We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

THIS is a straightforward lie.

Those who send their children to a private school pay twice, first for the private school, and then for state schools through their taxes, while making no demand on the state system.

Game over.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Run down the checklist of everything Vladimir Putin would want an American president to do.

-Go after our allies.
-Praise our adversaries.
-Unsanction Russian oil
-Pull 5,000 troops out of Germany.

Trump is doing every single thing on that list.

His tariffs are illegal and the war in Iran can’t seem to end.

That’s the scorecard. Make of it what you will.

When the Defence Secretary quits because he thinks the Prime Minister is making the country less safe, how can Starmer possibly survive?
His govt is collapsing before our eyes. He should resign.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Labour's own people are telling you everything you need to know.

Wes Streeting: Reeves has no plan for growth.

Pat McFadden: all Labour want to do is tax more to pay more benefits.

John Healey: Starmer won't fund our armed forces.

Jess Phillips: PM only acted to protect women and girls when it needed to save his own skin over Mandelson.

A government turning in on itself.

Love that Nigel’s big “gotcha” is mostly a screenshot of the office address and letter heading 😂

Let’s help him out by highlighting the actual contents he didn’t bother to read.

For those who prefer facts to rage, our detailed legal analysis on PSED is in the thread below 👇

[Acyn @Acyn]

Greene: Trump hasn't brought any accountability against any of the Democrats that he campaigned and went so hard against. None of the none of the Democrats on the the January 6th committee have been held accountable. No one has been prosecuted for the stolen election of 2020. No one has been held accountable for all the crimes against humanity for covid. 

But he has targeted four Republicans harder than he has ever come against any Democrat. And that's myself, Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert. Why? Because we fought to release the Epstein files. And I think that is the story that people need to pay attention to, because that tells more truth about Donald Trump than it will ever tell you on truth social.

Truer words never said. 👏👏👏

Privatisation of the water industry has been a fraud, the greatest act of criminality ever perpetrated against the people of England and Wales.

[Army Media 🇺🇦 @armyinformcomua]

Ukraine shot down Russian Kalibr cruise missiles. Then took them apart — board by board, component by component.

What Ukraine's Ministry of Defence @DefenceU found inside should be uncomfortable reading for Western regulators and sanctions enforcement agencies.

More than 80–90% of the guidance system electronics: foreign-made. Every part marked. Every manufacturer identified. 🧵👇

@SuellaBraverman FGS! Continuing to lie about this isn't a good look. We have the receipts regarding Kemi's record on DEI starting with this from six years ago. The Conservatives set out their immigration offering including leaving the ECHR back in February 25.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

One other note on @POTUS's flameout.
@kwelkernbc asked the questions that any good reporter should.
Good for her for plowing through the @POTUS's rage and bluster to try & elicit answers.
It's not "crooked" to ask straightforward Qs.
And it's not strong to whine and walk out.

Here's the Republican Party's own ad attacking @KenPaxtonTX's record on crime that they also no longer want you to see.

Trump on Meet the Press : “I didn't guarantee no war."

Play the tape:

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

One very telling moment from that Trump interview on NBC that I keep thinking about —-

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

ICYMI: The New York Times Asked Tucker Carlson About His Comments Suggesting Trump Could Be The Antichrist.

Tucker responded:

"I have not said that."

Then he said those words "never left my lips."

Except they did.

On video.

On his own show.

You can debate whether Tucker was right.

You can debate whether he was wrong.

What you can't debate is whether he said it.

Because we have the tape.
