Did Netanyahu just say, “May God bless this covenant between America and Israel”?

Victory laps at Netanyahu’s coven, while Trump sits there smugly.
No one dares ask the obvious,
Why did it take the world’s most powerful nation this long to bring Israeli hostages home?

Off to Leeds this afternoon and...

Since it's Margaret Thatcher's 100th birthday, I may feel compelled to share the true story of the bizarre half-hour I once spent in her company drinking champagne, which ended slightly unfortunately.

Remind me to bore you with it if you are coming along!

Massive news for Leeds.

Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, David Beckham, Barack Obama, Kylie Jenner, and Justin Bieber may all not be coming to your city on Monday... but I am .. and I promise not to sing.

So come along if you're free.

So it now appears the woman Farage and Gill were so close to has a direct link not only to Putin’s “Man in Ukraine” Medvedchuk, but his predecessor as President, Medvedev

These are top Russian agents.

Morgan is embarrassing here.
He’s not remotely interested in answers… only Gotchas!
@zackpolanski.bsky.social has his measure.
All Morgan can do, when the argument is escaping him, is talk over Zack & move the conversation on to culture wars in a desperate attempt to score points.
We see you, Piers!

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

It's taken more than a year for Starmer to state the obvious, that Brexit has wounded our economy. It has also damaged our int' influence, and taken opportunities from our young. Now he needs to get on with the long process of leading us back to Europe
