Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state.
Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry.
Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers.
We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
I've asked the BBC to correct this news report's mistake in claiming 100,000 small boat arrivals last year
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Could use BBC Verify data to get numbers right + more accurately report the context:eg, that small boat numbers are falling in 2026

Trump: " Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland to protect the world against Russia and China…This country should not be paying trillions of dollars to NATO."

We @libdems.org.uk are calling on the FCA to investigate whether Farage’s plans to cash in on Crypto could potentially amount to market abuse and a conflict of interest.
It raises concerns that Farage could be using the Trump playbook to put his own interests above the public good.

In March 2026, at least 1008 weather stations in the USA set (or tied) their local record for the warmest day ever observed in March.
Of these, 229 recorded a new March record so extreme that it would also beat any previously observed day in April.

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
Donald Trump’s idiotic war has damaged the global economy and left British families and businesses suffering.
A total disaster backed by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

The U.S. has lost 39 aircraft in 39 days of fighting with Iran.
That is just 7 shy of the aircraft lost in 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan.

Trump's remarks that 'a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again' lay bare his plan to issue wildly illegal orders.
I signed this letter to the Prime Minister. We must withdraw access now to all UK air bases, or risk British soil being used to commit Trump's war crimes.
These comments are a threat of genocide, plain and simple. The US President must not act in this way.
What the world needs is the courage of diplomacy and the wisdom of de-escalation.
The UK Labour government must act now to ensure that de-escalation takes place.
Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes.
The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.
This is an actual statement from the President of the United States.
This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH!
I don’t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!
We aren’t sure showing New York City on the eve of the Stockmarket Crash and the Great Depression is the flex Trump thinks it is…

Trump: "[Kim Jong Un] said very nice things about me. He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Joe Biden, he said he was a mentally retarded person."
Screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump): “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness.
The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure.
What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?
25th Amendment.
Articles of Impeachment.
Now.
What the hell else do you gutless, partisan fools need to see happen? What elze does he need to say? What else?
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.
BREAKNG: Yvette Cooper says Britain rejects Iran's blockade of the Hormuz Strait, but not Israel's blockade of Gaza or America's blockade of Cuba for some reason 🤔
Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
A year ago was Donald Trump's "Liberation Day."
What's happened since?
- Families have paid $1,700 in higher costs
- 89,000 manufacturing jobs lost
- Global investment in U.S. hit its lowest since COVID
And no tariff refunds in sight for Americans, just the bill.
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
