[thread] An updated bingo card for May 2025 based on one from January 2024

Kemi Badenoch disaster of an interview criticising the Ramadan Tent Project's Iftar at Trafalgar Square is something to behold 😅 @RamadanTent did it without objection under 4 Conservative PMs: 2015 under David Cameron 2019 under Theresa May 2022 under Boris Johnson 2024 under Rishi Sunak Gary Gibbon, "What is your objection to the Muslim prayer that happened in Trafalgar square" Kemi Badenoch, "As a woman from an ethnic minority background, I do not like to see women shoved to the side, segregated, in an event that is not welcoming to others" "Trafalgar square is a public space which we use for inclusive events" Gary Gibbon, "But the event was welcoming. It was inclusive. It was inviting other people to come and see what the moment was like" *Badenoch's eye lashes flash faster than a butterfly chasing nectar* Kemi Badenoch, "A segregated event like that, I do not think the Mayor should be party political" Gary Gibbon, "So gender segregation is your objection?" Kemi Badenoch, "Yes, but more than that" Gary Gibbon, "But lots of religions have gender segregation" Kemi Badenoch, "Not in public spaces. This is not about freedom of religion" Gary Gibbon, "The Ramadan Tent project organised events at the Victoria & Albert museum, in front of the Royal Albert Hall, under Conservative administrations" "They've been developing this public way of showing their faith and inviting people to come and observe it" Kemi Badenoch, "Without knowing the details of those events, I'm not making a comment" "I'm taking a specific event about that type of mass prayer, segregating women in the middle of Trafalgar square" "We believe in religious freedom, that doesn't mean any religious practice in every single religion" "Sometimes the authorities need to set guard rails and say actually this is too much"

Karoline Leavitt: “The president will be taking a few weeks off because he won the war with Iran, solved inflation, eliminated the national debt, and gave everyone jobs and healthcare.”

The Conservatives wheel out Helen Whateley Who, in case you missed her car crash interviews, humiliates herself on #BBCQT

NEW: Sources tell me frustration inside the Trump White House is mounting over Israel’s latest strikes — with one person familiar describing them as “very reckless.” Qatar has privately warned U.S. officials that targeting energy infrastructure “needs to be stopped,” the source says.

Kemi Badenoch's surreal car crash interview on #C4News Gary Gibbon, "You said you want the RAF to be allowed to launch missiles against Iranian targets" Kemi Badenoch, "If they are striking British bases, yes" Gary Gibbon, "You want them more involved?" Kemi Badenoch, "It's not an escalation it's a defensive position" Gary Gibbon, "I think that's joining in a war, not a war we were consulted on" Kemi Badenoch, "This is true" Gary Gibbon, "This is not a war that has been thought through" Kemi Badenoch, "I agree with that" Gary Gibbon, "Do you agree that it is an illegal war?" Kemi Badenoch, "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "Will you answer if it's legal?" Kemi Badenoch, "I've already answered multiple questions on whether it is legal or not" "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "So whatever Donald Trump starts, we join in?" Kemi Badenoch, "Let's be clear, Iran is an enemy of this country" "Prime Minister Keir Starmer maybe thinks he can sit on the fence and hope it can go away, that's not happening" "You talk about inflation, oil shocks, these things happen" Gary Gibbon, "They happen because of this war"

“No gaffe” Kemi

@JessicaTarlov *Now everyone is paying for American hubris

This is a mess. The goalposts around what “Operation Epic Fury” is going to accomplish are moving constantly to accommodate whoever is in front of the cameras. Trump claiming that we didn’t expect Iran to retaliate doesn’t hold up. Iran warned the UN weeks earlier, and experts flagged the risk before the strikes. You can debate whether the decision to go to war was right or wrong. But the idea that Iran’s response—or threats like closing the Strait of Hormuz—came out of nowhere just isn’t supported by the evidence. And now we’re paying for our hubris.

@WhiteHouse @SecWar

Operation Epic Fury: laser-focused, decisive, and on plan. @SecWar

@ImBreckWorsham No, just preyers

U.S. gas prices likely to hit $4 a gallon next week after reaching $3.90/gallon today. Thoughts?

Keir Starmer is too weak to be able to stop it and he has lost his authority, says Jacob Rees-Mogg gbnews.com/opinion/keir-s…

@larry_kudlow @VDHanson

Here’s @VDHanson on the Left’s opposition to the Iran conflict: “if Trump were to be successful, that would be a foreign policy triumph... so the stakes are pretty high for the Left… they're going to try to stop it”

I know you’re truly shocked but it turns out the same people against the Save America Act are also the ones overseeing massive fraud Case in point: California breaking it all down tonight on my triggered podcast w @seanmdav live 6 pm et!!!

Americans Agree that Operation Epic Fury Is an Overwhelming Success whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

Trump rages against Israel's Netanyahu for striking Iran's oil fields sending gas prices skyrocketing: 'I told him don't do that' trib.al/jMKsHCX

Quite apparent listening to Witkoff interviews in weeks since that he did not understand Iran nuclear issues and was obsessed with the wrong things and he and Kushner needed an expert on their team

EUROPE, DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU?

@cenkuygur x.com/PandaScottish/…

Here we go. Once Netanyahu has ordered in ground troops, then it's a guarantee. American politicians are not allowed to disagree. Watch. You'll see Trump will follow his orders like a dog. Then they'll pretend landing troops on Iranian islands doesn't count. Propaganda incoming.

Reporter: Could you continue this war without the United States? Netanyahu: You’ve exhausted your questions.
