Trump’s diesel deal with Putin makes no sense (it’s also immoral since it will fund the ailing Kremlin war machine).
The US has no need of Russian diesel. It already refines more than enough for domestic demand — with 1.5m b/d for export.
Russia has no diesel to export. Ukrainian drones have taken out a third of Russian refining capacity, turning Russia into a net importer of diesel (from India).
The volumes involved are derisory. The initial Russian offer = 2.2m barrels. The US consumes 3.5m b/d.
The price of diesel at the US pump is between $6/6.50. That won’t change before the midterms. The deal does nothing to help Trump in these elections.
But it bolsters Putin and undermines Ukraine.

Let international journalists into Gaza to find out how ‘moral’ you’ve really been, or pipe down with the journalism lectures.
Spread lies, get called out and then try to change the topic. Quite the journalist you are.
How about you take a look at the evidence then get back to us? idf.il/en/mini-sites/the-pre…

Hussam Abu Safiya, one of the Palestinian doctors reportedly at risk of being killed under Israel’s alleged “hostage execution order,” along with 95 other doctors.
Don’t let him be killed.
Repost this.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.
RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

A current Labour peer taking a senior job at Palantir at the very moment the government is under pressure to scale back Palantir’s involvement in the British state and increase AI regulation. Such blatant vested interests need to be removed from our Parliament. If people want to go and make loads of money lobbying for big US AI companies fine - but they should hand back their peerage rather than being allowed to vote on legislation affecting those same companies. It reeks.
After six wonderful years at UK Music, I'm joining Palantir UK as Senior Vice President.
Palantir is the most interesting company on the planet, doing work of real consequence: helping Britain and its allies defend themselves, helping police protect our citizens and helping NHS staff get patients treated and home sooner.
London is comfortably its largest centre outside the US, home to more than one in six employees, the highest proportion among the world's largest technology companies.
We have challenges. Some criticism is propaganda. Some raises legitimate questions about large technology companies and sovereign control. Both require answers.
Part of my role will be to correct false information while working with our engineers to ensure privacy, security and respect for sovereignty are at the heart of everything we do.

I wrote last year about the ‘Integrity gap’ in UK politics as part of the Robin Cook memorial lecture.
“The public see a political class whose proximity to wealth has corroded its independence and whose language of public service has become a hollowed-out ritual.”

9 dead now, one critical in a matter of days - all due to 'turf wars'
Sickening thing is the lack of reaction from Reform - the cosplay Home Secretary used the deaths only to attack the Government on crime - he did not even express sorrow for the police families - just his anger....
We all know that if the youths had been of a different ethnicity he would have published three books on X alone by now
He described himself as a lethal electoral threat - he is to the well being of the country
Middlesbrough 'risks descending into carnage' after 'gangland revenge house fire murder' of seven-year-old girl and her aunt 'linked to A66 crash that killed five youths and two police officers'

What has the BBC ever done for me ……
Impose and force on me an irrelevant boutique fascist political party called Reform, and report their policies as fact.

Dear Mr Macron & the People of France,
We the British people, apologise for the idiots that are ReformUK. They are a minority party with 7 MPs who are rejects from other parties who embarrass our country, and who are under investigation for financial corruption.
Thank you 🙏🏻
