When I was young, the UK and Norway both started drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea Thatcher WASTED the proceeds on privatisation and tax cuts for the rich Norway put it into a National Wealth Fund to help generations of Norwegians

👏 @ayeshahazarika nails it! “Trump right now is a bit like an insane grandad.” You don’t start a war in the Gulf without a plan for the Strait of Hormuz. And now the Strait of Hormuz the artery of global energy is at risk. We’re all being dragged into the fallout. #Newsnight

In March 2022, Pete Hegesth was criticising the Biden administration for not supporting and arming Ukraine to fight back against Russian aggression Almost like a completely different guy then to who he is today

Robert Mueller was the former special counsel who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 US Presidential election, which Donald Trump won. Mueller has died. Trump’s response? “Good, I’m glad his dead”. What a disgrace.

I do think it’s Thatcher that you should be blaming… We could have had our own domestic oil and a £1 trillion fund by now.

Today, our team met with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in the United States. This is important for the whole world: diplomacy continues, and we are working to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. No one wants this war. The teams will continue discussions tomorrow. The key issue is to understand how ready Russia is to move toward a real end to the war – honestly and with dignity – especially now, when geopolitical tensions have increased due to the situation around Iran. A more detailed report from our team will follow.

Has the Trump admin even bothered to provide a fake rationale for trying to help Orban like this? Or is "Putin told us to" an acceptable response now?

Applebaum: "This isn't cowardice. It's calculation: If allied leaders thought their sacrifice might count for something, they might choose differently. Most stopped trying to find logic behind Trump's actions, and understand any contribution they make will count for nothing." 8X

In result Canadian PM Carney declared Canada will not participate in "offensive operations of Israel and US, and it never will." German Defense Minister Pistorius: "This is not our war, and we didn't start it." Spanish PM refused to let US use bases for beginning of war. 7/

Trump continues to lash out at Zelenskyy and lie about American support for Ukraine, which he repeatedly describes as worth $300 billion or more. Real number closer to $50 billion over three years. At current rates, Trump will spend that much in three months in Middle East. 6/

Trump stopped sending aid to Ukraine, giving Putin renewed hope of victory. Witkoff began negotiating business deals between US and Russia, although war has not ended and Russians never agreed to cease-fire. Witkoff presents himself as neutral figure between NATO and Russia. 5/

Before second inauguration, Trump began hinting he wouldn't rule out using force to annex Greenland. By Jan 2026, his comments persuaded Danes to prepare for invasion. Danish had to think about whether their military would shoot down American planes, kill American soldiers. 4/

Trump called British "our once-great ally" after they refused to participate in initial assault on Iran. When they discussed sending aircraft carriers to Persian Gulf, he ridiculed on social media: "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!" 3/

For 14 months American president tariffed allies, mocked their security concerns, repeatedly insulted them. In Jan 2020: Trump told European officials "if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you." In Feb 2025: told Zelenskyy he had no right to expect support. 2/

Allied leaders stopped trying to find hidden logic behind Trump's actions. They understand any contribution they make will count for nothing. Few days later, Trump will not even remember it happened — Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic. 1/

If the water companies can't survive without dumping sewage in our rivers and seas, LET THEM GO BANKRUPT. Then nationalise them for nothing. Thank you, Boycott Water Bills and @juliewassmer for inviting us.

Ever heard of Palantir? Here's why it matters: Palantir is a US software company. It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes. In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.” Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used to surveil and target migrants in the US. Now, that same company is working at the heart of our NHS. Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England. Healthworkers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right. What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide. We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with our precious NHS. Learn more: amnesty.org.uk/issues/interna…
