Another big boost for Putin from his closest ally

The russia-backed Trump regime of the United States is suspending arms deliveries to Finland, Estonia and other front line countries to russian aggression. Trump works for Putin.

Remember the NHS before 15 years of Tory austerity.. Same day GP 95% seen within 4 hours in A&E No queuing ambulances 92% specialist treatment within 18 weeks 85% started cancer treatment within 62 days It’s not the NHS model that’s the issue, it’s our choice of leadership!

Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't. Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks. Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow. Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities. Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.   Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected. Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane. Story on the president's ever-growing number of false claims on big and small matters related to the war – and his triumphant claims about supposed Iranian concessions that we just can't assume are based in reality: cnn.com/2026/04/20/pol…

During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up. While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty. The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered.

Two bits of good news. 1. UK has quietly regained its position as the World’s 5th largest economy. 2. UK unemployment rate in surprise fall to 4.9% in three months to February, figures show. Nobody is complacent about the effect of events in the Gulf.

Key line of Sir Olly Robbins letter to Ctte: "When the PM informed the house that the proper process had been followed in respect of National Security Vetting, he was correct" In other words: He followed process & didn't do anything wrong. PM knows that too.

BREAKING: UK unemployment rate falls to 4.9% in February

We’re “not going to prosecute the predators”??? Nice AG we got here.

Do you think the press is biased against Labour Party?🤔 Repost after voting please.

Netanyahu: Were it not for the Jews, there would be nothing called the United States of America. We brought you into this world, and we can take you out of it.

Which one of the last 4 prime ministers do you think has done the best job as prime minister?🤔 Repost after voting please.

Isabel Oakeshott who you’ll recall screeched like a banshee thrice daily for months on end to get Angela Rayner to resign, is here crying because a right wing newspaper has ran two fully researched and accurate stories about Tice’s ongoing tax shittery

This is astonishing nonsense. Nobody has identified any errors in our report. Tice’s lawyer didn’t even comment. And Tice’s statement translates into English as “you’re right, but I want to talk about something else”.

This is how the BBC publicly corrected a lie by Farage on the Today programme. Very lucky if you ever saw this.

Tory MP Alex Burghart suggesting 18 months isn’t long enough to turn the Tory Party around but the exact same duration *is* more than enough for Labour to turn around a country crippled by 14 years of a government he played a role in #bbclaurak

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.

A prominent US expert confirms the Trump administration is secretly bypassing oversight to forge an alliance with Russia. By using Belarus as a backdoor, Donald Trump is plotting sanctions relief for Vladimir Putin to avoid domestic backlash.

It was good the BBC corrected it. The correction will not be widely seen unless @bbcnickrobinson & the programme share it
