The Tories were weak, no question – but this isn't their mess. They didn't pull the Navy out of the Indo-Pacific. They didn't hand away the Chagos. They didn't wave through a Chinese fortress in London. That's Starmer. Labour's in charge now, and the decline has accelerated, not slowed. Blaming yesterday's government for today's decisions is how this lot dodge responsibility. Britain's being hollowed out in real time, and it's happening on Labour's watch.
Trump claims Iran's nuclear sites were "completely and totally obliterated." That might be Trumper hyperbole. But it does look as if Iran’s ability to build a Bomb has been seriously undermined.
This is an historic development — undermining Iran’s clerical-military dictatorship even more than it’s already been undermined. It’s lost its proxies (Hamas and Hezbollah), it’s lost Syria, it’s lost control of its own skies, it’s lost its nuke capabilities, it’s lost most of its top commanders and nuke scientists, it lost the Iranian people a long while ago. How long can it survive?
@DowneyJD You sat next to me tonight! 🙌
Couldn’t fangirl over you as Husband was sitting opposite me and you were sat opposite GL….
Anyway, great night, thank you. Staff and food excellent. We have just left. Congratulations! All accolades well deserved 🌟
@TheSimonEvans Must be a good book you can recommend to fill the 11pm void? 😜
Missed it tonight. And will do for a long time. Genuinely sad. Was some light humour for me before bedtime. Wit and wisdom all mixed in - it’s a great skill. Thank you
@PaulCoxComedy@GBNEWS@LeoKearse I loved everything about Headliners at 11pm - even laughed at those amateur adverts… esp the gold one with the woman who mouths “ooooooooohhh!” whilst rubbing her hands together with glee! 🤣

@DowneyJD Jeremy King does this at Arlington.
On another note, and reference one of your previous posts, I telephoned Town today. Lady answered (yes!). Table booked. Admittedly an early one as well (sorry). BUT it’s because we are staying to drink in the bar afterwards (not sorry!).
Today is VE Day a day to remember all those who sacrificed themselves so we can live in freedom today we just can’t thank them enough Victory in Europe Day is so important and we must continue to remember them #veday80thanniversary#VeDay80#VeDay
Labour politicians complaining about taking welfare off British disabled people while having absolutely no problem at all with splurging £5.4 billion every year—or £14 million a day—on people who break our laws by entering Britain illegally on small boats 🤡
Such a wonderful generation, and what a contribution in the white heat of the post war economy to that which we take for granted today. Per Ardua, thank you John.
The reason I think Rupert Lowe will be the next person forced out of Reform is because he's in tune with the membership and he listens to them. As such, he becomes the wishing well for members who want Reform to take a more robust stance. He is then obliged to press Farage on certain issues, doing so from a position of strength and popularity. Farage won't like this one bit. Lowe then has two choices. He either pipes down and toes the line, or a rift opens up between him and Farage, and Farage will get rid of him. I doubt Lowe is the kind of man to be told to shut up.
@SkyNews There is a rape reported EVERY HOUR in London.
Knife crime rampant, muggings everywhere, moped gangs rule the streets.
SHUT UP about Brexit @SadiqKhan, and DO YOUR JOB.

No reason why the #KNIVESDOWN message cannot be incorporated into PSHCE lessons.
@educationgovuk
should give guidance to schools and implement urgently.
When I say education, that is specific assemblies or classes on the consequences of knife crime, the victims, prison cells etc..
Take them once in their school life to a prison, get in bereaved families, ex criminals etc
