All the classic BBC tropes here:
βœ… complex issue presented as a difference of opinion btw politicians
βœ… everything important only in terms of the fortunes of UK parties
βœ… spectrum of acknowledged opinion from centre to far right
βœ… numbers deployed to actively obscure real understanding of the issue

Despise the FA too, they should be supporting us directly. It's a massive devaluation of the cup

The beautiful, poignant story behind Crystal Palace's tifo at yesterday's FA Cup Final. This is what football is all about!

Major Reform U.K. Donor Sold Weapons Parts to Russian Supplier The aerospace company H.R. Smith Group was an early backer of the party after Nigel Farage became leader. Reform has faced criticism over comments seen as supporting Moscow.

Terrific reporting by @nytimes.com. Shame the British media can’t expose this for themselves. Will only fuel suspicion that Farage and his Brexit gang are - and have always been - a Putinist front

One of the biggest corporate donors to the populist Reform U.K. party has sold almost $2 million worth of transmitters, cockpit equipment, antennas and other sensitive technology to a major supplier of Moscow’s blacklisted state weapons agency, documents show.

From 2023 to 2024, the company, part of the British aerospace manufacturer H.R. Smith Group, shipped the equipment to an Indian firm that is the biggest trading partner of the Russian arms agency, Rosoboronexport.

H.R. Smith Group donated 100,000 pounds (just under $130,000) to Reform U.K. last year, two days after Nigel Farage was announced as the party’s leader. The company is run by Richard Smith, a businessman who owns 55 Tufton Street, a Westminster townhouse that is home to some of Britain’s most influential right-wing lobbying and research groups.

The core argument here is unanswerable. For liberal democratic countries, buying American weapons is a security risk. It must be avoided at all costs.

From Rasmus Jarlow, Danish politician: "I don't know if there is a kill switch in the F35's or not. We obviously can not take your word for it.

As one of the decision makers behind Denmark's purchase of F35's, I regret it.

The USA can certainly disable the planes by simple stopping the supply of spare parts. They want to strengthen Russia and weaken Europa and are showing that they are willing to do tremendous damage to peaceful and loyal allies like Canada just because they insist on existing as a country.

I can easily imagine a situation where the USA will demand Greenland from Denmark and will threaten to deactivate our weapons and let Russia attack us when we refuse (which we will even in that situation).

Therefore, buying American weapons is a security risk that we can not run. We will make enormous investments in air defence, fighter jets, artillery and other weapons in the coming years, and we must avoid American weapons if at all possible.

I encourage our allies and friends to do the same."

Happy Birthday, George Washington. Born today in 1732.

When he was sworn in as first US President he wore a plain brown suit, signalling his intention to be neither a king nor tyrant

When he willingly gave up the Presidency, George III called him the β€œgreatest character of the age”

If Google is going to go along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico I think we need to rename them.
