Americans are being lied to on an industrial scale
Sen. Ossoff: You are requesting $68B for the department, correct?
Hegseth: $67 billion.
Ossoff: And yesterday, US forces struck Iran.
Hegseth: Yes.
Ossoff: Nearly 5 months ago, you said Iran's military was "destroyed" and "made combat ineffective." Was that accurate?

“I don’t know why the President of the US behaves like this toward his allies. It’s not the first time. It is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and the US, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence.” - Italy PM Giorgia Meloni

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Just the tip of the Putin corruption iceberg and not just in the UK
Clear legal evidence Putin's Russia was bribing some UKIP/Reform leaders during the lead up to the Brexit deal. So there is a clear need for an independent investigation into where UKIP got all the money that it used to promote its well funded leave campaign.

Palestinians are still being systematically starved in Gaza even as ceasefire talks are underway this week. “It is a choice that Israel has, whether to feed the people or whether to starve them,” says Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The IDF has just fired warning shots at Diplomats on an approved visit to the West Bank. The delegation was from China, Japan, Mexico and several EU countries, including France, Spain and Italy. Netanyahu and his far right government are totally out of control

Five years ago as the UK left the EU to remain living in Greece I needed a Residency permit, private health cover and at least €5,000 in the bank. Fortunately it was OK for me but how many other Brits have had to leave their European homes because of a failed Brexit?

As I wake up to a beautiful sunny morning here in Athens it dawned on me that 75 million American adults have elected a man as their President who steals and cons for personal financial gain, let alone commits sexual assault for his own personal satisfaction - has the USA gone stark raving mad?
