Trump says the UK's 2 aircraft carriers are 'toys'. The #RoyalNavy is squawking. So are the navy's fans, e.g. #Torygraph.
But #Trump is mostly right. The QEII carriers have had 3 big problems: they don't work, have no planes, and no escorts.
Now they sometimes work, have a few planes, and rely on American #CarrierBattleGroups. But it's all half-arsed.
These carriers are not really a military project. They are #pork, built by #GordonBrown to create jobs in Scotland, and enthuse #flagshaggers.
The #DailyTelegraph is off its meds, yet again.
The #Torygraph wants yer man #KingCharles to grovel to #Trump in place of #Starmer. ๐

The #DailyTelegraph is off its meds yet again.
#Venison is NOT #vegan, unless your dictionary is hallucinating. Veganism is not just abstention from eating meat (thats #vegetarianism); it's about abstaining from all exploitation of animals.

The #Torygraph used to be a newspaper.
Highlight of the #GortonAndDenton #byelection: The #DailyTelegraph sent their man out to talk to Green Party #GPEW canvassers.
It did not go well for him. ๐ ๐คฃ
Wikipedia has a guide for editors called WP:SPIDERMAN ("No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_climbing_the_Reichstag_dressed_as_Spider-Man . Basically, don't throw your toys out of the pram.
The #Starmtroopers have gone full #Spiderman. Having driven the #LabourParty's polling numbers off a cliff, they now want to weaponise against #Rayner the unelectability which #Starmer & co created. And they use the #Torygraph as their megaphone: https://archive.is/GHJAs. #YCMTSU.
Tim Stanley, writing in the #Torygraph, tries to make the case that #Trump's #ICE crackdown in #Minneapolis is right in principle, but not worth the hassle. https://archive.is/d537L
It's a pity that Tim didn't learn a wee bit of history before writing. Just the first lecture of American History 101 ...
