Edinburgh funster and bore, follower of the Hearts and Vice-Commodore (kid you not!) of the esteemed FCYC. And Keir Starmer's all right with me.

I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility. We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

@afneil I respectfully disagree Andrew. The United States NATO allies are too weak and cowardly. Quite simple really.

Can a brown Muslim in British politics ever expect the same basic respect as a white colleague? More and more, I fear the answer is no telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@GerryHassan Islam treats half of its believers as animals. Why do you think this is acceptable, in our UK nation that had to fight so hard for its freedoms for everyone?

The below sentiments represent "British values" according to Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. The death of tolerant British Conservatism confirmed.

What is the point of #PMQs? Starmer does not even engage with the questions, let alone attempt to answer them. He appointed Mandelson knowing he had remained friends with Epstein. He didn’t even bother to as Mandelson about it. Starmer never takes responsibility.

Keir Starmer isn’t being honest about the Mandelson appointment. Why should we believe a word he says about anything?

Another dire set of exchanges between Keir Starmer & Kemi Badenoch. Both weak leaders & poor parliamentarians. Badenoch pursues Starmer on appointing Mandelson & he refuses to answer. Hardly Wilson v Heath, Thatcher v Kinnock or Blair v Cameron. #PMQs

Watch as Stephen Flynn confronts a former assistant to Donald Trump, telling him the murder of children during a strike in Iran was not a 'tragedy' but a 'war crime', while demanding for the US to apologise

I’m Keir Starmer’s biggest critic, but the war of words coming from the White House is childish.

You have a weak and tendentious grasp of history. We were never a few months away from ‘being a German colony’ after the Battle of Britain (which did not involve America). Churchill made clear his endgame from the start: Total Victory. Germany declared War in USA. That’s what brought USA into the European theatre of war. FDR agreed with Churchill’s endgame.
M🌪@22blanco22

People harping on end game make me boil. You guys were few months away from all being a German colony if not for the American. And they’ve kept the peace through the NATO alliance an even having boots on ground in almost every country. Churchill and penning weren’t talking about endgame when they were begging FDR for help and if not for the japanese actions at pearl harbour, Americans won’t be joining the war.

Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC·
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

How on earth is killing thousands of innocent civilians and children ever justified? How would you have felt if the UK government had bombed Ireland into oblivion and justified it because of the IRA bombings?
Graham Linehan@Glinner

@JamesMelville October 7th is plenty justification. Don't commit atrocities if you don't want a response.
