🚨🇷🇺 🇬🇧 Keir Starmer just sent Royal Marines, Navy ships, helicopters and RAF assets to board a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel.
He’s calling it a “blow to Russia.”
The raw truth? This kind of stunt risks dragging us closer to wider war. I don’t want war. No one serious does.
@Keir_Starmer What's with the photo shoot?
Apparently the camera man cleared the room before the special forces, lmao.
Well, after a few weeks you'd release the vessel, it's all you do. Stage a PR, steal the oil and then release the tankers. Hormuz is closed, we understand you need our oil.
BREAKING: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked the UK for intercepting a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker that was sailing through the English Channel.

We’re getting new engines!!
The thrust in the new Rolls Royce engines is similar, but they are 20-30% more fuel efficient, allowing for longer flights between refueling
My 3 Cents on Matinyarare 300 Series issue
The optics of this are disastrous and those involved should understand why it is raising serious eyebrows within the party and among loyal supporters.
For months now, @matinyarare has built his public profile through relentless attacks on President Mnangagwa, the First Family and the leadership of ZANU PF. He has not merely disagreed on policy; he has frequently employed language and narratives that many party members consider insulting, divisive and damaging to the image of the President.
It is therefore astonishing that a sitting ZANU PF Central Committee member, whose responsibility is to defend and advance the party’s vision, would publicly move to reward and celebrate someone whose political currency has often been derived from attacking that very leadership.
This inevitably raises uncomfortable questions. What message does this send to the thousands of loyal cadres who have consistently defended the President, the party and its programmes, often at great personal cost and without expectation of recognition? Are we now incentivising hostility towards the leadership while overlooking those who have remained steadfast in their commitment?
My advice to Cde Tungwarara is simple: hold back this “gift” for now. Proceeding with it under the current circumstances will only fuel speculation that there was always a level of alignment or understanding with Rutendo Matinyarare’s attacks on the President. It may seem like you have been working together to pull down people within the party and that you have been feeding them with intel. Whether true or false, perception matters in politics, and this particular perception is one the party can ill afford - especially with #CA3 on the cards!!!!
The leadership of ZANU PF should examine this matter carefully. Loyalty, consistency and discipline cannot become optional principles. If those who vilify the President are publicly rewarded by senior party figures while loyal cadres are ignored, then we should not be surprised when confusion begins to replace conviction within the ranks.
The issue here is not generosity or forgiveness - or whatever you may wish to call it. It is political judgment. And on that score, this decision reflects very poor judgment indeed.
