That's why politicians, media, bureaucrats etc struggle with understanding him. He literally doesn't care about the protocol etc. European PM /cabinet minister said anything like that they'd be pilloried and it would be a bigger issue than whatever topic they were referring to.

If we have to spend nearly 200 billion a year in defence (as per new NATO commitment) let's not just shipit to American companies. If this 5% is going to be a thing then develop UK defence companies.

Pretty spot-on analogy in this case.

Some generally sensible (but still comparatively positive) batting is creating a really solid platform to properly attack this 4th innings target

Argument seems to be whether this Beersheba missile hit was launched a couple of minutes before or after ceasefire was supposed to take place. Sorry someone died but is it worth undoing everything for a couple of minutes

Don't think world leaders actually respect him much. Iran, Israel, Russia, China all seem to think they can string him along without making changes Trump "asks" for. He's still the antithesis for most EU Govts. most African countries still going to lean towards Russia and/or China because those...

The battleground there is the 18-30 year olds who voted either Labour or Lib Dem in 2024. It's the ideology age bracket.

Didn't have "to find a gap". Just let the Tories self-implode. Any Govt/party is capable of that.

Ceasefire seems to have managed to last just a few hours. Israel says Iran has launched missiles and will respond.

Says he doesn't think "they'll be shooting at each other ever again". Delusional.

Palestinian Action also said they had damaged the engines with crowbars. Various news sources stating the damage could be between 30&55 million pounds. That would seem to fit the serious damage to property and arguable endangering the lives of this flying or travelling in the planes.

Bat well and this game is still winnable - gone are the days when that would just seem ludicrous. Bat silly tonight and throw a couple of wickets and it could be a grind to survive tomorrow

Don't have any bowlers that can do something when the wicket is dead - maybe Wood.

Suppose his comparatively few followers is due to him & his Govt censoring the internet within Russia and banning ordinary Russians from having access to X. This from someone who threatened to nuke Ukraine, UK and other European countries.

It's cute but the Iranian Parliament can't order anything - down to the religious bods. Plus they share the strait with Oman. Any attacks on shipping in international waters would provoke all sorts of responses.

Obama & Biden bits partly true. Hillary did say that US would bomb Iran if they tried to make a nuclear weapon

So "Drill baby drill" makes more sense now

Not going great so far. Somerset 180/0

Carter wasn't it?

If stops the development of a nuclear weapon it's a short-term success. Regime change is unlikely. So Iran continues its plans to up ballistic missile production as it's seen Israeli defences can be overwhelmed; rearms Hezbollah, Hamas and others and the cycle of violence continues until one...
