We now know the firm has had long-term dealings in Iran, including a €145m deal with the Iranian state-owned telecoms company.
Reform have more questions to answer.
“The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” —Judge Leon blocking Trump’s ballroom construction
Can someone please share this message with Trump, who thinks he owns the White House and the Treasury?

Erm..a long, long time ago.
Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.
Beautiful, and just what I needed. Thank you @arealmofwonder.bsky.social 🙏
The genius businessman strikes again
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.
Wise words from @neilmcrowther.bsky.social .

Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen:
We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends.
Even if there are minerals and oil under our land-and they are worth far more-we still would not sell ourselves.
Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?
