Might be worth nailing Trump to a cross for the weekend, see what happens by Monday…

So.. We try (and sometimes fail) to hold it together as we unpack the chaos: - Those Palestinian death penalty celebrations - The Gaza blueprint now rolled out for Lebanon - Our pathetically weak and craven politicians …and the sense that ordinary people are shouting into a void New Trawl episode: Dark humour, no red lines, zero sugar‑coating 🎧 Stop the World, We Want to Get Off Listen below

Oops! He’s forgotten to swap accounts again 😂

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry. But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness? They’re hoarders No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend Sick in the head.

The Tories’ ludicrous position on energy was exposed on #bbcqt. Harriet Baldwin argued drilling more oil and gas in the North Sea improves “energy security”. Fiona Bruce challenged her: “If North Sea gas is sold on the international market, how does drilling more make the UK more secure?” Baldwin had no answer … bc there isn’t one. The Tories sold off our oil and gas instead of managing it like Norway. Then Brexit took the UK out of the European Union Internal Energy Market and doubled down on gas priced on global markets. Now they claim drilling more gas we don’t control will make us secure. ❌ It won’t.

Honest question: will you nationalise those reserves like Norway did? If so, I could be persuaded to back the policy.

HOW IS THIS NORMAL? Trump on the girls’ school in Minab: “The Tomahawk missile that destroyed it could have been anyone’s. A Tomahawk is very generic.” Facts: Tomahawk missiles are manufactured by RTX in Phoenix, Arizona. The US sells them to exactly four countries: the UK, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands. None of them are at war with Iran. The White House already confirmed behind closed doors to Congress that the US targeted the area. CNN confirmed US responsibility. 165 girls aged 7-12 are dead. And the President of the United States just told the American people a Tomahawk missile is “very generic.” This is not a mistake. This is not confusion. This is a lie. On camera. About dead children.

@philbin85 I think it looks smart

In a long life, I can not recall a time when the US was not slaughtering civilians in the name of freedom.

If you film the attacks in Dubai, it's 2 years in prison or $50k. The "free" city just showed its real face. Some illusions die hard

@philbin85 Thats how hes got us playing though mate. No risk, slow ineffective football. No urgency at all until we went one down. His under use of Rio shows his arrogance.

Starts the next league game

Cody Gakpo’s clearance prevents a potential Liverpool opener 😅 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK

@TheAnfieldWrap The Manager

What would you change at half time?

@griffwebber @philbin85 March 3rd? 🤷🏻

@philbin85 What date is it?

Gonna set fire to my neighbour's house because he is gonna set fire to my house. I have no evidence that he is gonna set fire to my house, but I'm doing a pre-emptive strike. BRB. If my neighbour retaliates, you must kill him for me. This is how self-defence works ♥️

@IsabelOakeshott Did you delete your previous post because you don't want to get thrown in prison for social media posts?

As boards of peace go, this one's got off to a bad start.
