The @BBCNews has now confirmed what some of us warned for years. A Russian diplomat ran a sabotage campaign on British soil: arson against the Prime Minister’s own home, and fake far-right and Islamist groups built to turn us against each other. This is not crime. It is how war is fought by powers who don’t want to expose their hand. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

Tech giants thought they could dictate the rules in Britain. They were wrong. Keir Starmer has done what no previous leader dared. enforcing a total under-16 social media ban and putting British families first ahead of Silicon Valley billionaires. This isn’t just regulation. It’s a clear statement of intent. Backed by 9 in 10 British parents, this independent leadership that listens to real people not corporate lobbyists. This is the leadership Britain deserves.🇬🇧

France taxes Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple 3 percent on their French revenue. Brought in about $700 million last year. Trump's response: eliminate the tax or face 100 percent tariffs on all French wine exports to the United States. All four Silicon Valley companies being protected here publicly backed Trump's return to the White House. Musk just became the world's first trillionaire off the SpaceX IPO the same week BLS reported energy prices wiped out 18 months of American wage gains. A 100 percent wine tariff doesn't hurt Zuckerberg. It hits the American importer, the American distributor, the American restaurant owner trying to hold their margins, and eventually the customer staring at a menu in Fort Wayne wondering why the house Bordeaux costs what it costs now. The G7 is supposed to be a summit of industrialized democracies coordinating on trade and security. Trump arrived threatening the host country's flagship export to defend the domestic tax obligations of his biggest campaign donors. That's the trip. That's the agenda.
Donald Trump is kicking off a summit of major industrialized nations in France by threatening a new trade war with the hosts over its tax on his billionaire backers in Silicon Valley. thedailybeast.com/trump-80-s…

I once asked Henry Kissinger after a press conference what a superpower should do to avoid looking weak. ‘Don’t start a war,’ he said. He meant Vietnam, but it seems particularly relevant now.

It's funny to see @Nigel_Farage talking about VPNs when he told the Comissioner he breached his Register of Interests because, I quote, "I don't do computers".
Whilst the social media ban is well-intentioned, it’s unlikely to work given the mass adoption of VPNs. It will also mean the introduction of Digital ID via the back door. The real answer here is handsets for children with limited features.

Keir Starmer has just sent a message - from the G7 - to Andy Burnham that he can surrender any hope that he will walk away from being prime minister in any kind of smooth or orderly transfer of power. These are his on-camera words “So very many times on my political journey people have said to me ‘it's not possible.’ They said it's not possible to turn the Labour Party around, it’s not possible to win an election, it’s not possible if you do win an election to invest in your public services and stabilise the economy. Wrong every time. And that's why I intend not to walk away from this, but to carry on with what I was elected to do, which is to serve this country and bring back the change that people desperately need in their lives.”

Proof President Trump knows Israel is murdering innocent people, children, and Christians in Lebanon and he’s doing nothing to stop it. He should stop all military and financial aid to Israel, that will stop them from slaughtering thousands of innocents. And Congress must not fuse our military intelligence and supply chain to Israel in the upcoming NDAA.
.@POTUS on Israeli military action in Lebanon: "You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they're not all Hezbollah."

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

BREAKING: JD Vance just accidentally confirmed the DIRTY SECRET about Trump's Iran deal. JD Vance went on CBS News and tried to spin Donald Trump's Iran deal. Instead, he CONFIRMED exactly how badly Trump got fleeced. CBS correspondent Ed O'Keefe asked Vance point-blank whether Iran would have access to a $300 BILLION reconstruction fund. Vance's answer? Essentially yes — "funded by the Gulf Coast coalition so long as they honor their end of the obligation." So let's do the math that the Trump administration desperately doesn't want you to do. Let's compare Trump's Iran deal to the one Republicans spent a DECADE calling the worst deal in American history — Barack Obama's. OBAMA'S IRAN DEAL: • $1.7 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets • In exchange for a 98% reduction in Iran's uranium stockpile • And strict limits capping enrichment at 3.7% TRUMP'S IRAN DEAL: • $24 BILLION in unfrozen assets and cash • A $300 BILLION reconstruction fund • Lifted sanctions • In exchange for an "opened Strait" under Iran and Oman's control Read those numbers again. Trump is handing Iran roughly FOURTEEN TIMES the unfrozen cash Obama did — plus a $300 billion reconstruction windfall — after starting a war that nobody wanted, spiking gas prices, and killing the existing ceasefire because he found negotiations "boring." AND the deal just kicks what happens with Iran's uranium stockpile to future negotiations! Republicans screamed for YEARS that Obama "gave Iran billions" and "appeased the mullahs." They called his deal treasonous. They tore it up. And now their guy is giving Iran an order of magnitude MORE money for a far weaker arrangement. But here's the part Vance accidentally revealed. He warned that Iranian hardliners would "over-emphasize the benefits that Iran gets while under-emphasizing all the things they have to concede." That's PROJECTION. Because it's the TRUMP administration that's been over-emphasizing the "wins" while burying the $24 billion, the $300 billion fund, the lifted sanctions, and the fact that the strategic Strait would fall under Iranian and Omani control. Vance is accusing Iran of doing EXACTLY what his own administration is doing — hiding the real terms of the deal from the public. The man who promised to be tougher than Obama on Iran just handed Tehran the biggest payday in its history — after dragging America into a war first. $1.7 billion versus $324 billion. That's the difference between Obama's "terrible" deal and Trump's "great" one. Someone should mention that. Please like and share!

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved. B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf
