Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

There was no good way to organise this visit and nothing gained by sending him. A severe risk to national dignity, undertaken for no advantage whatsoever.

People in Westminster aren’t talking about the food price rises Trump’s reckless war will bring for families across the country.

That’s why we’re calling for urgent action to cut costs for British farmers, as part of a proper food security plan.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

The Home Office' anti-immigration agenda is strangling growth across the economy. It prevents a closer relationship with Europe, deprives us of the workers we need and undermines universities.

In any case, wasn't a commitment to speed up economic growth also a red line in their manifesto?

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

No, they've been attacking UK personnel and assets. And UK troops have been stationed at various overseas bases for a very long time. So that really does clear it up now. 😉

Trump has managed to alienate his own base with his blind obedience to Netanyahu: this is hard right populism now eating itself before our eyes.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple.

I said what I said.

We need to look at all options for removal immediately, including impeachment and invoking the 25th amendment.

I don't think so. His 2023 book "Technofeudalism: what killed capitalism" is very interesting.

Very disappointing from Varoufakis. He normally has much more interesting and perceptive things to say.

A reminder that Yanis Varoufakis, the idiot's intellectual, is another of Putin's little blogger-puppets. Hand-maidens for imperialism.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Yeah, that seems like a pretty good summary!

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
