@OccupyDemocrats @David_T_Evans Article 5 - an armed attack against one NATO member is an attack on all. America wasn't attacked .

BREAKING: The European Union REJECTS Trump's desperate plea for them to help open the Strait of Hormuz, stating that "this is not Europe’s war" and they will not let Trump "blackmail" them into it. This is an absolutely stunning rebuke... “Europe has no interest in an open-ended war. This is not Europe’s war, but Europe’s interests are directly at stake," said Kaja Kallas, the Vice-President of the European Commission. She further explained that while EU ministers have a "clear wish" to "strengthen" their naval presence in the Middle East, “there was no appetite in changing the mandate,” meaning they will not send warships to the strait like Trump has requested. “Europe is not part of this war. We have not started this war. And the political objectives are unclear," she said. “Nobody wants to go actively in this war," added Kallas. And who can blame the EU for not wanting to wade into Trump's blood-soaked mess? He launched this illegal war on behalf of Israel with no clear strategic goals in mind. It has devolved into absolute chaos, with Iran raining down missiles on American military bases and the cities of our Gulf allies. “The Americans chose this path, together with the Israelis,” stated German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. "We did not start this war." A large reason why past American presidents never attacked Iran despite pressure to do so was because they knew that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz, choking off 20% of the world's petroleum supply. Now, ships are terrified of crossing through the waterway, resulting in skyrocketing gas prices. Since he has no real leverage over Iran at this point (they have repeatedly rejected his secret efforts to obtain a ceasefire because they know that they can't trust him in negotiations), Trump is now begging for our allies to magically force open the strait. But even if they did agree to sent warships to escort tankers through, it wouldn't solve the problem. Those warships would not remove the treat of Iranian missiles and drones, meaning that the tankers wouldn't be able to obtain insurance, meaning they wouldn't attempt the crossing. “It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there. If there’s no response or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of Nato," Trump previously told the Financial Times. His comments went over like a lead balloon. "NATO is a defensive alliance, not an interventionist one. And that is precisely why NATO has no place here at all,” said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. "I hope that we will treat one another with the necessary respect within the alliance,” he added. “Don't ask us” to send our troops said Luxembourg's Deputy Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, adding that his country will not allow Trump to "blackmail them." We commend the EU for standing up to this fascist administration. No to war! Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the EU!

@cymbal_martin @PeterStefanovi2 @bbclaurak They should reduce the fuel duty on the increases not the duty itself . Therefore they do not need to claw anything back

@ciaranmc12 @PeterStefanovi2 @bbclaurak And tax what instead?

“The biggest chunk (of the cost of a litre of petrol) fuel duty, that goes to the government so you’re in control of the biggest chunk of the cost that people pay at the pump” @bbclaurak

@implausibleblog Tariffs were imposed and threatened on the countries he is now asking for support.

Kevin Maguire, "We don't want to be sucked into Trump's war with Iran" Susanna Reid, "What Trump is saying is that you rely on us for your defence and this is going to be bad for that alliance" "This is all well and good until we find ourselves needing Donald Trump saying, please can you protect us from something dreadful happening to us" "And he says, you didn't do enough when I took on Iran" "That is a doomsday scenario" Kevin Maguire, "And when we did respond on Afghanistan, he said our troops were nowhere near the front line, despite over 450 killed and many more injured" "Trump is taking away our security" "Tankers and trade were coming through the strait of Hormuz until he started bombing Iran with Israel" "You don't want to go along when the war is still happening, otherwise you become a target" Susanna Reid, "If we are a target we'll need the Americans" Kevin Maguire, "We could back this war in Iran and send everything we have, but that doesn't mean that Trump in a month won't say he won't support us" "That's the problem, Trump is not reliable"

@LizWebsterSBF @FarmersWeekly @PhilipCaseFW What a slur on the farming community . From what I have read not one has asked that only black people may apply. It is also illegal to advertise a job restricted to a specific race.

