🚨BREAKING: A drone just entered NATO airspace over Romania. Jets in the air. @grok, can you CONFIRM this? How close is NATO to getting pulled into the war?

Toilet rolls? âś… Bottled water? âś… Tinned food? âś… Now to explain to Saint Peter why my last act on Earth was panic buying spaghetti hoops and telling someone on X to fuck off.

When the shit hits the fan whatever form an attack takes who has full confidence in this Labour government to respond quickly and get it right? Personally, I’d have more confidence in the bloody Tweenies.

The problem is people switch off when the Chancellor sits down. They hear the sales pitch; fewer stay for the scrutiny. In my view, this Budget was bloody awful once you looked past the headlines. A favourable first impression doesn’t make it sound economic policy.
A lot of people were predicting the Budget would derail Burnham and Healey

Trump's America First isn't delivering confidence . Households are postponing purchases, businesses are hesitating to invest, and a substantial stock market sell off today are warning signs that Trump cannot afford to ignore. Although he will probably call it all lies

That’s right, let’s spare the poor tyrant’s feelings. He’s only invaded a sovereign country, slaughtered its people and reduced cities to rubble. But apparently Europe answering back is the problem. Ukrainians bury their loved ones while we’re told not to upset the tosser.

Andy Burnham seems to have forgotten that British voters have minds of their own. People remembered the financial crash, Labour’s infamous “there is no money” note, and the austerity years that followed. Working families felt ignored, squeezed and abandoned. For many, Brexit was a political kick in the bollocks for Westminster a demand to be heard and to take back control. Then came years of parliamentary wrangling over delivering the result. Don’t use the Kremlin to dismiss voters’ grievances or insult their intelligence. Westminster needs to answer for its own failures. Stop talking bollocks and start listening.

Trump roughly 90 weeks down, 119 to go. If he brings on Armageddon, expect a beautiful mushroom cloud nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Then he’ll blame Biden, demand a Nobel Peace Prize and complain the Four Horsemen never thanked him.

Well, what a surprise. Trump announces an “energy ceasefire” and Russia strikes a Ukrainian power plant. Putin’s promises are worthless. Ukraine needs protection, and Russia needs consequences. Another triumphant social media post won’t stop the bombs.

Trump mistakes bluster for strength and concessions for peace. To weaken our alliances while Russia wages war is to imperil the freedom they defend. Great nations must keep faith with their friends and ensure that aggression brings the aggressor no reward Winston Churchill

The truth about X’s moderation. Yesterday, I called for Europe to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles to strike Russian diesel stockpiles. Hours later, I received a “violent speech” notification. Earlier this week, I reported racist abuse over my support for Kemi Badenoch on three separate occasions. Each report came back with no violation found. Supporting Ukraine gets flagged. Racist abuse gets a pass. How is that consistent?
