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!

@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.

Liz Webster@LizWebsterSBF·
🚨 🔥 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.

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.

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?

🚨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

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.

Winston Churchill was indeed a hero. But Reform members now talk about being scared of people “who look like they haven’t slept for a week” in the streets of London. How heroism changes.
