The British Government abandoned Afghanistan last August. The British Army had to be evacuated. The cost of failure was crippling. The British Broadcasting Corporation remained behind, and is still reporting from Kabul. The value of the BBC’s license fee - priceless.

Breaking news. As the biggest crowd in the history of crowds gathered to salute the greatest President of all time, Donald Trump descended the greatest biggest steepest and slippiest ramps in the world. As crowds cheered, trump shouted. “Nobody does ramps like me.”

If professor Gopal was trying to say that, then why didn’t she make herself clearer in her original tweet? It doesn’t take a professor of linguistics to read the tweet and realise it conveys a completely different meaning to the one she’s now claiming. Quite the opposite, infact
By supporting young British volunteers thinking of travelling to Ukraine to take up arms - Liz Truss has effectively called for a Jihad in defence of democracy. Presumably the Home Office will prosecute the British fighters and strip them of their citizenship on their return,

She’s clearly more interested in driving her fancy red sports car than her boyfriend. She barely even notices as he leans in like a love sick puppy and plants his face in her fur. Poor boy. She’ll drive him crazy!

incorrectly reporting Anne Sacoolas is “the wife of an American diplomat.” Her husband is not an diplomat, nor registered at St James Palace. He works for the NSA.
@Keir_Starmer
Is this a fair comparison? Just as the Bennites were partially responsible for ushering in Thatcherism, the corbynistas opposition to the so-called neo-liberalism of EU, could lead to a hard Brexit and even more deregulation?

“As soon as Trump is elected, you’ll be the first to go.” ? If it wasn’t for the American accents, one might think this video was shot at a political rally in Germany, in the quaint city of Nuremberg, circa 1938.
Breaking news. President Trump also congratulates president Kim Jong-Un on his election in North Korean election and hails it as “another great victory for democracy.”
I believe in Raheem. Not for what I know will come, but for what he’s already given the team. His god-given talent to cut through the lines and to keep trying while others try to bring him down - is both courageous and sublime.

Every war has its defining images and history never quite repeats itself. This footage of Afghans clinging onto this plane will become seared in memory. Not the helicopters flying overhead the US embassy. But both are are a cataclysmic defeat for America and its allies.
@Hemmch
I’m finding it troubling that you continue to pontificate on toxic masculinity when women have come forward to say you sexually harassed them. If you’re being honest, perhaps you could clear that one up.
You gotta hand it to those terrrorists. They’re pretty sneaky. Al Qaeda flew planes into buildings. ISIS beheaded people. And now terrorists are handing out hot steamed Korean kimchi buns in Seattle from pop-up food stalls.
When the food stalls pop up the shooting starts.
@blaireerskine
This is really really funny. But not as funny as some of the replies that thought you were being serious. But that’s maybe because this is also really really clever. Great stuff
Nice to know that Trump is stopping over in the UK for a cup of tea and a round of golf before flying off to meet his best friend Putin in Moscow. Not so much a special relationship. More like a cucumber sandwich between important business meetings.

Here’s one reason why we ended up here. The U.S lifted regulations on tv news requiring impartiality in 1987, which lead to Fox News and their ‘fair and balanced’ fact-free opinions. And here’s three more...Google, (not a publisher) YouTube (not a broadcaster.) and Facebook.
@lisanandy
With the greatest respect, both the Conservatives and the Labour Party have been asleep at the wheel over the course of both of our disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This defeat was foretold by many. It’s no good you now appearing wise after the event.
@CliveMyrieBBC
I don’t know how people could somehow notice your colour, but not see your obvious warmth and sense of decency. You’re also a great journalist and a great ambassador for the BBC and Britain. It’s obvious to almost everyone, but I guess a few people have a blind spot.
President Trump decided to start wearing a face mark after taking advice from his campaign team as polls show his inane utterances are proving deadly in the run up to November.
@_RichardHall
The clips they played from my interview with Elsheik in court were just the tip of the iceberg. He described events - including torture and an execution - in such granular detail he must have been there. Condemned by his own words. The pen is mightier than the sword.
While I’m against the president’s call for the death penalty in the new war against opioid abuse in America - I presume the sackler family - the owners of Purdue Pharma and pushers of OxyContin - will at least do some serious jail time.
Breaking news. Footage emerges from Russia of that golden shower enjoyed by Donald Trump. Asked to comment, the president said: “no one likes piss as much as I do.”
@MarcusRashford
All great goals are memorable. But in achieving this goal you achieved something remarkable and the memory of it will live on forever. Congratulations and thankyou.

