@dontdelay The ongoing cliff edge created by the withdrawal of the personal allowance plus childcare benefits at £100k is a (nother) market distortion that continues to deliver perverse outcomes. Surely governments must learn this at some point?

Just been speaking to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh who has told @BBCr4today that the US cannot have its cake & eat it. Trump must choose between a ceasefire & allowing its ally Israel to continue the war in Lebanon

@DPJHodges Iran has achieved a rare triple of: 1. Resisting US-led regime change 2. Exposing the limits of US diplomatic and military capabilities, and 3. Uncovered a new source of leverage and money, in Hormuz. Trump has been outwitted, outmanoeuvred and outlasted.

@jonkarl Trump is a moral vacuum...my bet is the IRG will persuade him to side with them against the Iranian people soon...see Putin/Ukriane for the most recent precedent.

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.” “It’s a beautiful thing”

Starmer has immediately flown to the Middle East to emphasise his crucial role in the US-Iran ceasefire, which he didn’t broker, didn’t know was coming, didn’t participate in shaping and had absolutely no part in whatsoever

“The problem is that our country is being run by people who have never run a business. They just don’t understand it.” A Cornish hotel owner. Anyone disagree?

@jonsopel Trump is boxed into a corner. If he follows though, he risks global havoc and US isolation. If he doesn't, he emboldens Iran, plus Russia, China and arguably India. As such, he is being skilfully goaded (ultimately by Xi?) into throwing his best punch.

At least in Europe our civilizational erasure is taking place over years. In Iran it’s going to happen in one night - tonight. This rhetoric is getting wilder and wilder - and if it’s meant to make the Iranian regime cower, it’s not working. Makes them think they’re winning

@ITVNewsPolitics Enough already. He is having to articulate vague and non-committal solutions to a problem he didn't see coming and helped to create. End of.

'The central mission of this government is to get off this rollercoaster of fossil fuels' Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told ITV News the government would 'fight people's corner' and 'stand by people's side' as fears of energy price spikes continue to grow

In this country our media would not let a leader get away with this ridiculous madness…. the White House press corps and US media generally have got to step up…. man up… woman up…. wake up…

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

@JamesMelville He is a net zero zealot who ought to be operating on the fringes. The fact he is front and centre is extraordinary.

'Those people who say new exploration licenses will somehow create huge amounts of energy for us... I mean, they're just wrong' Ed Miliband - stuck in a doom loop of net zero insanity. Because of him, the UK is the largest economy to ban new licenses for North Sea exploration.

@DPJHodges I was initially a supporter of his ability to make decisions and lead - rare qualities in politics now. But he has too many other flaws, which include a sociopathic lack of empathy. As such, he has rapidly become yesterday's man.

@RadioFreeTom Grace of ready compliance was always a better bet for the UK. By resisting Trump "on principle" we gifted him a scapegoat and an excuse to do more political damage (see NATO). Starmer is a lawyer who is still learning that sometimes you can be wrong even when you are right.

It took a almost a century for the United States to build a global system of trade, security, and cooperation, and these guys are going to throw it away because they screwed up and have to save face.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Hegseth indicates reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a core US objective: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."

The British right made a huge bet on the American alliance holding together when they took us out of the EU. Trump has blown up the American alliance and so we head back to Europe

@Simon_Nixon @gideonrachman Our whole approach to US relations recently has been Little Britain's "yes but no but yes but no" gag writ large. It's either a subtle strategy designed to appease a tricky POTUS...or a reflection of the sort of dithering ambiguity that will deliver the worst of all worlds.

@gideonrachman Postponement might have been more elegant; perhaps a way can still be found. Didn't Trump himself post this morning that Britain is about to run out of jet fuel?

"On the advice of His Majesty's Government..." It's a brave prime minister who subjects the King to the humiliation of a state visit to a rogue US president loathed by the vast majority of Britons at a time of transatlantic tension. What possible good can come of this?
The Royal Family@RoyalFamily

🇬🇧🇺🇸 On advice of His Majesty’s Government, and at the invitation of The President of the United States, The King and Queen will undertake a State Visit to the United States of America. Their Majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the UK and the US, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence. 🇧🇲 The King will continue to Bermuda to undertake His Majesty’s first Royal Visit as Monarch to a British Overseas Territory.
