If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill."

He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

Reeves: "Nigel Farage may be playing the friend of the workers now. But some of us are old enough to remember when he described Liz Truss' mini-budget as the best Conservative budget since the 1980s. They've learnt nothing."

There are now 1,800 anti-Trump rallies planned across the US on June 14 when he’ll be wasting $45 million on his Soviet-style military masturbation.

Starmer needs to unequivocally tell the British people that Brexit has made them immeasurably poorer and that Farage has been the chief advocate of their losses .

Remember this one. In five years, or ten, or twenty. When we're a weird, dirty, backward nation that still sets fire to stuff, and places like China and India start to ask us why.

[Columbo, pauses and turns around] Just one more thing, Mr. Trump. It's probably nothing. But you said many times that the exporting country pays the tariff. Not the American taxpayer. Well, if that's the case, then why would you exclude smartphones?

As anyone who follows football knows, the minute someone puts out a statement saying everything is fine, you know it’s not fine.

The White House just did that:

A statement titled 'why President Trump’s tariffs are necessary': Trump “remains undeterred in his mission to make America wealthy again”.