I love Dan’s resume. ‘He changed the conversation expected of a sales agent by screaming: “back the f*** up! Back the f*** up!” And he likes hot yoga. “Yoga is for douche bags but I like f***ing hot liberal chicks’. He is currently feeling threatened and looking for a job!
Or maybe he was just too busy (riffing on the latest conspiracy) to actually pay any attention and listen. But then nobody knows intelligence better than Trump. So why bother!
@BarnabyRaine
By claiming the EHRC only found two cases of antisemitism you’re whitewashing what was a deeply disturbing and damning report and highlighting how Labour supporters like yourself still don’t get it.
Once upon a time in America...when Americans from across the political spectrum could come together and sacrifice some of their own individual freedoms and constitutional rights - all in the name of freedom and in defence of liberty. And they even wore gas masks when asked!!!

What a fantastic start to your documentary, Lauren. I didn’t see that one coming and straight away you’re drawn in as a viewer.
One of the best tips I ever received was: whether you are not, You’ve got to work every day as though you’ve been commissioned and are on deadline.
@deangloster
While these reports maybe true - and Trump’s silence on the matter is telling - I don’t think the Taliban need any additional incentive to kill American or British troops.
@rcallimachi
@Josiensor
But yes, the two suspects denied any involvement in Kayla’s murder. As Rukmini correctly points out - Kayla was moved to another location, (Umm sayaf’s house, I believe).

Hey Lenny. Just wanted to say thanks for your kind words and glad you liked the series. I certainly had a blast making it. Coming off the back of two years in the Middle East - I loved that year in S.America. Beaches and Bikinis instead of deserts and burkas. And mohitos 24/7
Breaking news. Finland breaks away from Russia and declares independence. President Trump calls Putin and offers military assistance. In other news, the British Government asks Trump if it can get its money back, seeing as though America never delivered those Polaris missiles.
Here’s a doomsday scenario. With 3 million COVID 19 cases and rising, how many will it take before President Trump announces a state of national emergency and cancels the presidential election? Maybe that’s why he’s so keen to ease lockdown.

That’s not a Nazi helmet. It may look like one. But its a football fans’ sun lounger hat, worn by many fans with delicate skin complaints (normally of other people’s skin colour). Hence the sunglasses 😎. Protects from harsh glare of truth and blocks out rays and rational thought

@toadmeister
No, not if you’ve ever been to Syria or Iraq or watched the TV news on ISIS since 2011. Are they beheading people in Seattle? Are they raping yazidi women and setting up slave markets on street corners? What, ‘sort of’, reminds you of ISIS?
@Nicole_saysLove
Just been reading your tweets/thread. Thank you. It’s Insightful, incisive and great to see someone doing some actual reporting and investigation into an issue - and not just opinion. I found it shocking and very revealing. So much for the liberal arts.

@euanrellie
I hope the WH press Corp are still maintaining a safe distance in the press room. You don’t want to be too close to Kayleigh when she next speaks the ‘truth’ ...just in case a lightening bolt strikes the podium.
I feel misled by the title of John Bolton’s book: The Room Where It Happened. He doesn’t even describe the hotel room in Moscow. Let alone mention what happened. Piss poor in my opinion.
When Labour fail to defeat the weakest Government in in living memory lose the general election, I hope the Corbynista leftists remain true to their cause and do the decent thing: put themselves up against a wall and shoot themselves.
@StaceyDooley
. Your comments on Panorama were both accurate and pertinent. The index finger salute has been widely adopted by ISIS fighters. Just because the gesture is also used by Muslims to denote the oneness of Allah should not prevent journalist from speaking truth to power.
