    Not enough Starmer placards in the crowds in Tel Aviv right now considering how integral we were. Disappointing.

    Even when it’s not Israel, it’s Israel.

    US President Donald Trump is considering sending long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.

    Asked by reporters on Air Force One on Sunday whether he would provide Kyiv with Tomahawks, Trump replied: "We'll see... I may". The missiles would be "a new step of aggression" in Ukraine's war with Russia, he said.

    The comments follow a phone call at the weekend between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who pushed for stronger military capabilities to launch counter-attacks against Russia.

    Moscow has previously warned Washington against providing long-range missiles to Kyiv, saying it would cause a major escalation in the conflict and strain US-Russian relations.

    Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles), which would put Moscow within reach for Ukraine.

    Trump said he would possibly speak to Russia about the Tomahawks requested by Ukraine.

    "I might tell them [Russia] that if the war is not settled, that we may very well, we may not, but we may do it."

    "Do they [Russia] want Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so," the US president added.

    On Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the topic of Tomahawks was of "extreme concern" to Russia. "Now is really a very dramatic moment in terms of the fact that tensions are escalating from all sides," he said.

    In September Peskov dismissed the threat of Tomahawks, saying they would not be able to "change the dynamic" of the war.

    But in his comments on Sunday he noted that if Tomahawks were launched at Russia Moscow would not be able to tell whether they were carrying nuclear warheads.

    "What should the Russian Federation think? Just how should Russia react?", he said.

    On Monday morning former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev doubled down on Peskov's comments.

    "How should Russia respond? Exactly!" Medvedev said on social media.

    "The delivery of these missiles could end badly for everyone. And first of all – for Trump himself," he wrote.

    Got Sky on now and he’s rambling about something totally unrelated. Bizarre but entertaining.

    The day has finally come.

    The Official and FINAL Not 606 Free Free Palestine (FFP) League table and Season Awards

    1) Ponkie
    2) Spurlock

    4) King Hotspur

    *****

    OWN-GOAL OF THE SEASON

    I am sure 8 million Sudanese are reassured to know that what they are experiencing is merely "a bit of internal strife". Fosse wipes the floor with this 24-carat analysis, as well as the fact that he has stuck with it for over a year <laugh>

    HANDBAGS OF THE SEASON

    Pick whichever of the Ponkie v Brb ones you feel like choosing, both went on for over 4 pages and to this day, no-one is entirely sure how they started. Topped off by Brb banning Ponkie from the thread for a week because he woke up the next day in a bad mood with Sucky, but took it out on Ponkie <laugh>

    MOST IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

    Sucky has clearly learned how to read and write, which if nothing else means that this thread should be seen as a massive net positive. We might even be eligible for funding from the DoE. Or UNWRA, if our textbooks include illustrated guides to killing Jews.

    COMEBACK OF THE SEASON

    Despite taking a bath for about six weeks and slipping up the league as a result, Saf - after throwing a brief strop during which he listened to some Kneecap songs - rallied and returned stronger and more fascist than ever. Like United hunting down Newcastle in 95/96, he's been unstoppable since, and deservedly wins our Eugene Terre'blanche Apartheid Nazi Supremacist trophy. <applause>

    WET WIPE OF THE SEASON

    One of the bonuses about living somewhere as boring as Cornwall is that you apparently have a lot of free time to do other things like surf, cycle and set up permanent camp on an internet forum. Ponkie has been consistent since day 1 of the conflict, giving zero quarter and changing zero opinions. His beefs with Brb will go down in the history books for their longevity and pettiness. A deserved winner of our United Nations Greta Thunberg Just Stop Oil Transgender Vegan trophy. <applause>

    Disappointing as this is I congratulate @Saf on his win and will use the off-season to look to improve and go again in the next war. There’s no shame in finishing second to such a seasoned competitor.

    But disappointed to have missed out on CL qualification, given my unwavering, non partisan disgust at the the whole shoddy episode of human history. Probably should have bought a flag, that might have swung it.

    Apologies I need to swap you and Ern.

    So you get Europa League instead of Intertoto Cup. Nothing to be sniffed at.

    OMG, I can’t believe it. I’m so emotional :emoticon-0106-cryin

    God bless Israel, God bless CK and God bless Windy.

    I’m truly honoured to receive this award. It was only a couple days ago, I ordered these…

    I’m away to Jamaica on Saturday and I’ll wear my little Britain/Israel badge with pride. I take the train from Durham to Manchester. The students in Durham will no doubt be in awe and I reckon the people of Manchester will give me a big pat on the back. Shame my trophy from CK won’t arrive on time in the post because I would show that off too.

    I’m away out now to batter some random Arab in celebration of this glorious day.

    All this political back slapping on tv is cringe, so avoided most of the news today.

    Need to sort Putin out now.

    What's Russian for 'release the Epstein files?'
    He's gonna choose whoever gives him the best chance of that Nobel peace prize, so it'll be the political version of a world cup bid.
