Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices

@DaveATBranch There is a massive difference between the way in which racing horses are cared for compared to how racing dogs are

@ImtiazMadmood @davec_NH The US only got involved in WWII after being attacked by Japan and Germany declaring war on them after that attack.

Dear NATO Countries:
WWI & WWII were not our wars either, but we bailed your sorry asses out.

🚨 BOLTON WARNS EUROPE: THIS COULD BACKFIRE HARD
John Bolton has just laid out a consequence European leaders may not have fully thought through.
By dismissing Iran as “not our war”, Europe may be triggering something far bigger.
Because the response from Donald Trump is predictable:
“Then Ukraine isn’t our war either.”
That’s the strategic risk.
For years, Europe has leaned heavily on American:
Military support
Financial backing
Security guarantees
Particularly in Ukraine.
But alliances are reciprocal.
If Europe chooses to step back when the U.S. faces a major geopolitical confrontation…
It opens the door for Washington to do the same.
And that changes everything.
Bolton’s warning cuts to the core of alliance politics:
You don’t get to pick when solidarity applies.
Because once that precedent is set…
NATO cohesion fractures
Support for Ukraine becomes uncertain
And the entire Western alliance enters a new phase of transactional relationships
Europe may think it’s avoiding escalation.
But in reality, it may be inviting a strategic reset — one that leaves it far more exposed than before.
The question now is whether European leaders recognise the gamble they’re making…
Before the consequences arrive.

@ACTBrigitte How long will it take for people to see that Trump has no interest whatsoever in NATO …. Wake up

@IranSpoof India is not a friend, surely there is a deal behind it.

@KHAN278287 @IranSpoof Because India has nuclear weapons…. Watch this space

@AdamC0llinge @labourpress @annaturley Get rid of the lot of them. None of them have any cohesive policies

@labourpress @annaturley Get rid of Starmer! And everyone in the #Labour party linked to paedohiles. Seems to be a lot.

Labour is calling on Kemi Badenoch to sack her Shadow Justice Secretary over his appalling online remarks about Muslims.

The problem is that they think this is safer when in reality it’s not because they’ll jump them faster without the needing to think
The original fences slowed right down, made the horse think before jumping now looking like hurdles they’ll just plow into them like a 5f sprint

The national fence bulid has officially started, the boys have put in a great effort today with the 12th and 11th being completed.@AintreeRaces @TheJockeyClub its hard not to start getting excited.

No, I’m not ready to discuss my future in skiing. My focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life. I was already retired for 6 years and have an amazing life outside of skiing. It was incredible to be #1 in the world again at 41 years old and set new records in my sport, but at my age, I’m the only one that will decide my future. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn’t. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I’ll let you know when I decide.

@AtTheRaces @DSkeltonRacing @UttoxeterRaces On the TV you could see Harry Skeleton leaving the horse out on the track and walking away with the saddle- surely it would have been kinder for the horse to wait with him until he was taken away in the horse ambulance

Fingers crossed all is fine!
@DSkeltonRacing provides an update on the old boy West To The Bridge who pulled up in our @UttoxeterRaces opener...

@Stephen78857051 Yes he was my first speedway hero- joined Wolves in 1969 which was my first year - he was flying that year before his crash at Prestatyn and was never quite the same after that. I think he could have been World Champion that year if he hadn’t crashed.
English

@smithyjohnc A very good rider but had a serious crash around 1968/69 & I don't think he was ever the same rider again. I think it was on the Longtrack.

@itvracing The result doesn’t have any importance after the sad death of Envoi Allen
