
Government should intervene.
Up energy profits levy to fund fuel duty cut?

More or Less - US-Israel war with Iran: Do the gulf states have enough interceptor missiles? - BBC Sounds What we know about missile stockpiles following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran

Listen to this BBC More of Less podcast on the stats for interceptor missiles being used by Gulf States, not the US stock www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The only strategy in the Iran war is from Israel.
Started with weakening Hezbollah last year.
Endgame for Bibi is saying 'I've eliminated the major threats to Israel, re-elect me & give me more power'.
Took time to get Trump on-board. Some kind of deals for Trump Org will be part of it.

Also, walking-back unrealistic goal set by Trump and not challenged by the Yes-people in the Cabinet.
So they have to reframe what 'Victory' would look like.

He started out exposing people who deserved it e.g.Max Clifford.
His intent lately seems more mixed.
The Israeli settler stuff is worthwhile.
AJ more brand-building & audience-expanding for the YouTube & TikTok age - asking questions designed to create clipable answers.
More about £ than journalism.
