Commentary on here seem pretty quiet about the economic impact of the war in Iran.It's pretty simple.
PB, too, has been successfully hijacked by Farage’s ability to set the media agenda.
If the war isn't over soon, it's pretty likely the world economy will see an oil and gas shock without real precedent. It could make the 70s look like a blip.
And the UK economy will be screwed for another decade (at least).
If it's over by next week, then we might be fine.

Trump casually threatens to use nuclear weapons to end the war "in two seconds" while sitting right next to the Prime Minister of Japan—the only country to ever suffer an atomic bombing. The host calls him a complete sociopath.

Trump moving to blame NATO for the oil prices going up .Well he needs to try and point the blame elsewhere - issue is that it’s not an NATO issue beyond 1 stray missile that hit Cyprus but wasn’t actually sent by Iran merely their proxy

8 public annual Islamic Eid events in Trafalgar Square held during the London Mayor tenure of Boris Johnson.
I can only assume that @NJ_Timothy and @KemiBadenoch were silent at that time either because of hypocrisy, or just that their casual hatred is more acceptable now.

Doubt he really will "remember" as he can't remember what he said half an hour ago about this war.He's awake, and madder than everOh dear did he not take his meds this morning !

Trump: "Without USA, NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! Now that the fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, & we will REMEMBER!"

India is only 80% Hindu, Little Miss Angry.
The hatred of Muslims seals up 99% of the Indian vote for Reform.

OT - The planning was not inept because the US military and State Dept are useless. The failures are down to the whole thing being rushed to distract from other matters (Epstein, the economy, Noem, insert additional failures here).
Yet - the day the war ends guess what comes roaring back onto the front pages. Why it will be Epstein of course followed up by the US economy. So - whatever the consequences - I doubt Trump will willingly rush to end the 'special military operation'.

Sorry I’m high church Catholic Anglican and the type of Christian you are has got zilch to do with your politics or viewpoint and everything to do with the type of church service you prefer.No I am C of E and not a conservative evangelical either but high church Catholic AnglicanAre you a fanatical Christian?You and Bart are fanatical libertarians, why on earth should I care what your image of me and my argument is on this issue?At some poiint perhaps you should realise you have been given several yards of rope now and have more than enough to hang yourself many times over. You are really not doing your image or your arguments any good here.If anyone from Republic were heckling the King at healthcare facilities he is going to in order to get medical treatment, eg heckling him while seeking cancer treatment, then that would be equivalent to heckling women seeking medical treatment.A woman having an abortion is aborting her unborn child, not seeking medical treatment for herself so it is not exactly equivalent even then
That does not happen though, as far as I know. If it did, it would be repugnant.
Around here your viewpoint would have had quiet (and loud) words said if your viewpoint was being said outloud suggesting you went elsewhere
