So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are:

1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled)

2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Yep, UK does aerospace very well. In fact, the recent US Blue Ghost mission would not have made it to the moon without its main engine, which was designed, developed, built and tested in the UK. The future should be this kind of collaboration with US firms like Firefly.

I’ve finally read the transcript of Steve Witkoff’s long interview with Tucker Carlson about Gaza and Ukraine, which he’s supposedly negotiating on. It’s embarrassing — very little awareness of the complexities, and shockingly ignorant of detail. Carlson knows even less and can’t challenge him.

Join Andrea Jenkyns on her march against solar panels today!

Just a note team.

Steer clear of the ones with a plaque reading:

“This solar panel represents the 16,120 solar panels that provide solar electricity directly to Wakefield Manufacturing Site. Opened by Andrea Jenkyns MP 8 September 2017”

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, told LBC:
"We're different political traditions, but I think we've all been struck by the pace at which President Trump's new administration has come in and made a whole bunch of changes to the way that Washington and the way that government works.
"We might look at some of those changes and think, well, they're not quite the changes we would make, from a centre-left perspective, but the speed at which they've operated, we've actually thought, you know what, we can go further and faster. We will, we are.
That's what the prime minister's doing."

Ugh. I can’t tell you how much I dislike this. To witness such cruelty, incompetence, contempt for the law and think ‘let’s have some of that’… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The assertion of human rights is normally unpopular with those in power. That’s why we have them.

Brilliant achievement by @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social to land #BlueGhost on the moon. And the main engine, which performed perfectly to help make this happen, was designed, developed, and built here in the UK. 😁 #space #lunarlander #moon #NASA

Imagine a company (we'll call them Premier Sports Network) published a 3,300w article on their website that was over 95% plagiarised word-for-word from your work. What would you do?

Well, I sent them an invoice. This is what happened next...
