Any word from these guys?

HEINRICH: What is diesel?

WRIGHT: Diesel is over $5

HEINRICH: It's closer to $6 in my state

WRIGHT: It's over $8 in California

Aggressor losing both his illegal war and the PR battle desperately U turns again

The idea that being *a member of the House of Lords* in any way means you can be trusted with Top Secret/STRAP material without proper vetting is so beyond absurd that this must surely be a joke?

Consensually ?

Miliband doubles down on net zero - Energy Live News Labour to announce breaking the link between gas and electricity prices and more renewables push

Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”

A miracle unfolds: Pope Leo is taking Trump down without even saying his name A new poll shows Trump at his lowest approval, with his attack on the pontiff having sent him tumbling further.

🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

Yesterday I was suspended from the Commons and escorted off the parliamentary estate for calling the Prime Minister a barefaced liar.

I would do it again.

Every person in this country knows that Keir Starmer is exactly that.

I will always speak truth to power.

Zelensky: The EU asked Ukraine to repair the Druzhba oil pipeline.We completed the repairs. Now we are waiting for the unblocking of €90 billion for two years.

The U.S. Has Ditched Professional Diplomacy The first priority is Trump’s image, not national interests.

Of course US-Iran negotiations have gone nowhere. The Iranians are prioritizing national interests. The Americans are prioritizing presidential image management.

My latest in @foreignpolicy.com:

Astonishingly UK gov has awarded 34 contracts worth £900m to US-based Palantir, including a 7-year £330m contract to handle NHS patient data. There are major concerns about this, given Palantir’s links to the CIA, its contracts with the IDF, and its co-founder Peter Thiel being a major Trump donor.

Extraordinary testimony from Olly Robbins to foreign affairs committee:

- he was subject to “constant pressure” from No 10 when at foreign office to get Peter Mandelson in post asap.

- fcdo was urged to allow Mandelson’s appointment as ambo *without* usual vetting process - but dept pushed back

Maybe urge the aggressors to cease their illegal war ?

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.

Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

EXCLUSIVE: Documents Reveal US Contractor’s Modifications of Spy Plane Just Before Flights Over Gaza A US defense contractor flew spy planes over Gaza. FAA docs show Sierra Nevada Corporation installed a military air traffic control device and surveillance equipment before the plane’s deployment.

EXCLUSIVE:
"UK surveillance flights over Gaza were conducted with more US involvement than previously known, Federal Aviation Administration documents obtained by Zeteo reveal... [and] put the countries at risk of aiding and abetting war crimes, international legal experts told Zeteo."

And can I just add… No one at Palantir seems to be able to read or write.

“We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism”

Take out the vapid tautologies and you get:

“We must resist pluralism”

Great tell.

Damn. She doesn’t mince words 💥

“JD Vance telling our pope to be very careful about speaking about theology. It’s a veiled threat. These guys are thugs and murderers.”

Can’t help but wonder if this might have a domino effect

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat

On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat

If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

Many in Congress have benefited from his crazyiness, or wish that they may yet do so

The self interest and corruption run deep

He might as well answer in Russian.

Trump reminds me of serial killers who love to see themselves portrayed in the media and how they are outsmarting the police.

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

He can threaten to hell freezes over. When an article is fact based on absolutely the truth, there’s not a goddamn thing he can do about it. Cockeyed drunk incompetent.

Emphasis matters.
