According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.

2012. 'Comedian' Jimmy Carr was involved in a 'legal' tax avoidance scheme. There was public/media outcry. Carr apologised. He pulled out of the scheme. He paid the tax bill of £500k. Richard Tice avoided £600k in taxes. Where is the media coverage? #BBCBreakfast #GMB #r4today

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, "Brexit was a colossal mistake" "I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit, during the campaign, and those who still think that Brexit is a good thing" "It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot" "It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

Trump last night: „We are helping NATO with Ukraine, so NATO should help the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.“ This is a lie. Trump suspended all help to Ukraine with his inauguration. Not a single cent is going to Ukraine. European countries are buying US weapons. This is not helping, this purchasing. When I buy my goods in a store, then the store is not „helping“, it is making business. Trump threatened allies around the globe with invasion and denigrated them at every step, including fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. Putin on the other hand got a pass, received a warm welcome in Alaska and even got sanctions lifted. Those are the facts.

😍 Thank you @TiceRichard! 😍 You just proved Reform UK is the party of millionaires who hide their wealth behind lawyers or in other countries to avoid helping British working class people. You just told everyone you're a bunch of tax-dodging traitors! youtu.be/zdDRU3DW5To?si…

Make them pay every single penny owed. End of.

After creating a mess he can't get out of, I can't understand why Donald Trump isn't getting more help from the allies he spent the last few months insulting, threatening to invade and slapping tariffs on.

"I love my country, and that's why I exploit every legal loophole to avoid contributing to its upkeep."

Reform’s Richard Tice avoided nearly £600,000 in tax #Echobox=1773522666" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

EXCL: Richard Tice avoided £600K in corporation tax after acquiring legal status which experts say is rarely seen for a firm like his Reform MP then channeled dividends to offshore trust, pension vehicle and dormant entities — many of which didn’t pay tax thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Pete Hegseth confirms that apart from Iran shooting at shipping, the Straits of Hormuz is open for transit as usual. Such a shame he's not British, as someone this dim witted would be a natural fit for Reform UK.

Good idea not to mention the four by-elections we lost on the same day.

As Farage attacks Starmer over Mandelson's links to Epstein...... Why the hell aren't the media attacking Farage for his links to Trump - including the trip just last weekend when Trump is the person named most tin the Epstein files.

Seriously, why on earth is Sky's Beth Rigby rushing up to windswept Derbyshire to cover a cheap Reform Ltd gimmick? It's just free publicity - it is NOT a news item.

A Reform publicity stunt in the middle of nowhere that will cost Reform fuck all and would ordinarily go unnoticed but not when Beth and the gang can amplify more Farage bollox This is what Broken Britain looks like🙄🤷‍♀️

The way Farage shouts "no, no, no" to stop @BethRigby from even making an accurate point. If you sent a LOCAL ELECTION leaflet saying you will cut taxes, it is absolutely correct that a journo points out this would be interpreted as council tax cuts. He can't deal with scrutiny.
