@AnthonyAinsdale Why isn’t the similar Tata run plant also running into trouble? Perhaps Ratcliffe should have invested in its upgrading rather than dodging tax in Monaco

Our salt processing plant in runcorn is going bust due to sky high energy costs so we'll import salt even thou we have a never ending quantity of it. It's totally insane! Net zero is destroying all our industry. Criminally reckless.

If Trump renamed the Strait of Hormuz after himself, what would people actually call It? 🤔😏

@FellaLeeds Yep. Well said. 🙂👍 What did Trump and Netanyahu expect from an Iranian ally? This whole illegal conflict has no strategy, no clear and stable objectives, no plan for the process and no defined desirable outcome. And Houthis are most probably now going to close the Red Sea.

@jcartlidgemp Thatcher sold our North Sea to her corporate mates. Norway didn’t And doesn’t need much of the North Sea product for electricity as they have significant hydroelectric capacity And a smaller population How on earth did you survive childhood?

How is Norway able to fund such a Defence budget when we aren’t? One factor is they’re still drilling in the North Sea - we buy their fossil fuels from the same basin we deny ourselves the economic benefit from. Madness.
Navy Lookout@NavyLookout

🇳🇴Norway has decided to further increase its defence spending by 115 NOK (c£8.9Bn) to 3.5% GDP by 2035. This guarantees funding of 5 or 6 Type 26 frigates as well as 6 Type 212CD submarines.

@haynesdeborah @night_waker Petulant and pathetic man-child whining that other countries don’t want their people to die for the madness surrounding the illegal war and American and Israeli imperialism. There’s a surprise.

🚨Crisis time for NATO🚨 Donald Trump effectively says the US will no longer defend its NATO allies because they didn’t help him against Iran. “We would have always been there for them, but now based on their actions I guess we don’t have to be, do we?” “Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us? They weren’t there for us”
Department of State@StateDept

PRESIDENT TRUMP: NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?

@RepVanOrden Morally bankrupt, principle free and pathetically weak is how the USA is now seen by the rest of the sensible world. The fact that it has been achieved by one lunatic man in less than a year is a staggering reflection of your collective Magat stupidity.

For the first time in nearly 25 years, a bipartisan group of five Members of Congress sat down with the Russian Duma to engage in direct discussions on peace and bilateral relations. We have a responsibility to maintain open lines of communication and pursue dialogue, even in times of tension. I remain committed to continuing these conversations and supporting President Trump’s commitment towards peace.

Rubio: Zelensky is lying about the US being ready to provide security guarantees if Ukraine surrender Donbas. Also Rubio: The US security guarantees will come after the war ends, and to end the war, Ukraine must surrender Donbas, as Putin demands.

Trump: “When I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars… I do it the best. I stopped wars that nobody thought—President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one and this one.’”

@dave43law Well, they voted for Trump to be president …..twice. So someone with nuclear levels of bonkers, like lettuce Liz, is going to appear super intelligent and rational. Best that she stays in America in my view. 🙂

@DrJStrategy @TrentTelenko Before the USA illegally attacked Iran nobody gave a horse’a arse about these islands (documented as being part of Persia in 12th century) Now the USA, the most globally coercive country in the world, wants to occupy them in order to protect against …..coercion. Oh please….

Food for thought. On November 29, 1971, the world barely noticed when Iranian forces seized three specks of land at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz: Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb. For the UAE and many in the Gulf, this was never a technical border quarrel. It was an act of occupation and a permanent scar. Today, a comfortable consensus has formed in foreign-policy salons and on Wall Street that the Trump administration has no strategic vision for the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran is “winning” the confrontation in the Gulf by default. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is hard to believe how casually many of these critics ignore history, including the way control of financing, insurance, and maritime chokepoints has repeatedly reshaped great-power influence. Half a century after the shah’s grab, the question surrounding these islands is no longer simply “who owns them,” but “who secures the most critical chokepoint in the global oil trade.” With President Trump moving to provide American-backed insurance for ships transiting the Gulf, Washington is displacing the remnants of British dominance in maritime insurance and risk. Whoever insures the traffic does not just collect premiums; they hold a de facto veto over it and gain visibility into every meaningful cargo, what moves, in what volume, from where and to where. This emerging architecture gives the United States something London once enjoyed: an indirect presence in every Gulf port that depends on uninterrupted access to global insurance and reinsurance. The logical next step is geographic as well as financial. Returning Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb to the United Arab Emirates would not only correct a historical wrong against Arab inhabitants whose ties to these islands long predate the shah’s gunboat diplomacy. It would also provide the legal and political foundation for a formal U.S.–UAE security arrangement on the islands themselves. Critics will bristle at the idea of a sustained American military presence on these rocks. But the alternative is not some neutral, demilitarized utopia. The alternative is that the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of the world’s seaborne oil flows, remains vulnerable to coercion, sabotage, and blockade. A long-term U.S. presence, at Emirati invitation, would anchor a security order built around free navigation, reliable energy flows, and clear red lines against maritime blackmail. This is not just about three islands. It is about restoring the principle that territory cannot be seized by surprise and held indefinitely by force, and about extending a coherent maritime strategy from Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb. If the United States is serious about securing the arteries of global trade for decades to come, then correcting the injustice of 1971 and placing these islands under Emirati sovereignty, with an American flag flying alongside the UAE’s in a carefully structured basing agreement, is not an overreach. IMHO, It is the minimum credible foundation for a stable Gulf and the clearest rebuttal yet to those who insist that America has no plan.
