@Scaramucci @JohnWilkinspsyc Why aren’t the Guardrails being implemented…

Trump was crazy in his first term, but people stopped him. Gary Cohen put the tariff memorandum in the shredder. Nobody let him bomb North Korea. There were rational people in the room who looked at each other and said — we’re going to curb his crazy. If he’d won in 2020 he’d still have had Republicans around him. Not perfect. But people who loved the country and would have kept him in check. And we’d be done with him by 2024. But he lost and losing fortified him. Trump 1 had guardrails. Trump 2 has none. That’s the difference and that’s why this moment is so much more dangerous.

@mickm115 @agbdrilling As long as you knew to slide your foot off the clutch and not lift your foot off for that would give your ankle a very painful whack as the fluid flywheel reacted.

@bennibennasi01 @OunkaOnX You just made that shite up didn’t you…

@OunkaOnX The diggers that are buried there died fighting the same evil Hamas represent today. You failed to mention that Hamas used the cemetery to hide weapons and munitions in tunnels beneath. Just like they use hospitals and schools as cover.

7 News reports that Israeli forces have destroyed 146 Australian World War I graves in Gaza. A total of 818 Commonwealth graves have been damaged or destroyed

@OunkaOnX @JohnWilkinspsyc Netanyahu did this - Ghoul…

🔵 🧵 The Tory outrage over Peter Mandelson looks theatrical when you remember this: In February 2023 while they were still in government senior Conservatives, led by Michael Gove, attended a closed-door cross-party summit at Ditchley Park. It was chaired by Mandelson and attended by figures like Goldman Sachs MD 👉Olly Robbins 💥 The purpose? To discuss how to “remedy the failings of Brexit” quietly, and with business and institutional backing. So let’s be honest about what’s going on. Mandelson wasn’t suddenly “back”. He was already being brought back in across party lines. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Boris Johnson failed vetting, yet Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. Dominic Cummings was never vetted, yet had free access to Government and Number 10. Quit trying to bring down Starmer.

@BO3673 I hope the passengers paid extra for that…🤣😳

@ThreshedThought Cross party working for defence, health, utilities and on and on…

Today’s reporting that the Chancellor is considering War Bonds to fund Defence - a Lib Dem idea - is exactly what I mean when I talk about cross-party working to fund defence. It doesn’t matter where the idea comes from, we just need to get it done.

I’d normally be the kind of person who wouldn’t stand up for a politician like Starmer. There’s plenty I don’t agree with him on; I find Labour a big disappointment and nowhere near as radical as I’d like on issues like abolishing the House of Lords, proportional representation, legalising pot, nationalising water, a wealth tax, and rejoining the EU. However, I also recognise some good things this government is doing or has done: workers’ rights, GB Energy, improving the NHS, VAT on private schools, closer ties to Europe, and standing up to Trump. I understand they were never going to fix the mess made by the Tories overnight and they have to prioritise. The attacks on Starmer are relentless. I might not agree with him on everything; I even find him a bit boring, but I don’t see the "incompetent monster" they paint him as. He’s not corrupt, he’s not incompetent, he’s not dishonest, and he’s not self-serving. I see a decent man trying his best. I don’t see the buffoon I saw in Johnson or a reckless halfwit like Liz Truss. I voted Lib Dem and will do again as I have a Lib Dem MP, but that doesn’t mean I want to bring this government down or see it fail. I wish Starmer all the luck in the world and hope he stays on, as he’s a darn site better than his Tory predecessors.

@nicholadrummond Get Warrior upgraded - the best plan. They told us in 1978 that 432 would be gone by 1985…🤷‍♂️

The British Army plans to upgrade 148 MBTs to Challenger 3 standard - enough to equip three Type 44 regiments. Increase this number to 176 (28 extra) and it could generate four tank regiments. This would allow it to configure square brigades with 2 x MBT regiments and 2 x IFV battalions in each. If the Warrior IFV is retained until 2030, while a new IFV is acquired in parallel, then modernisation is no longer dependent on Ajax.

@Posted_to_BAOR 43’s - they are being replaced in ‘85…🧐

@Ald19Dr @pippip343 @KernowQ A concept that people are struggling with - deliberately, I wonder why…

@pippip343 @KernowQ Vetting doesn’t preclude you from roles it just means they’re to monitor you more closely

Johnson became PM after he failed security vetting. Where was the outrage? Some changes needed to happen to the vetting procedures.

@BraisbyI @Mikey1732 Tories had three PM’s in the last five years of their 14 year shitshow, but yeh…

@Mikey1732 Every sane and sensible person in the country agrees with you, except that precludes the 403 Labour MP's who will follow the Tory lead and just replace Starmer with someone who will do even more damage to the country

Enough is enough. We need a new PM. But not another Labour one. Labour needs to call a general election. The last two years has been a complete disaster
