Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

🔥 Farage roasted again by 🇺🇸 Rep Jamie Raskin “This is the guy that delivered Brexit to the UK. How he shows his face in public after that debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in the history of England? I cannot imagine a society that produced some of the greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.” Absolutely 💯

The cost of the clean energy transition is less than the entire cost of the last fossil fuel crisis. A further reminder that politicians on the right who want to abandon our drive for clean power want to saddle our country with huge costs and risks. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

There’s always a tweet

@allenanalysis The Russian troll farms and duped Americans don't seem to like this.

🚨 BREAKING: UK PM Keir Starmer just agreed to redirect the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea Football Club to Ukraine. Chelsea was seized from a Russian oligarch. Now that money is going to fund Ukraine’s defense. That’s what accountability looks like.

If anyone else said these things people would just say, "WTF are you on about mate?" and move to different seat in the basket-weaving class. But, because it's the owner of this site people behave as though he's imparting great wisdom. "Oxfordshire is a village of 500 peace-loving, pipe-smoking hobbits, under constant attack from rapacious immigrants. We have to save them!" - What nut-job said that? Elon Musk. - Really? Then we must join with the Army of the Elves and wage war on Sauron immediately. Saddle the horses!"

"The division that's been created is absolutely disgusting. Mainly created by angry middle-aged white men who know exactly what they're doing." - Gary Neville.

This is how Reform UK work. They find a false story, and turn it in to a tool. The real story is that the project actually involved improvements across all government departments, doing 'silly' things like improving accessiblity and creating efficiency through improved user experience. And guess what? The £500k price tag was for a swathe of work, the change in logo(s) was one final part of it. @TiceRichard never looks at the detail. Imagine him anywhere near power?

Please watch and share this 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸 President Macron, "Naively, we have entrusted our democratic space to social media controlled by American entrepreneurs or Chinese corporations whose interests do not align with the survival of democracy" "Children are exposed to harmful content, fueling mental health and behavioral crises among youth" "Public spaces encourage emotion over reason, negativity over positivity—driving extremes" "Algorithms amplify this for profit. Our democracies were not designed for this" "If we Europeans do not reclaim control of our democracy, in ten years, those exploiting this infrastructure will have won" "We will become a continent of conspiracy theorists, extremists, and noise" "If we believe in democratic order, we must put science, knowledge, culture, education, and learning at the center" "We must protect our youth and regulate social media with the same standards as democratic spaces: no hidden or fake accounts, equal responsibility for published content" "Otherwise, racism, anti-Semitism, and hate will triumph. Europe can rebuild a 21st-century democracy—but it requires action"

🇬🇧 Question is: how much Russian cash has seeped into Reform? Retweet if you think it’s time to investigate. 🔎 #RejoinEU #ExitBrexit #ReformUK

I am not a Labour voter but what Trump says about Sadiq Khan is rubbish. He keeps pushing the line that London is broken and that Khan is to blame. I live here. I do not just stick to the west of the city where I live, I move around and see it as a whole. London is alive, busy, and brilliant. It is nothing like the picture painted by Trump or the right. Trump is not confused, he knows what he is doing. He plays up division because it suits him. The truth is that London’s strength comes from the mix of people who call it home. Different cultures, faiths, beliefs and backgrounds all live side by side. That is what makes the city powerful and wonderful, and why I think it is the best city in the world. And whilst I do not vote for Sadiq in London, I believe he is a decent man, a man of principle, and that counts for far more than the sneering right who shout down any good he does for their own political gain.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics. RT if you agree.

@JonathanPieNews Insane how short people's memories are. Trump supporters have killed or attempted to kill far more left leaning people than has happened this way round. The left are also quick to condemn any violence no matter the political side.

Horrific. Just senseless.

So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left. In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories: The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter. The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter. The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters. The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter. The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter. The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters. The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter. There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.

Brian Cox bang on as per re Nigel Farage The working class majority who fell for Brexit are still falling for his BS now. Same people paying the price for that mistake will suffer most under Reform, benefit cuts etc etc.. Why can’t they see what’s happening 🤯 #BBCLauraK

Foreign secretary David Lammy tells Reform's Sarah Pochin to "get off social media and get help" As she spouts nonsensical conspiracy theories in parliament
