Would you believe it. Burnham even has to pinch what Keir asked for. Does he not have an original thought in his head? Yet he wouldn’t let Keir have 2. I want to explode with fury at his arrogance ##10yearkeir

Jump In! We about to take a Ride, BUCKLE UP SON!
The clown is at it again, The United States sold $3.7 billion of Venezuela's oil this April alone. After earthquakes killed more than 900 Venezuelans this week, it offered the survivors $150 million.

Since the January raid that hauled Nicolás Maduro to a courtroom in New York, the administration has treated the country's crude as a prize.

In April alone it moved $3.7 billion of it, most of it shipped to the United States. The executive order his lawyers drafted calls that money Venezuela's "sovereign property, held in custody by the United States." Held in custody by the people now deciding how little of it flows back.

Days before the ground opened, Trump bragged that the operation had already earned its costs back twenty-eight times over. He said Venezuelans were "happy." He said they "have smiles."

Then the towers came down across La Guaira and Caracas, the strongest quakes the country has seen since 1900.

They hit on a national holiday, so families were home when the walls fell. No heavy machinery arrived, so volunteers dug their neighbors out of the concrete by hand.

Soccer players were buried in their apartments. In Catia La Mar, survivors pitched tents on a baseball diamond because the buildings they fled might still come down. The toll passed 920 and kept rising, tens of thousands unaccounted for beneath the slabs.

Against all of that, the government holding billions of their oil money sent $150 million, routed through UN agencies and church charities.

One month of the crude he controlled in April was worth about twenty-four times the relief he offered the wounded. The country running the pumps could have erased the entire loss with money that already passed through its hands and never felt the dent.

It sent a fraction of a single month's haul and a press release.

It is the arithmetic of a landlord who quietly empties your savings account, then, the day your roof caves in, slides a few of your own coins back under the door and waits to be thanked. The oil keeps moving into accounts no outsider is allowed to audit. The bodies keep coming out of buildings nobody is rebuilding.

At the price America is getting for their crude, $150 million is barely a single day's worth. They were handed one day of their own oil and told to bury their dead with it. You steal their oil , made 3.7 billion off of it and gave them chump change in return! You clowns circus will be ended in November when that blue wave hits, MIC DROPPED🎤))✌🏾

Peter Doocy claims "people are still coming out" to Trump's 250th fair -- even as the camera shot shows clearly behind him that almost nobody is there 😂😂😂

[Keith Nieland @KeithNieland]

One thing I have learned today. @ChrisMasonBBC really does not like being held to account by TV licence payers who pay his salary. #newswatch

[Hugh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @HughEdw31897368]

Mason, Kuenssberg and Bruce alone earn well over £1 million combined a year. With the backing of Robbie Gibb they have destroyed the BBC’s reputation for impartiality. In two years @lisanandy has done nothing to address this bias. Why?
Because she’s Team Burnham.

[Jennifer Robinson @welshroots]

So REFRESHING to have Victoria Derbyshire on Laura Kuenssberg show #bbclaurak
No SNEERING , just taking the job in hand seriously and treating people firmly but respectfully

Derbyshire needs to replace Kuenssberg who needs to STAND DOWN for a better journalist

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

NOTE to Lucy Powell.
Labour's Deputy Leader
You can try to persuade as much as you like- by gaslighting during an interview with the light of false sincerity in your eyes #bbclaurak
The fact is.
Burnham as PM, will always be viewed through the murky prisim of how he got there.

[Bob Fielding @fielding_bob]

Have just watched #BBCNewswatch and Chris Mason being interviewed in response to numerous complaints.He finds it offensive what people are saying. I'll tell you what Weasel, it's you who is offensive trying to justify the rubbish that your dept put out. Sack Mason.

[Tony Patterson @tonypatt2000]

When a journalist becomes the news, it's usually time to go. Starmer went because he lost the confidence of his party. Mason has lost the confidence of BBC licence payers!

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

I'm hearing that @ChrisMasonBBC said he was "offended" by suggestions of bias against Keir Starmer and this Labour gov.

I'm offended that I pay your wages and you have done everything in your power to bring the government down.

[Pam Shephard @pambizbuster]

@digitalsunshine Yes @ChrisMasonBBC it was offensive and you cannot deny your part in it
You have been reporting against him for months

[Jake James #FBPE #RejoinEU #FBPA @MFIJake]

@digitalsunshine Weasel Chris Mason and Jon Kay openly posed for celebratory selfies in Downing Street on the morning Keir Starmer resigned. That was the finale of their sustained campaign to ridicule and bring down a democratically-elected PM. Denials are futile.

#BBCBreakfast #BBCNews

[Really? @FezzieRose]

@digitalsunshine What I find offensive @ChrisMasonBBC is you behaving like this when a good and honourable man is about to lose the job he’d been elected to do. Many of us cried and were deeply upset. You? Laughing and joking. What a disgusting way to behave. About time the @BBC sacked you.

[Lord Henry Root 🤡 💙 #JOHNSONOUT @GorgonsonnSon]

@digitalsunshine @foxfeeder_uk @BBCNews have been one of the main culprits in sowing and spreading the rumours that led to the resignation of @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner

Indeed, the @BBCNews have been complicit in this since July 2024, especially @ChrisMasonBBC, @bbclaurak, @hzeffman

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0

North America's newest international bridge is finished.
The roads are painted.
The customs booths are staffed.
The lights are on.
But not a single car can use it.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion (CAD) project connecting Michigan and Ontario, was built to ease congestion, lower shipping costs and speed up the movement of goods between the United States and Canada.

It carries enormous importance.
More than 25% of all trade between the two countries crosses at Detroit.

That means car parts.
Food.
Medical supplies.
Manufacturing equipment.
Products that eventually end up in supermarkets, dealerships and businesses across North America.
The bridge was supposed to make all of that faster and cheaper.
Instead, it sits empty.

Why?
Just before it was due to open, the Trump administration reportedly refused to issue the final federal approvals needed to connect it to Interstate 75.

Trump then demanded that Canada hand over a 50% ownership stake in the bridge, despite Canada paying for its construction under a long-standing international agreement.

Then another detail emerged.
Just weeks before the bridge was blocked, Matthew Moroun, whose family owns the aging Ambassador Bridge that currently dominates the crossing, donated $1 million to a pro-Trump Super PAC.

The new Gordie Howe Bridge was specifically designed to compete with that decades-old private monopoly.
Now the new bridge sits empty while the old bridge continues collecting tolls.

The administration insists its actions are about protecting American interests.
Others see something very different.
Because this isn't just about a bridge.

Every week it remains closed delays more efficient freight movement, adds costs to supply chains and creates more uncertainty for manufacturers already struggling with higher prices.
Those costs don't disappear.
They eventually reach businesses.
Then consumers.
Then your wallet.

The bridge is reportedly costing its operators around $7 million CAD every week in lost revenue while it sits unused.
It was built to move people and goods.

Instead, it has become another political bargaining chip.

And once again, ordinary people are left paying for Washington's games.
