@Hepworthclare They clapped on both sides but I doubt many actually knew what he said & indeed the subtle nuances he gave out were outstanding, I have seen report that some were offended about the lessons he alluded too. Trump always lies anyway

@Dougmacd9826 I think the King was so subtle - it will have gone over Trump's head. The reports of conversations he claims to have had are certainly his "take" on KC3'S views on NATO, Iran and Ukraine - he would suggest align with his view and not that of the UK Govt.

And so it begins - as we knew it would. President Trump's "take" on conversations he's has with the King - regarding Iran and Ukraine. #BBCnews According to Trump, the King's view is US recomendations should have been followed. A flight of fancy from a fantasist.

@HarleyShah Why do MP need to be subsidised at all for food & drink, all at cheap rates. People in care homes & hospitals do not get this level. Its a scam

Trump lying about what the King had said was always going to happen, he was always going to lie to undermine Starmer. Its how He operates & everyone would know that. Not a shocker media outlets

President Trump, "Last fall, Melania and I had the pleasure of visiting their Majesties at Windsor Castle, a structure that's so beautiful and so long that it never seemed to end" "I, uh, looked down as a former real estate person, and it just went on forever" "And it was built by a gentleman named William the Conqueror in the year 1070" "And I asked the king, I said, was he a nice man, William the Conqueror?" "He said, I tend to doubt it. I don't think so" "When they call you William the Conqueror, generally speaking, you're not going to be too nice. But he must have been something, because it was nothing like I've ever seen Windsor Castle" "But, uh, tonight, in return, we are really doing something that's very special. Preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. A big time in our country. Very big time"

@chrisshipitv I think there was a lot of gritted smiles, they may clap but I bet they did not like a history lesson with facts, they want to make up their own history it plays to the cult better

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress: • NATO was there for USA after 9/11 • British Troops did fight in Afghanistan • Ukraine needs our help now • executive power must be subject to checks & balances • ice-caps are melting • America’s natural wonders need protecting

King Charles reminds Trump and MAGA that NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time after 9/11, when all alliance members came to the aid of the United States. “Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people,” the king said, receiving a standing ovation🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦

Slept late (for reasons I won't bore you with) tuned into #r4today & caught the fag end of an interview with Farage. Hell's teeth ! It was like listening to two blokes - after a match - having a chat over a pint. Quite different to the mauling dished out to Labour MPs.

Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy blasts Trump’s DOJ prosecution of James Comey over a seashell “86 47” Instagram post: “There was not a threat of violence against the president, much less an unambiguous call for his assassination. Nor would it be remotely possible, on the known evidence, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Comey intended violence… This farce, then, is nothing more than a continuation of Trump’s lawfare campaign against a political enemy. It is inconceivable that Comey could be convicted of a crime in these circumstances, but the president’s minions are putting him through the anxiety, expense, and stigma of the judicial process. This includes acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is under pressure to prosecute Trump’s enemies and hopes to have the “acting” designation removed from his title.”

Brilliant speech. I've been watching him very carefully since his time at the Treasury - where he was also superb.
Vince. Insanitas Mundi. #VoteLabour🌹#COYI@Vinc_Ev_

Star of the day @darrenpjones. Great speech. Excellent rebuttal of the childish nonsense of opposition. Loyal and thoroughly on top of his brief. Been in parliament for a lot less time than some of his (SCG) colleagues. But he gave them a lesson in how to behave in Government

I suspect Reform will do well but maybe not a bad thing in the end as people at a local level will see just how bad they really are at running a council when they try to cut services & line their pockets

The Mandelson affair is reaching the point of absurdity. His appointment was a mistake, the process was cocked up, he has been sacked. That is the end of it. Yet the Tories keep flogging a dead horse and the press playing along because it is a good (rather than real) story.

President Trump, "From the trenches of World War I to the beaches of Normandy, from the frozen hills of Korea to the scorching sands of North Africa and the Middle East" "And we're doing a little Middle east work right now, two of you might know, and we're doing very well" "We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do" "We're never going to let that opponent (Iran) have a nuclear weapon"
