    Why would Victoria Derbyshire go straight for "work and infidelity" when Nigel is asked a very personal question about his marriage breaking down? Quite evident to me that he meant the pressures of the job – nothing about his response suggested he was referring to playing away. I wonder if she'd have done that to a female.

    Nigel is a very well liked person, more than his opponents will ever know.

    Whoever this “waitress” was, she treated Nigel with an incredible amount of rudeness. She attacked him while treating Ms Johnson with kid gloves. Both are journalists. This is why many people in the UK don’t watch the BBC and are tired of their tax dollars going to them. They need to be fair and balanced. ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAIR to those who disagree. I admire his honesty about it all during this episode. Despite the nosey waitress, he comported himself well and took it all in stride. She made a fool of herself, not him.

    I thought it went swimmingly. How refreshing to see the breaking of bread and the sharing of cups in the midst of political disagreement. Lovely content.

    In a UK outside the EU, Holyrood and a scottish FM now have far more clout, because the EU legislation is no longer distorting the legislative relationship between Holyrood and Westminster. But the SNP are not interested in exploiting this enormous advantage. Narrow-minded little Scotlanders.

    If Farage had not come out with that migrants poster in the middle of the campaign, Brexit would have got 53% or 54% of the vote.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
