Here Starmer is playing a dangerous game. He runs two risks: he knows that the Palestine Action ban may be in breach of international law; and he knows that many sympathetic to the protestors will desert Labour, weakening his government and playing into Farage's hands.

The trouble is, Putin knows that Trump is a coward and will never take the measures necessary to impede this, such as imposing massive tariffs on India and China for continuing to buy Russian oil.

This made me giggle. The UK is such a banana country still thinking it is so superior and it is 'Global Britain'. If there was only the EU next door it could join. What a sad case the UK has become.
Every time you think, okay, here it is, the UK is finally about to come back to realism on trade, an expression of exceptionalist fantasy on UKG let's you down.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Surely it wasn't actually Trump who won, rather Musk. Musk achieved a first by, in effect, buying a major country.

My own impression, during the 10-15 minutes I withstood this before switching over to Kika and watching the cartoons, is that Merz was hardly able to get a word in edgeways. Trump just rambled on and on, as childishly as usual.

😡Tu-95MS bombers have been observed in the air from Olenya Air Base. The exact number of aircraft is still being clarified, and there’s no confirmed information yet about an official takeoff.

If this information is true, it’ll be another sleepless night — the third in a row.
