@PeterStefanovi2 The Straits of Hormuz were open to all.
Why are they now closed to free passage?
Because Trump and Netanyahu started, without any warning, an illegal unnecessary and unjustified war against Iran.
Cooper is wrong wrong wrong assigning all the blame to Iran.

BREAKING: “We will replace the ambulances that were destroyed in the horrendous attack.. the NHS will pay for the permanent replacements that are going to be needed. That is the right thing to do.. This is an attack on all of us who hold the fundamental British values of tolerance and respect” says Prime minister Keir Starmer

@jonsopel Your comment is a great disappointment, look at the fans history of violence and destruction. To expect the police and the public to deal with this is wrong.

The optics of the #AstonVilla ban are truly appalling. How can it be that there is enough policing every weekend to maintain public safety when tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian supporters gather, but there isn’t when it’s maybe a 1000 Maccabi fans on the one night an Israeli club is playing in Britain?

Drivers over 70 will face a driving ban if they fail an eyesight test. I do not have a problem with that. BUT why just the only 70's? Everyone of any age should have an eye test to obtain a license.

J.D.Vance didn’t get the warm welcome he expected at Chevening House in the UK while he was there for a family another family vacation on the taxpayers dime! 😡😡

@msm_monitor The worst interviewer ever. Constantly interrupting.

A masterclass from Stephen Flynn on BritNat Breakfast this morning. He was prepared for Laura Maxwell's agenda and refused to play ball when she attempted to divert the interview. Listen to Maxwell's signoff. Her dislike of the SNP getting the better of her again. #bbcgms #BritNatBreakfast

For too long, Britain depended on other countries for energy to power our homes.
Secure, homegrown, clean energy is the only way to take back control of our energy system, deliver jobs across the country and bring down bills for good.
That is exactly what my Plan for Change is delivering.

Ed Davey says farmers want the PM to be "careful" in trade negotiations with US President Donald Trump, and asks if he will guarantee a vote in Parliament on any deal with the US
Keir Starmer says "there will be a process if a deal is reached"

@StephenFlynnSNP If you believe the headlines, gbe plant is losing £700k a day, what makes this government think it can turn it around? I assume it will be the same personnel in charge?

Why do Labour consider British Steel more important than Grangemouth?

@nexta_tv What a petulant child. USA can apparently do what it wants and all countries have to accept the dictate of this person.

@jonsopel This is a threat to a sovereign nation and one that is also part of the commonwealth. Withdrawn the invitation to Trump!

@Peston So the bully tactics win! Trump will give Putin Ukraine and Gaza to Israel. Making millions of dollars for himself at the same time.

So just to be clear, and as I just said on ITV News at Ten, this Tweet by Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a summary of the formal ceasefire proposal drafted by him in partnership with Starmer and Macron and Rutte. It has been submitted to President Trump. The question on which so much hangs is whether Trump sees it as a basis of peace negotiations with Putin and for rebuilding relations with Zelenskyy and Ukraine.
In relation to placating Trump, Zelenskyy said three relevant things
1) sorry, President Trump
2) you are the boss, President Trump
3) I’ll sign the transfer of precious mineral rights to you, without a prior commitment from you to guarantee our security (though I’d still like to have that guarantee, if peace is to be sustainable).
That is a colossal quantity of humble pie for a war-time leader to eat. Will it persuade Trump that - in his terms - Zelenskyy can be trusted? Will it persuade Trump to reverse his ban on military aid to Ukraine?
I’ve asked those who might know or even have a hunch. They don’t know, on the basis that forecasting Trump is a fools errand.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration has officially paused all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, abandoning our allies as they face a Russian invasion.
RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin!
English
Should Trump’s state visit to the UK go ahead after this?
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin
English
This is bullying on a huge scale from puppets of Putin. Withdrawn the invite to trump to visit Scotland.
Ed Davey@EdwardJDavey
This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
