Timothy Ash: Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader…

Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, actually went on the BBC and questioned whether Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson!) is “creating a climate of intimidation and violence” with his rally. Astonishing. She’s a disgrace. The safety or ‘feelings’ of UK Muslims don’t count for her.

Timothy Ash: NATO is dead and European leaders…

NATO is dead and European leaders who don’t get that are brain dead. Heard numerous military top brass types in UK pretend otherwise recently. Accept it and move on. Plan for worst - the reality.

With the EU, and Germany insulting Türkiye, via VDL comments, the U.K. should take advantage of this to deepen defence and security ties. So many synergies - combining the UK’s defence tech expertise, with Türkiye’s strong manufacturing base.

Timothy Ash: Trump failed on Ukraine peace talks…

Trump failed on Ukraine peace talks (remember he bragged about 24H deal, 30 days, then 100), and Gaza (ask the 700+ dead Palestinians since). Iran - he fluffed the lines in Oman and now is living to regret the unlimited bounds of his own ego.