🚨 🔥 Remarkable exchange in @FarmersWeekly interview. When @PhilipCaseFW asked about misogyny in farming, Nigel Farage replies: “Does it?” Then he says scrapping the Equality Act 2010 is needed because it makes white working-class men “inferior citizens”. Female farmers raise concerns about workplace protections. His response? The problem isn’t discrimination, it’s the law protecting people from it. For a sector already struggling to attract women into agriculture, that’s a pretty extraordinary answer.

@AlexTaylorNews @RHHassall If there is a God he will not let Trump into heaven . First thing he would ask for is a regime change.

@afneil Starmer did not pick a fight with our ally . He picked a fight with a deranged paedophilic rapist.

ANDREW NEIL: Starmer has picked a fight with our most important ally at a time of grave global peril and a hollowed out British military. It was a stupid thing to do. mol.im/a/15615147

@ThatTimWalker @DaveJGarton Did you see this interview yesterday on Sky? Needless to say they aren’t showing the clip.

@paulmasonnews The 'special relationship' is with America. not Trump

@GMB @ranvir01 When you take the duvet cover off to wash you pull it off so it is inside out. Easier to roll it any size see u-tube .

How do you change your duvet? @Ranvir01 demonstrates a speedy way to change a duvet following a survey of the chores people hate doing the most.

@BOD1878 @squinteratn @RobbieButlerMLA Brilliant

@squinteratn @RobbieButlerMLA You couldn't miss his parents car tbf.

When I visited my grandparents in Springmartin West Belfast in the late 70s, 80s and even early 90s we were told to lie or duck down in the back of the car as we drove through Republican controlled areas incase the IRA "got us". Our crime was being Protestants driving to see our family. Thankfully the Belfast Agreement came, the principle of consent was established and the surrender of those committed to violence was won. I'm glad Lola didn't have to grow up with what my family and I did.

Just a quick reminder for Farage: you sold the public a fantasy on deportations, now the reality is, it's not legally possible, and never was. Another empty promise from the party of slogans. #bbcbreakfast #r4today #bbcqt

@GMB Cut summer holidays by 7 days. From year 8 up to 7 days flexible holiday per year during term time if attendance in yr 7 passed required level. Attendance another major problem should increase and fines decrease

With a record number of fines being issued for term-time holidays, should schools combine insert days into insert weeks to make holidays cheaper for families?

@PeterStefanovi2 Most Reform voters cannot be swayed as they do not have the brains to critically think.

🚨Gorton and Denton by-election “I’ve said it time and time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reforms candidate Matt Goodwin The European Convention on Human Rights protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice, why victims of abuse can seek safety, and why disabled people are treated with dignity in care. It grants our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials. And so much more JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM

@Bbmorg Trump has probably read The Bible on the front cover, but I doubt he has ever opened it.

Has Trump ever read the Bible?

@implausibleblog US Supreme Court finally telling Trump he is not above the law.

President Trump, "I can destroy the trade" "I can destroy the country" "I can do anything I want to do to them"

@nadhimzahawi @NickFerrariLBC Nadim are you sure it wasn't Andrew

Emily you are clearly desperate. @NickFerrariLBC was asking about a feeling of safety on our streets, when friends get mugged, when family get attacked you do feel vulnerable and unsafe even at 8am when someone comes at you wanting cash (I didn’t go into detail as I thought it unfair to the individual). But hey all the Conservatives who think our streets are safe rather than deal with the underlying problem . Then good luck to you. See what the public think of you and the Conservative Chairman & others who poke fun at people feeling vulnerable on our streets.

@WokeratiMarty If there were 2 meters they would not have been connected and would have separate bills .

Here's Nadhim Zahawi, the slimy rich snob, squirming like mad when he got found out for using taxpayers' money to heat his stables. He hates poor people, and doesn't want to see them when he's out and about.

@MidiaPetronilla Yes agreed . Not a good memory at all

@ciaranmc12 Maybe you were being reminded by the wrong people.

"but the town is controlled by that Unionist minority and run solely in their interest." "I was brought up believing that we were second class citizens, the fact that we didn't own homes, because if we owned homes then we would have a vote, it was a manipulated state."
