APPLEBAUM: Trump administration wants to do business with Russia, and war in Ukraine is an obstacle. They treat it like trivial problem that could be solved if Zelenskyy would just step aside. It’s profound arrogance, ignorance, and hubris all wrapped into one. This is a really big war. It’s a war about European civilization, the same civilization they claim to care about. It’s about sovereignty. Do Ukrainians not deserve sovereignty? This is illustrative of the deep shallowness of Trump administration and their inability to spend even five minutes trying to understand what these conflicts around the world are actually about.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@BRICSinfo Rich coming from someone who underestimated Ukraine

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov says the US believed Iran could be defeated "in a day" with unprovoked aggression. "I believe these people now understand how mistaken they were."

@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @Ed_Miliband Start with Eurogarages and Asda first !

If fuel companies try to rip off customers, my government will step in. @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband are bringing the bosses of the fuel companies in today, to make sure that customers aren’t losing out because of the conflict in the Middle East.

@GyllKing No submarine or destroyer protection as all on Maitenance. Very sad and very stupid state of affairs

My guess is they can’t get it to work.

So with a surface fleet of only 15 — most of which are in various stages of maintenance — why does the Royal Navy still have 40 ‘core’ Admirals (Rear Admiral and above)? Almost three per ship seems a bit excessive since each ship presumably has a Captain …

The French aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle has arrived to protect the British Sovereign territory and Armed Forces base RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. If that doesn’t make you feel embarrassed to be British then nothing will. Unforgivable @Keir_Starmer

Happy to be corrected by naval experts. But by my calculations the entire Royal Navy surface fleet of warships consists of: Two aircraft carriers Six Type 45 destroyers Seven aging Type 23s And of these 15 warships only three are currently active (soon to be four if HMS Dragon leaves port tomorrow. In any sensible estimation of deployable capability we don’t really have a Navy, do we?

@ActionBrexit Now they say preparing air craft carrier… with what support ships? Which submarine support? Government now a laughing stock! We have become Little Britain !!

YOU ONLY NEEDED TO PROVIDE ONE BRITISH WARSHIP TO CYPRUS HAVING HAD 2 WEEKS NOTICE, AND YOU FAILED TO PREPARE. YOU DID FIND TIME HOWEVER TO PRACTICE YOUR CHOREOGRAPHY FOR STRICTLY COME DANCING! YOU SHOULD FACE CHARGES OF NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE!

@JohnHealey_MP @DefenceHQ Time to half the amount of MP’s to about 300 and send money saved to Defence

This week, our Armed Forces have shown extraordinary professionalism and dedication. They are protecting British lives and British interests in the Middle East. And that work continues ⬇️

@DefenceHQ @JohnHealey_MP @RAFAkrotiri Embarrassed to say we are English after such piss poor performance in Cyprus

Protecting British people, British interests, British allies. @johnhealey_mp updates from @RAFAkrotiri ⬇️

@Nigel_Farage @SpencerGuard Don’t worry Labour have requisitioned HMS Belfast and they say once the mandatory consultants have done their enquiry to can be done - projected to cost £2 billion and fees by 2029 it should be ready for the health and safety inspection and diversity training period.

We were once the greatest naval nation on earth. Now we barely exist as a military power.

@kelvmackenzie Maybe they should get Hms Belfast operational 🥴

The Times says the warship HMS Dragon won’t arrive to defend Cyprus from attack for two weeks. Been quicker to get there by pedalo.

@daveatherton @afneil I gather they just commissioned Serco to prepare Hms Belfast for action again. They advised in should be ready in 2029 to sail to Iran after an extensive refit , health and safety checks and diversity training. Serco advised the project would come in less than HS2 / £50 billion

In a rare decisive move from PM Sir Keir Starmer, he is preparing King Henry VIII's Mary Rose to be despatched to the Mediterranean. Just needs a lick of paint and a cannon.

A brilliant explanation by @ZiaYusufUK about why Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s are true. The scale and pace of uncontrolled immigration, from differing cultures that are alien to British values, has been damaging. Labour & Tory MPs should be apologising, not Jim.

@IngrameThomas Yes

Do you agree that Sir Jim Radcliffe was 100 % correct . Yes or No ???
