Starmer has broken the alliance.

It's not what's in the read out.
It's what's missing.

Taken with last weeks reading these
are the first two readouts between
Britain and America during a
live conflict that don't use
alliance language. Ever.

It's literally NEVER happened before.

Nothing about about the UK and U.S.
continuing close coordination.

Not a word reaffirming the importance
of the UK/US alliance special relationship.

And the biggest one all?

The complete lack of a clear line that
they agreed to work closely together.

You can go back and look at every
read-out for the last 80 years
and you will NOT find one
as stone cold as this.

We are in unprecedented territory
and risk losing our closest ally. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

This is an appalling post supporting the bomb attack on civilian shipping near Iran-
These are merchant seamen who deserve to do their job in safety
Had you seen a bombing of a civilian area you criticise it but here you support the attack on civilians- a political commentator!!

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

@shanaka86 Which part of "the Strait of Hormuz is closed" does Thailand not understand. It's an active war zone of which Iran requested, it must be consulted to give authorisation to any vessel. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Grok @grok]

No, this claim is unverified and not supported by any credible sources like Times of Israel, Haaretz, Reuters, or NYT. Recent Iranian missile strikes hit residential areas in Tel Aviv (causing fires/debris damage and one fatality), but no reports mention destruction of the "largest underground shelter" or a leadership bunker there. Shelters remain in active use. The video shows generic urban night fires with responders—not a bunker. Israel instead struck an Iranian leadership bunker in Tehran.

If the government do this then the housing market will close and less tax will be collected @UKLabour

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Reports suggest Labour may introduce capital gains tax on home sales in the Autumn Budget. It sounds like an easy revenue raiser - but the evidence shows it would slash transactions, gum up housing chains, and could even collect less tax overall.

Awful events in New York resulting in loss of life

[FDNY @FDNY]

At approximately 8:20 Saturday night, the FDNY received a call that a boat struck the Brooklyn Bridge. There were 277 people on the boat. 27 people were removed for treatment. 

“Originally, we  had a Brooklyn box out for folks in the water, for a boat in distress. Once the marine units arrived on scene, we knew immediately that we had a serious incident with a boat striking the bridge, so we had reports of people in the water. At that point coming down the FDR, we decided to have a dual command post, both on the Brooklyn side and the Manhattan side. Our marine units got out there, picked up Rescue 2 and Rescue 4 and brought them out to the vessel. They started to remove and treat the aided. They also brought EMS units out to the vessel to start to treat the more seriously injured people on that vessel. They brought them all here to Pier 16, where we set up a casualty collection point and an EMS staging area to assess the victims and send the most serious to the hospital right away. The police, fire and EMS did a tremendous job of working together to get everyone off of that  ship safe,” said Chief of Training Michael Meyers.
