@BabonesBhai Pressure on Europe to make some sense and inform Trump that his actions / erratic behaviour is hurting a lot of "friends".

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. This does indeed pose major problems for Australia, Europe, and Asia. It does not pose much of a problem for the United States. Read my analysis of the economics of the Iran war at: macrobusiness.com.au/2026/04/the-ec…

@Razarumi What's happening between the #UAE and #Pakistan ? Why are they demanding repayment of loans to Pakistan? Something to do with Iran or KSA ???

Oil above $110 and the UAE stepping away from OPEC point to a deeper shift. The old cartel logic is giving way to national strategy as the Iran war reshapes incentives. Prices are being driven as much by fear and uncertainty—Hormuz, escalation—as by actual supply. The result is clear: weaker coordination, more volatility, and energy policy now tightly tied to security and geopolitics.

The United Arab Emirates will withdraw from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) this week, as the Iran war roils global energy markets. The price of oil climbed above $110 a barrel for the first time in three weeks today.

@aak1880 Is that @narindertweets still around ? 🥲

Brilliant bit of protesting here! 👏🏻

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

@Razarumi @theRealYLH 🥲 Yeah sure. Start Counting again from 1947.

Pakistan's cultural heritage starts approximately 9,000 years ago from Mehrgarh: the Pakistan Movement was simply the latest layer of this history, but by no means the beginning -- @theRealYLH thefridaytimes.com/22-Apr-2026/in…

@Stanson @EJWoolf @Iromg @TfL @MayorofLondon Spoken like Scargill 🥲

@dipu412 @EJWoolf @Iromg @TfL @MayorofLondon Don’t be a dick.

Slow hand clap for @TfL and @MayorofLondon 👏 due to your tube strikes my little boy's school trip to the British Library has been cancelled. So your workshy/greed is more important than these 5-year-olds and their education. They were all very excited and now they're in tears

Erm....the West started sanctioning Russian Oil....during the Ukraine war. Now it's their turn to do the same to the West. 🥲 👇👇 Russia has increasingly sought to weaponise its energy exports to Europe since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. ft.com/content/3738ba…

@mahnoorrsheikh Trump to Sharif: "The cheque is in the post - just wait for it - ok ? Sharif: Yes SIR. Whatever you say.

Shehbaz Sharif to Trump: Bhai thora pyar muhabbat karein

@taahir_khan @mahnoorrsheikh #Munir knows best. Trust him.....he follows US instructions.

@mahnoorrsheikh V simple answer: Because our rulers do not care about the people. Rulers do not know how the residents of Islamabad live in the current blockade. Even the main vegetable/fruit mandi looks a deserted look. It is nearly 18 km away from the so-called RED ZONE.

Americans are home, Iranis are home. Why have we shut down Islamabad

@SBarrettBar @AllisonPearson 👏👏👏

@BabonesBhai @kartikeya_1975 Very good Q.

Why is Trump willing to alienate longstanding US allies and partners? Because he has (correctly) calculated that he doesn't need them. On #OnPoint with @kartikeya_1975: youtu.be/pbLwfyELxJs?si…
