💢 Some bloke 💢

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Iran is now releasing cartoons that Trump can understand. 😂🤣👇

@drdavidbull Ha ha ha ha ha

🚨UK borrowing costs are at the highest level since 2008. Even higher than in the wake of Liz Truss’ mini-budget… The Tories and Labour keep failing and the public are paying the price. Britain needs Robert Jenrick in number 11. 🚀

@KemiBadenoch I wonder if Israel might help with that by not treating Palestine as worse than animals?

What kind of person targets Hatzola, a volunteer-run ambulance service? Just last week in Golders Green, members of the Jewish community told me how they live in fear of constant attacks. The police must find those responsible. A hatred of Jews is growing in our country and all of us need to make it clear in our words and actions that Britain will not tolerate antisemitism.

Wow. Japan's Prime Minister really does not like Donald Trump.

Brilliant. It's like she knows him.

Laura Kuenssberg, let us be clear. The only real divide within the Labour Party now sits on the fringes of the far left, those who have yet to accept that that chapter of Labour’s history has closed. The party has moved on. It is now firmly positioned as a centre left government under Sir Keir Starmer, and that is where the overwhelming support lies. What has become increasingly tiresome is the conduct of you and your colleagues across the BBC, ITV, and others, who appear more interested in shaping narratives than reporting facts. Day after day, since Labour came into power, there has been a steady stream of misdirection, exaggeration, and at times outright falsehoods, all presented under the guise of analysis. The BBC Charter is quite clear. It requires balance, fairness, and accuracy. It does not permit the creation of news to fit a narrative, nor the persistent framing of division where it does not meaningfully exist. The vast majority of Labour voters, what might reasonably be described as the quiet majority, remain supportive of the government and its direction. There is a clear understanding that Sir Keir Starmer holds the mandate, and that leadership should not be undermined by speculative commentary about internal rivals. Figures such as Andy Burnham or Angela Rayner are not the story, and to present them as such is to manufacture distraction rather than report reality. Governing for a full term is not without difficulty. It requires focus, discipline, and delivery against a manifesto. That is the task at hand, not responding to the constant noise generated by political commentary. Sir Keir Starmer has demonstrated resilience and steadiness in office. Those are precisely the qualities the country requires at this time. It would be refreshing to see journalism return to its proper role, to reflect what is actually happening in the country, to engage with the views of the wider public, and to step outside the narrow bubble in which much of this commentary now seems to exist. Because the greater risk is not disagreement, it is the erosion of trust. And it is this kind of reporting that risks pushing it further.

@edwinhayward Wow. That's astoundingly (and depressingly) good.

'Blue State... Red State... Failed State...' I wrote this song about Trump in February last year. It seems more appropriate than ever today. So accurate, it feels like prophecy!

@aDissentient You try to associate a predicted rise in energy cost with Milliband's tenancy without providing any reasons why Milliband might be responsible.

Energy suppliers' predictions for the second half of the year make grim reading. Prices are expected to soar to their highest levels under Miliband's term of office.

When evaluating Premierships context is so crucial. Domestically, Starmer inherited a broken economy, collapsing public services and high borrowing. Internationally, a major European security threat in Ukraine and - within months of taking Office - an unhinged US President.

@3YearLetterman @MarindaVannoy1 Tee hee. Two clearly weren't successful.

@MarindaVannoy1 7 kids 3 successful marriages The haters hate this

In a world full of Mark Kelly’s, Be a Pete Hegseth.

@SariArhoHavren Well, that was right on the button. Thanks for that.

Number of people attack me here for not doing the source analysis on their behalf. I quoted SCMP, and if their Chinese sources cannot be trusted, that is an issue. But here is a source where this quote can be found. And interestingly, Trump’s words were used (not going to try to trace his words). news.bjd.com.cn/2025/10/21/113…

Chinese state media has called the US a failed state, claiming it is “dying from within” as its global power wanes. This commentary, published in Beijing Daily, came as Chinese policymakers prepare long-term plans amid escalating competition with Washington during a crucial four-day conclave that began Monday. 1/2

@andyblueskyz @bbcquestiontime What complete rubbish. You've clearly no idea what a sneeze is.

@bbcquestiontime #bbcqt You do NOT catch viruses by "air born". That is a dangerous fictious myth which prevents knowledge of the real danger which is via touch and ingestion. Hand wash is all you need. Stop propagating BS.

“This is an illegal war, and we should have absolutely nothing to do with any offensive activity whatsoever” Liberal Democrat Josh Babarinde says he is “glad” the UK government has “learnt the lesson” about being “dragged into forever wars” by “reckless US presidents” #bbcqt

@Unionbuster You seem to be watching your own version of the program.

The progressive authoritarians are being owned tonight. #bbcqt Their whole sham has been exposed. Labour nonentity, green communist, useless Limp Dem, all a waste of space.

@penheiro53 @wesstreeting @CarolineLucas Everyone knows COVID is spread by droplets in the air. Next.

@wesstreeting talking about the Meningitis outbreak and sticking to kissing , sharing tapes and beer. He then says its not Airborne like other diseases Audience #bbcqt ask him if Covid is Airborne. @CarolineLucas ask him please.

@Unionbuster But not too busy to be on Questiontime???

Wtf is the point of Lucas, she is too busy flying to NYT to see her son #bbcqt

@XpressUnique Trump Derangement Syndrome? There really is only one man who has that and it's named after him.

#bbcqt We all know why Starmer wanted to snub his nose at Trump it's cos the Labour Party r more interested in displaying their Trump derangement syndrome & appeasing Islamists than helping to give freedom to Iranians who want to kick the Mullahs & Islamist Regime out of Iran.

@RobertCHeale Not all of them. Just the two that are lying.

Why does Caroline Lucas keep interrupting the other panelists on #bbcqt ?

@Unionbuster You seem deficient of facts.

Mad Miliband's energy policy is making us poorer He is the emperor with no clothes Drill, baby, drill #bbcqt
