Something fishy about this sob story (1) The photos are stock shots taken in 2012 and 2014, available from Shutterstock and Alamy—links below. (2) There’s no trace of bankers Al and Alexandra Moy anywhere other than the Telegraph 🤔...

Apologies for returning to a story from nearly a year ago but IPSO have concluded their investigation into this story and found that the Daily Telegraph made it all up.

But you have just spent ages saying millions of eligible immigrants should not be allowed to vote!

Make up your ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ mind!

No, no, you're getting it all wrong. Millions of people will never have their votes taken away from them again because Nigel will have taken them away already.

Our bases are under attack.

British citizens are in danger across the Middle East.

Our allies are removing a regime responsible for planning 20 lethal attacks on Britain.

And this is the Government's response.

We have to act in our national interest.

UK to send air defence destroyer HMS Dragon to Cyprus, PM says

The UK is increasing its air defences at its base in Cyprus by deploying helicopters with anti drone capabilities, the prime minister says.

Keir Starmer says the air defence destroyer HMS Dragon will also be sent to the region.

US warns of Iranian attack on Saudi oil city as Trump tells Tehran it's 'too late' to talk

Trump: You have a terrible mayor of London. Terrible. He's an incompetent guy. You have Sharia courts adjudicating law.

Over on Scrutable, user "Grumble" observed that he thought Starmer's approach has probably been helped by him having been a top lawyer and his attempts to stay within international law.

He finished with this rather good line

"As PM, Starmer is a very good Foreign Secretary"

What is faintly amusing is that the right-wing loonies think being criticized by Trump is a bad thing.

Yapping Trumpian lapdogs: today's equivalent to imperialist, capitalist running dogs.

Anyway, it's nice to see that Trump is a student of Mao: political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Totalitarians of the world unite! You have nothing to lose...

 

[Andy_Ross]

Has Donald condemned Trump’s vile outburst against our country yet? No???

Starmer knows what happened to Blair when he backed the last illegal US war.
He's not going to make the same mistake.

What happened? He seems to have ended up as a multi-millionaire.

Can you explain how it fundamentally differs from the plan you had from 2010 to 2024?
