This is the caliber of officer the Air Force has been commissioning over the past few years. Is this the kind of person we want leading Airmen in the force? @SecWar@USW_PR_HONTata@SecAFOfficial
I would hope that most people in this House are against a federal Europe. Otherwise, what is the point in standing as candidates at the next election only to come back here and propose to handover all your powers to represent your constituents to another parliament?
We should not let those who support a federal Europe pretend that they are somehow more European than the rest of us. They're not. They're just more federal.
There is nothing specifically European about a federal structure. Indeed, the opposite. It is the nation state which is European.
[...]
The true Europeans are those who base themselves on Europe's history and traditions rather than on constitutional blueprints.
Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.
Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.
So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.
“Roger Moore’s recitation of Rudyard Kipling’s Tommy is as powerful today as ever. A timeless reminder of how quickly society forgets the men and women who stand ready to defend it, until they’re needed.”
This is such a powerful and moving recital from the late Roger Moore.🇬🇧🙏
Pope Leo XIV has told people to GET OFF THEIR PHONES when they are with their families:
'When the family is together, it is not enough for everyone simply to sit there, each looking at his or her own phone. It is very important to learn how to talk with one another, to have conversations, to enjoy being together, to play together, and also to pray together. Even if we can have the Bible or some prayers on our phones, God does not want to look at our phones; God wants to look at our hearts and at our lives.
So we need to be free from these things which, in themselves, can be entertaining, helpful, and even good, but it is far more important to develop our humanity through friendship, conversation, and all the activities you are doing here during these weeks'
Turkey OCCUPIED Gaza for 400 yrs. Never offered independence.
Turkey MASSACRED 1.5 million Armenian Christians. To this day, never acknowledged the genocide.
Turkey was NEUTRAL & PROFITED from war against greatest evil in human history—German Nazism.
Turkey has OCCUPIED 37% of #Cyprus since 1974.
Turkey has SUPPRESSED aspirations of tens of millions of #Kurds.
And we’re supposed to take morality lessons from @RTErdogan & company?
Give me a break!
It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years.
(And George, thanks for the mints!)

Italy's Meloni responds to Trump:
President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless. As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.
My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done. That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister.
Italy remains a sovereign nation. In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
