The 47-53 vote on a war powers resolution introduced by Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine broke largely along party lines. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to vote against the measure, while Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only member of the Republican majority to support the resolution.

Senate votes down resolution to prevent Trump from continuing war with Iran

Could be Keir Starmer ...

GB News has lost £131.5m to date Cumulative losses in £

Keep not watching GB News guys... it's lost £131.5m to date but I'm sure it can do a lot worse than that.

Reminder — 23 years ago, just before the Iraq War began, Keir Starmer QC wrote in the Guardian challenging the legality and morality of the invasion. That article made him persona non grata with Blair. #UKPolitics

AF "You’re living in a place where you can face 2 years in prison & a fine of £40k if the authorities don’t like what you post on social media”

Oakeshott: “I have no issue with the authorities here…”

AF: “And if Starmer introduced that law?”

Oakshott: "I don't care about freedom of speech"

This is absolutely brilliant 👏

BREAKING: DOJ confirms that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed, per The Independent.

I see the Scottish nats are going tonto about Joani Reid saying she knew nothing about her husband allegedly spying for China, ahem the leader of their party apparently didn't know her husband was at it with the parties credit card, knew nothing about the new SMEG or campervan.😏

Which of these is he not?

This is also good....
Wouldn't get that with "independence".

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I mean he's glib and populist. He pretends there are easy solutions to difficult problems.

He's also a LibDem pretending to be a Corbynite pretending to be Green.

Then it's time for another.

And, as I said, on the evidence of that poll, independence is never going to happen.

So what's the point of more SNP obsession with the constitution when you could have a decent government of sensible people?

The Eye has it ....

You cant run an economy on snake oil.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

Ofcom failing again

She is beyond bad and I don’t see how Traditional Tory voters in the shires would like that behaviour in the middle of a national emergency

Badenoch says Labour MPs are "orcs and goons" with "no idea"

Starmer: "Moments like this define the Leader of the Opposition. They can either step up, act in the national interest... or they can expose their utter irrelevance. She has chosen the second"

I have just held a call with President Pedro Sánchez to express the EU’s full solidarity with Spain.

The EU will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.

BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has said 'she is not part of her husband's business activities' after he was arrested on suspicion of spying for China

🗣️ 'I have never been to China. I have never spoken on China or China related matters in the Commons'

Keir Starmer hits back at Trump's suggestion he's ruined special relationship Keir Starmer has hit back at suggestions that he is ruining the UK-US relationship, following pointed comments from Donald Trump.

A perfect explanation of what the special relationship actually is 👏

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.

Make Armageddon Great Again 😬

100+ Complaints From Troops Over 'Divine Plan' Rhetoric Service members allege commanders are framing Iran conflict as biblically ordained battle

Well this is disturbing. I for one am not in favor of Armageddon.

Starmer, quite rightly, handed Badenoch her sandwiches wrapped in a road map.
She's ill informed, spiteful and thankfully, not our government during Trump's war.
