So now, he becomes concerned about breaking promises? And the hill he is going to die on is the policy that most of the population now actually want reversed to some extent?

"Israel’s greatest victory to date may be the reality distortion that it’s managed to create around its war on Lebanon, even as it’s killed 1,500 people and laid claim to its land."

The limitations on violence established after World War II were not brought by pacifists or peaceniks but by literal old soldiers. They knew. They had seen.

If an Iranian soldier was stuck in the mountains in the US, the UK, Israel, or Germany, & every American or British or Israeli or German boy or man from 16 to 60 walking within 3km of him was killed by drones, would any politician or media call it anything other than murder?

Maybe I'm wrong, but the Hungarian election looks to me like the equivalent of getting to choose between Yaxley-Lennon and Jenrick. To bastardise a movie line (badly) - "In 6 months they'll want to steal Magyar's nose"

Massive from Southampton. Chwarae Teg...

The other day @mrjamesob.bsky.social asked how a third of Americans could possibly still approve of Trump. Sadly it's the same reason 30% of voters say they're voting for this lying grifter. FFS, in true Trump fashion he even says Sunderland when he means Durham!

Here is a quick masterclass on how to maintain a blatant lie even when directly confronted with the truth.

Dan James v Sead Kolašinac is like watching a kid playing against his Dad. #WalvBos

We tracked down the superyacht owned by the world’s sixth richest man. Larry Ellison won’t like what we did to it 🛥️🏴‍☠️

Former political prisoner Nasrin Parvaz reads a letter to Keir Starmer signed by more than 100 pro-democracy, pro-justice and anti-war British-Iranians, including other former Evin detainees Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Aras Amiri. Full list of signatories is at togetherforiran.org

Anne's great piece should be read in full and is available here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Even in the current climate and unpopularity of Labour, Reform+Tory = 42% Don't let any journalist claim the UK is inherently right wing.

Of course Reddin turns up on TV only once Wales wins

While I'm glad to see the US called to account for its criminal bombing of a school in Iran, it astonishes me to see so little challenge to Gordon Brown when he appoints himself to this role. He was properly, Nuremberg-complicit in the Iraq War, in which 700 primary schools were bombed.

Not long ago, Musk was on a big screen at a neofascist rally calling for the government to be overthrown and now his firm is allowed to be involved in crucial state infrastructure? What is the point of @ofgem?

Brilliant piece on the lies constantly spouted by right wing journalists and Tufton Street grifters on behalf of billionaires protecting their fossil fuel investments

Absolutely idiotic

We are not that far away from a 5 way split of c20%. This, if translated to an election result, would be utter chaos. Anyone who doesn't think we need electoral reform must have their head buried firmly in the sand. Or is called Starmer. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

I would love to know if Vine's frequent expressions of total ignorance, whenever anyone on the left speaks, are feigned or whether he truly is that thick...

Imagine being under investigation for a crime that carries up to life imprisonment & yet still receiving a £75,000 severance after losing your job due to the emergence of the evidence that also led to said investigation...

Abhorrent ghoul, Peter Mandelson was paid £10,000 every week as US Ambassador. That's on top of living here (not the British Embassy, you understand, it's the Ambassador's Residence). He demanded £500,000 severance pay & didn't deserve the £75,000 he got, especially an extra £34,670 paid as a gift.

Adopting the Trumpian position of "I never said those things I said" for the second time in 24 hours. No wonder the Tories are now an utter irrelevance.

To be fair, he also proved that he is an economically illiterate moron...

Tories will never concede that increasing production in the North Sea will not change the price of energy to consumers - because, of course, a big reason for this is that the UK oil & gas industry is fully privatised (unlike eg Norway) and we all know who was responsible for privatising it...

It doesn't look like Vine does either...

Nigel Owens is wrong there sorry. Dupont clearly has his knee on the deck (i.e. is off his feet & can't play the ball) before he starts to rip the ball. Thus it's a Scottish Penalty all day long. Law 14.5c - tacklers must be on their feet before attempting to play the ball #SCOvFRA

They have no answers says the man who generally refuses to answer a straight question...

Family voting is obviously spreading to YouGov...

Wow

I can't believe that there are still people defending this charlatan

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

And guess what? No-one is talking about the Epstein Files...

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.” Well said Ed Davey...

We dont have money for social care but we have hundreds of millions to protect the people who just started a war killing a schools worth of kids on day one. And the Greens are extremists

BBC News this evening: "Isn't it dreadful what Iran is presently doing in the Middle East" Shame on you Clive Myrie.

Eloquently put...

Good man!

The Iranian people deserve to live free from a brutal regime. Donald Trump's unilateral and illegal military action won't deliver freedom, peace and security. It will only unleash more bloodshed.

That headline could just as easily read "Shabana Mahmood to sacrifice decent people in favour of racists"

"The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so." Anyone suggesting that the GP's "policy" is open borders is disingenuous AF. Looking at you Mahmood.

If you think the US wants regime change in Iran to restore freedom, then read some history. In 1953, US/UK led a coup & removed a *secular democratic government* to control their oil via a puppet dictator, the Shah. Everything following, including arming Saddam's Iraq, was a direct result of this

"Make votes matter," said Westminster's newest MP Hannah Spencer at our Manchester rally last year. "Our vote is a right and our vote should count!" Regardless of who you backed in this race, this is a message we can all unite around 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

Imagine being the victim of an attack like that and seeing the perp walk free. Disgusting.

Yep. These Islamists voting for a party with a gay Jewish leader. You mean those Islamists? Ps GO WOKE!👊🙏

Hey, my friends saw you at the Woke Progressive and Sectarian Islamist Convention and they said you were telling everyone how to vote

"Democracy Volunteers" Strong smell of astroturf if you ask me.
