Sky on fire. Like a #BorisPasternak great moment- 'no louder than the beating of one’s heart, & so very easy to miss it'....

@JuliaHB1 @TheSun So, you'd rather we stay in an abusive relationship with a convicted felon, who regularly craps on us? Better we join up with countries that actually respect us.

Starmer's plan to drag us back into the EU is treacherously sneaky - and just the beginning of the Brexit wars. My column for today's @TheSun ⬇️ thesun.co.uk/news/38715022/…

@RonFilipkowski Big question is.. ....who is the "We .. ?

And there it is.

@EthanLevins2 Trump's pronouncements now on an endless recycling loop.

I thought the Navy was destroyed?

@FreedomHasWon The Iran conflict is a US/Israeli war of choice. It is not a NATO operation. Article 5 has not been invoked by the US.

Rubio is on fire! Why do we pay 62% of NATO’s budget but can’t use what we pay for? NATO is now a spineless organization.

@BBCWalesNews Callling "a spade", " a spade"...

Lecturer who called Israel a terrorist state to remain Plaid Cymru candidate bbc.in/4sYh8aH

@BRICSinfo Have new ships been launched then, in the last 3+ weeks ?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US State Department says Iranian Navy could be destroyed within weeks

@USronaldcarter The problem lies your end mate.

🚨 NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED NATO ACTUALLY IS RIGHT NOW. In the last 72 hours, watch who walked away: 🇫🇷 France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France. 🇮🇹 Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes. 🇪🇸 Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Morón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense." 🇵🇱 Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no. 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws." 🇬🇧 UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage." 🇩🇪 Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America. That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany. All in ONE week. When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement. It's a collapse.

@MCarbonaraFL He alone created this mess. No one else is to blame. The rest of the World are suffering the consequences. Little wonder global respect for the US has gone.

🚨 STRATEGY SHIFT: President Trump is making it clear: the U.S. will NOT carry the world’s burden alone in the Strait of Hormuz. Buy American energy, secure it yourself, or wait it out. That’s leverage. America first, credit to President Trump. 🇺🇸

@DrEliDavid So from where has he conjured up that figure from?

Trump: "The regime killed 45,000 Iranian protesters in January"

@RapidResponse47 This is verbal diarrhoea of nonsense by any metric.

@TrishHodkinson That was 10 years ago. Trump has been crapping on us, so best to seek reliable allies elsewhere.

How dare he. How dare he make closer ties with the EU when 17.4 million people voted to leave those very said ties. HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!

@MarioNawfal @garside_geoff Trump's verbal diarrhoea syndrome gets worse.

🚨🇺🇸 The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen. Called him a dried up prune. Insulted his plastic surgeon. Told his supporters to boycott concerts that "suck." Somewhere a CENTCOM briefing is waiting. Somewhere four astronauts are floating toward the Moon. Somewhere oil traders are checking $108 on their screens. And Trump had the nerves.

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump *You can sleep safer thanks to being safely ensconced in your bed in the US 6000 miles away.

For too long, no one truly stood up to Iran until President @realDonaldTrump. His leadership, backed by the courage of our men and women in uniform, is why we sleep safer at night.

@PeteHegseth Describes the mentality of your current administration.

Back to the Stone Age.

@axios Not what's being said from the other side of the water.

🚨 NEW: The U.S. and Iran are discussing a potential deal that would involve a ceasefire in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, three U.S. officials tell Axios. axios.com/2026/04/01/tru…

@SirSimonClarke That supposed "ally" across the pond seems to favour the Russians more than us now. Doesn't leave us with much choice.

Shamelessly using war in the Gulf to effectively reverse Brexit - just as he always intended. Not even hiding it anymore.

The Trump Crater!..

@sharma_views We are NOT the 51st State of the US.

🚨 BREAKING: UK 🇬🇧 PM Keir Starmer gives sleepless nights to Trump REPORTER: Trump 🇺🇸 says US won’t back the UK anymore. How seriously do you take that threat? STARMER: Won’t change my position. I serve British national interest. Whatever the noise. UK FINALLY FOUND A SPINE 🔥

@DVATW @FT Keep up mate- opinions have changed now we defenceless, with a previous ally now in Putin's pocket.

Reversing Brexit and repudiating the wishes of the British people is something the globalist scum at the @FT approve

@BillKristol @carlquintanilla It will be a face-saving charade; blame Nato allies to cover up the fiasco.

I assume that tonight Trump will head for the exits in Iran. He may try to disguise the retreat by announcing the U.S. is leaving NATO, which Trump will present as a liberation from ungrateful allies and a victory for America First. So he'll make a bad outcome far worse.
