@LukeMarsden He just can't get going in the Premier League. Really subdued

Is Josh Rock broken?! #pldarts

Prime Minister Starmer wants to give President Trump advice about our fight with Iran. That’s like taking advice from a nun about sex.

BREAKING: Trump on Iran: All of their leaders are gone.

If you go to the darts and you’re whistling when players are on a double you’re an absolute dickhead Bring back the death penalty

Come on ☢️ #PLdarts

Here’s a clear explanation of why Trump attacked Iran, and why I think the war will end soon. The war isn't about nuclear weapons. It's not about helping the Iranian people. It’s not about doing Israel’s bidding. And it's not about Iran being a threat to the U.S. It's about China. China imports 45-57% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has the capacity to shut it down. A U.S.-aligned Iran means an Iran that would choke off that strait if there's ever a real power struggle between Washington and Beijing. And there already is one. The U.S. and China have been locked in a tariff war for over a year now. Also remember when China threatened export controls on rare earths, encompassing any company anywhere in the world that uses Chinese rare earths? Yes, China essentially said that any company that uses their rare earths (China refines 85-90% of the world’s supply) must seek their permission before exporting their products. This means if a German manufacturer uses rare earths fro China to create chips for American companies, China can block the export of these chips. That’s how much leverage China has over the U.S., and that’s dangerous, especially if China finally decides to reunify with Taiwan. So controlling the Strait of Hormuz becomes critical for the U.S. It's the same reason Trump wants China out of the Panama Canal. The same reason Venezuela matters. The same reason he's eyeing Greenland, where shipping routes to China pass through melting Arctic ice. Energy is everything now. The AI arms race is the most important strategic competition on the planet. Limiting China's access to energy is how the U.S. wins that race, and anyone who believes in freedom and democracy should want America to win. China is investing heavily in domestic energy, building nuclear reactors, solar farms, wind power. They're leapfrogging the rest of the world. But they still import the majority of their oil. And a significant chunk of it comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran was reportedly nearing a deal for supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles from China, which would make it easier for Iran to threaten shipping in the Strait and strike U.S. naval vessels. That accelerated the timeline. Trump's comment today about doing in Iran what he did in Venezuela makes perfect sense in this context. He wants influence over who comes next. A regime that's workable for Washington. If he succeeds, this would be a massive strategic win for the U.S. and for Trump.

Some nice news for a Friday evening!

If Trump was Elphaba…

Oh good Luke The ☢️is back #PLDARTS

Stunning game of 🎯 that #PLDARTS

'America is questioning our loyalty...and we are going to be suffering far more than the US economy.' 'We should have been all in with the President', says @Jeremy_Hunt, as he explains the issue with Keir Starmer's 'failure of leadership' on Iran.

Whatever we think of someone might indeed be true, and there also might be far more depth and complexity to that very same someone we know nothing about.

Lisa Nandy doesn't deserve a penny of this, the woman is never actually in Wigan. Far too busy sipping champers at the #BAFTAs

The Electoral Commission needs abolishing another Blairite creation!

🚨 BREAKING: US CENTCOM confirms there are NO US casualties, no US Navy ships have been struck, the Armada is fully operational, and damage to US installations is "minimal" with operations normal Iran lied that they did major damage to us. NOT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WATCH 🇺🇸

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

Keir Starmer has used the conflict in the Middle East to sneak out yet another ministerial resignation. Another time he’s lacked the backbone to sack a minister who was obviously in the wrong. Simons was in charge of a group that deliberately smeared journalists, even using a journalist’s Jewish faith to call him into question. Labour hasn’t changed. The “think tank” Labour Together has donated or provided support to over 100 Labour MPs, including many of the Cabinet. Their former staff members are in positions of influence across Government, including as civil servants. Simons has resigned so it’s clear Labour Together is utterly finished as an organisation. Keir Starmer must tell us immediately if he will now end Labour Together’s links with his government and return the tainted money they’ve donated.
