Putin should listen to his own foreign ministry: "The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks... flagrantly violates international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the UN security council.”

I wonder what King Trump thought was going to happen when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear arrangements in 2018? If those two countries now go to war, it's on him.

Watch the energy tariffs fall in the UK as a direct result of Starmer's EU re-set. When that happens - as it inevitably will - #Labour must push for further integration with the EU. Once 65% of the population approves of rejoining, drive it home, and deliver a bloody nose for #Farage.
