Javier Blas @JavierBlas The White House is (truly) winning the oil jawboning battle against Tehran - still to be seen if Trump would win the physical oil market war. But to see Brent trading at sub-$100 a barrel (and WTI below $90) after 25 days of Hormuz almost full closure is almost surreal.
A tweet from an arsenal fan "just need to re-open the strait of hormuz and kick the 115 charges another decade in the future and the 'neutral' will continue to be entertained"
From truth social: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Under a draft law set for approval today by the Bundestag lower house, petrol stations will only be able raise prices once a day, at 12 midday. They may be reduced at any time. Businesses violating the rule can be fined up to €100,000.

A passage from the post by Dr Economist, MP, ignoring empire entirely. Crucially, communities can come together because they have a shared foundation of common British values - of unity, decency, and determination. These values crystallised during the Second World War. We worked together (unity) to defeat Nazi Germany in the face of impossible odds (determination), with an army defined not by colour or birth, but by the flag it marched under (decency).

Screenshot of a bluesky thread. ‪Chris Weston‬ ‪@chrisweston.bsky.social‬: @antoniabance.bsky.social has now deleted that post. Perhaps she regrets it and thinks it doesn't represent her view. I would be interested to hear what she does think. ‪Antonia Bance MP‬ ‪@antoniabance.bsky.social‬: Had tipped over from disagreement to abuse (not you!) - life’s too short ‪Chris Weston‬ ‪@chrisweston.bsky.social‬: I saw a lot of unacceptable abuse that you should not have to take. The key part for me, and what baffles, is the idea that you don't have a role to play in changing the narrative. Chris Mullin wrote about telling his constituents to stop taking the Daily Mail. A better vision is needed. Antonia Bance MP ‪@antoniabance.bsky.social‬: Thank you. And you’ll understand why I’m not doing more conversation tonight.
A thread from Bluesky between Labour MP Antonia Bance and some random. ‪Antonia Bance MP‬ ‪@antoniabance.bsky.social‬ I agree with all of this, James, but I feel a little sad that you didn’t say values. “By the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone” is so much more than any passing policy programme or momentary dividing line. It’s who we are. It’s why we do what we do. ‪Chris Weston‬ ‪@chrisweston.bsky.social‬ The mood music from government hasn't been that, though. Most statements I see are about immigration, and negative statements at that. Until we turn the rhetoric around from defending what we have to growing with purpose, that message won't land. ‪Antonia Bance MP‬ ‪@antoniabance.bsky.social‬ Yes. No-one is able to hear anything else while immigration dominates the national conversation. That’s why we have to sort the chaos, then we may get a hearing on everything else

A screenshot of a guardian article about City reforms reading “It is expected to cover banks’ losses on 95% mortgages if borrowers fail to repay and have their homes repossessed. The scheme, which was floated in Labour’s manifesto, is meant to encourage banks to offer riskier, larger-value loans.”

Donald Trump on TruthSocial: CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
