@mr_mayank The benefit of the doubt left the room Trump is in some time ago.

BREAKING : Trump is planning to ‘Punish’ NATO countries for refusing to support against 🇮🇷 Iran 🤣
Trump may soon move out US troops from NATO countries like 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇫🇷 France, 🇬🇧 UK, who didn’t give in to his bullshít
Crybaby Trump will isolate the US from the entire Europe. What a loser 😭

@MarioNawfal Right side of the carpet, no stumbles...something to build on.

Starmer visiting the Gulf to talk about the reopening the Strait of Hormuz
The world's biggest navy, larger than all others combined, couldn't do it, but Starmer thinks the Brits can?
English
@dontdelay The ongoing cliff edge created by the withdrawal of the personal allowance plus childcare benefits at £100k is a (nother) market distortion that continues to deliver perverse outcomes. Surely governments must learn this at some point?
English
This is such an important take.
If we incentivise our highest earners not to build lifestyles that require them to maintain higher incomes, they can then afford to retire at a younger age.
Less tax now. Less tax later.

'Just put £60k into your pension every year to avoid the tax trap above £100k - hang on, why are our most productive taxpayers taking early retirement in their 50s??!!?!?!'

@bbcnickrobinson @SKhatibzadeh @BBCr4today The dark irony of Iran trying to stop a war using one America started as leverage.
English
Just been speaking to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh who has told @BBCr4today that the US cannot have its cake & eat it. Trump must choose between a ceasefire & allowing its ally Israel to continue the war in Lebanon
English
@DPJHodges Iran has achieved a rare triple of:
1. Resisting US-led regime change
2. Exposing the limits of US diplomatic and military capabilities, and
3. Uncovered a new source of leverage and money, in Hormuz.
Trump has been outwitted, outmanoeuvred and outlasted.
English
@jonkarl Trump is a moral vacuum...my bet is the IRG will persuade him to side with them against the Iranian people soon...see Putin/Ukriane for the most recent precedent.
English
This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”
“It’s a beautiful thing”

The one positive form this whole disaster is that Hegseth will be the first fall guy for it.

Inside the meeting that convinced Trump to go to war with Iran: CIA 'dismissed regime-change plan as 'farcical'. JD Vance said 'it's a bad idea'. But Donald went with his instinct' trib.al/N37HI5L

@RossKempsell Talk about being late to a party to which you were not even invited...
English
Starmer has immediately flown to the Middle East to emphasise his crucial role in the US-Iran ceasefire, which he didn’t broker, didn’t know was coming, didn’t participate in shaping and had absolutely no part in whatsoever
English
@DPJHodges I was going to pop over there and open it myself...

Someone needs to compile a list of these takes. There are going to be some belters floating around today...

“The problem is that our country is being run by people who have never run a business. They just don’t understand it.”
A Cornish hotel owner. Anyone disagree?
English
@jonsopel Trump is boxed into a corner. If he follows though, he risks global havoc and US isolation. If he doesn't, he emboldens Iran, plus Russia, China and arguably India. As such, he is being skilfully goaded (ultimately by Xi?) into throwing his best punch.
English
At least in Europe our civilizational erasure is taking place over years. In Iran it’s going to happen in one night - tonight.
This rhetoric is getting wilder and wilder - and if it’s meant to make the Iranian regime cower, it’s not working. Makes them think they’re winning
English
@ITVNewsPolitics Enough already. He is having to articulate vague and non-committal solutions to a problem he didn't see coming and helped to create. End of.

'The central mission of this government is to get off this rollercoaster of fossil fuels'
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told ITV News the government would 'fight people's corner' and 'stand by people's side' as fears of energy price spikes continue to grow

How much cash do we need set aside and what should we be doing with it? Here is a reminder about some key principles when it comes to deciding.

@davidyelland Well, let's hope he is also about to disappear for three nights and three days. Give us all a break.

In this country our media would not let a leader get away with this ridiculous madness…. the White House press corps and US media generally have got to step up…. man up… woman up…. wake up…

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

@JamesMelville He is a net zero zealot who ought to be operating on the fringes. The fact he is front and centre is extraordinary.
English
'Those people who say new exploration licenses will somehow create huge amounts of energy for us... I mean, they're just wrong'
Ed Miliband - stuck in a doom loop of net zero insanity. Because of him, the UK is the largest economy to ban new licenses for North Sea exploration.
English
@DPJHodges I was initially a supporter of his ability to make decisions and lead - rare qualities in politics now. But he has too many other flaws, which include a sociopathic lack of empathy. As such, he has rapidly become yesterday's man.
English
This isn't old school 1970's style racism. It's old school 1930's style racism. I just can't get my head round how this is tolerated from a US President in 2026.

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

@John_Stepek @JoumannaTV Reminded of something the late, great Sir Patrick Moore once said to me, "I was invited to play 16 games of simultaneous chess at a charity event last week. Pretty straightforward - I lost them all."
English
@JoumannaTV Good news - maybe an imminent quantum computing breakthrough will help us to decode his social media posts
English
@RadioFreeTom Grace of ready compliance was always a better bet for the UK. By resisting Trump "on principle" we gifted him a scapegoat and an excuse to do more political damage (see NATO). Starmer is a lawyer who is still learning that sometimes you can be wrong even when you are right.
English
It took a almost a century for the United States to build a global system of trade, security, and cooperation, and these guys are going to throw it away because they screwed up and have to save face.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Hegseth indicates reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a core US objective: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."

To fully understand big stock market bounces you have to be aware of three factors;
- Fundamentals
- Sentiment
- Technicals (esp' the "short squeeze")

The British right made a huge bet on the American alliance holding together when they took us out of the EU. Trump has blown up the American alliance and so we head back to Europe
