If the Iran deal is “over”, President Trump should unleash the Armed Forces of the United States to Finish the Job: Destroy their nuclear and missile programs, end support for terrorist proxies and restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.🇺🇸https://t.co/liKRY8OXmB

@annemcelvoy A lot of words but no information. The shape of things to come?

@BBCYork Vacuous nonsense. Was Burnham really the person who did more than sort the buses there. I think not.

@Ipsos_in_the_UK @BloombergUK Funny how these polls never ask anyone I know. Reckon they circulate a questionnaire around the office…

@ellyfyork You’ve been quiet. All OK?

@annemcelvoy Anne, listening to your podcasts, you’ve always tried to be fair to Labour but surely this hopeless, performative and expensive sodding about is even testing your balance?

@Mykuhl No, I did read the thread and absorbed your statistics. Given Stokes resignation hours earlier I’m sceptical his innings was a tactical initiative based on your statistics but more like two fingers to the ECB. Either way losing top order wickets prior to Day 5 was a mistake.

@AriXZone @macastel3 I’ve owned (and still do) several BMW’s and their performance, design and reliability is second to none. Posting ignorant bile is wasting everyone’s time…

All these young girls carrying around these giant fancy water bottles. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, I don’t think I drank water until I was 30

Iran will never follow through on any MOU.
Iran will never agree to a deal.
Iran will never give up its nuclear ambitions.
Iran will never voluntarily give up control of the Strait.
Iran will never stop supporting terrorists proxies.
Iran will never be a normal country under this regime.

Volkswagen aims to axe up to 100,000 jobs in a “profound” strategic shift to counter trade tariffs, stagnating markets and, above all, fierce competition from China.
It will cut one in six of its 660,000 jobs worldwide and production at four German factories — the largest restructure in automotive industry history.
China is out to do to Europe’s car industry what it’s already done to its solar panel industry — destroy it.
Judging from the pathetic response of the EU so far to this threat (the UK is equally pathetic) it’s likely to succeed.
China also aims to dominate batteries, wind power machinery, machine tools, Pharma and chips — with its mercantilist ‘industrial policy of everything’.
China 2.0 poses a far bigger threat to European industry than China 1.0 over 20 years ago. Some forecasts predict over 50% of what’s left of Europe’s manufacturing base will be gone in a decade.

@CrewkerneMan You’re right about his better appeal and ‘touch’ than Starmer but that’ll not sustain him if the policies and track record fail. He has a short period of time to make an impact but also he has little ‘baggage’ at the moment.
