It’s not just Iran: Trump threatened to defend the Bond market with the US military. This is in the context of the US bonds rising. They are expensive enough now that the cost of servicing US debt is comparable to the amount spent on Defense! And in the last round, not all the bonds were sold.

So one way of interpreting Trump’s statement is as a threat: anyone selling US bonds and making our borrowing more expensive will be attacked.

If you were in a position to buy US bonds, would you buy them now knowing you might never be able to sell them?

The middle eastern economies are under pressure because of the war, and they have large amounts of Bonds… How will they react? If they don’t sell, their economies faces a recession. If they do, they might get bombed by what, until recently, they thought was the guarantor of their security.

Trump is destroying the world order and the US standing on the world, he is creating and accelerating the conditions for a massive economic recession, and all for a war for Israel. A war they cannot win.

When I bought it there were only 2: the chapper one at around £250 and an AI enabled with a more powerful engine at around £500. I have the cheapest one

I have a kercher. The app does try to connect to the internet, but you can use it just by pressing a button.

So mine has no idea what the WiFi code is. I can recommend it, but bear in mind that I got the cheaper model (why would I want AI on a hoover?). I have it easy as I have a hard floor, so performance might be different on carpet

I thought Stamer is proving Labour is for the few, not the many.

Nearly: Their job is to take the blame when the machine fails.

None. The blockade is mostly enforced by the insurers, and the 5 years lead time to buy a new boat. All Iran has to do is fire the odd drone/missiles every once in a while and no ship owner will risk it

I think the argument is not so much for price increases (which we have now) but for the supply restrictions and destruction taking place. First consider that every month that Hormuz remains closed, the world loses about 2% of the yearly supply of oil and gas. Then take into account the long transition of the boats and the damage to wells and refineries means there will be scarcity. Heck, in some Asian countries that is already the case. And the scarcities will be global.

That is already baked into the world economy, just not factored onto the markets.

The F15 has a range of 3400miles, according to Wikipedia. It can refuel in mid air, taking it range past the 5000 or do needed to make it back for another refuel. The can stay in the air for up to 15, hours, and travel cruise at .9 Mach.

Will the US pay for the bases when Iran destroys them?

I think I know who you are talking about. Was it when Theresa May was head of the Home office?

Also, it’s a lie: the greens position is not to legalize all drugs, but to have an evidence based approach.

Also, open source is likely to be cheaper, so in that sense, it will contribute less to growth as less money will be spent.

Also, they fail to mention that all US companies can be forced to obey Washington, even if the servers are in the EU

Time to contact your MP again and ask for more control over political donations

Take the water companies back into public ownership.

They will take the increase in bills and pass a chunk of it to their investors instead of using it for its intended purpose

I’ve been using a aCalendar for many years, it just present the calendar in a better way https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar

Running a series of elections for short-lived zombie councils will be costly, time-consuming and will take scarce resources away from front-line services like fixing potholes and social care.

Good thing then we are still spending 1.8billion in a Digital ID scheme no one wants.

Just past 2 million now

Ah! Nice one… But no, it will be Oracle. They have paid Tony Blair about £250 in the last few to spew their nonsense, and Larry Ellison has spoken loudly about well behaved everyone will be once they can monitor everything we do.

Sounds like a police state paradise.

I haven’t seen the video, but I’m gonna go on a limb here and wonder if it has to do with Republican policies?

According to this report by Cray Murray, the judge and courts were not impartial, and are likely responsible for the Palestine Action being outlawed https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/arch ives/2025/07/we-accept-of-course-that-it-is-draconian-and-deliberately-so/
