Reading this prompted me to read about Reform UKs "patriotic” curriculum in schools. Lessons about British or European imperialism “must be paired with the teaching of a non-European occurrence of the same to ensure balance." Where transgender "ideology" will be banned.

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable” Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

I can't see any reason why we shouldn't trust our Prime Minister; after all I'm sure he wouldn't tell lies just to get elected.

Wow. 🧵 What are we even doing?

If it hasn't already, it will very soon dawn on most of the USA's allies across the Middle East that nobody was attacking their cities and oilfields until Trump hit Iran. And now suddenly they're all juicy targets of opportunity for a country out for revenge. Trump did that.

Footage released by the Iranian state-affiliated Fars news agency reveals rows of drones stored in underground tunnels and mounted on rocket launchers, with walls adorned by Iranian flags. https://cnn.it/3OAnnlU

Thought for the day: Politicians sponsored by the fossil fuel Billionaire Oligarchs as well as much of the media reliant on advertising revenue from Oligarchs will be out in force today calling for more bombs & escalation in the middle east today. Profits are rolling in www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"There will likely be more - that’s the way it is."

Ahead of the next reading of the Representation of the People Bill, ERS has been briefing MPs with evidence on how to make our democracy more representative – from voting rights to participation and accountability. buff.ly/uNfmU3J

Principle of collective self-defence provided for by international law - can't they also extend that to helping Ukraine?

I find this a hilarious marker of the incompetence of the entire Trump administration: “We identified people to take over Iran, then accidentally killed them all.”

Trump is happy with the repressive regime in Iran staying in power: “What we did in Venezuela, I think, is the perfect, the perfect scenario." All those poor Iranians he called out on the streets to be slaughtered, now US lives lost, billions of taxpayer dollars spent for…situation normal?

If you're wondering why Starmer first refused US access to UK bases then granted it, I suspect the answer is the same in both cases: US plan is flaky as hell. Shd we join illegal strikes on a country capable of retaliating, with someone this clueless about what next? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

Trump keeps telling journalists (😏) he has been exonerated in the Jeffrey Epstein Files. Not one corrected him.

Apologies to @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for crossposting her tweets from the nasty place, but I felt this deserves airtime on bluesky because of how emphatically they prove the nasty, immoral, opportunistic politics of Reform.

3 American soldiers have now been killed because the president wants you to stop thinking about all the children he raped.

Who cares what Reform think?! They’re NOT the Opposition! If it’s not obvious by now, Kuenssberg, the BBC, ITV… basically all mainstream news media, are pulling for Farage by parroting his talking points and positioning his party at the epicentre of everything.

Reform are not the Opposition. They have had fewer MPs elected than the Green Party, which had five elected under their banner in this Parliament alone. STOP. MAINSTREAMING. REFORM. If the BBC had given them coverage proportional to their actual significance, we would barely know who Farage is.

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong. The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Nigel Farage accused of 'trying to rig' election rules in Trumpian 'sore loser' move. Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I take no credit for this, but I get it! 💥

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Jasmine Crockett: “I want to remind the american people that we have a constitution — what we are clearly witnessing is lawlessness yet again from this administration— My question to Speaker Johnson is how many ppl are going to have to die bc this president just decided to do whatever he wanted to”

Can only stop them by taking out the launch sites which by definition requires offensive action

Serious Qs: how will they exercise any control over what the US forces do from those bases? And how does stopping Iran from firing missiles work?

If there are any repercussions to this decision I will hold Starmer personally responsible.

Currently trending on X.

I can’t believe how much peace this president makes. It really is incredible. Best at peace ever.

Thou shalt send Barron Trump to Iran.

Farage and the mainstream media are much graver risks to British democracy, constantly spouting nonsense and worse.

We had elections during the Civil War. Trump has no mechanism to delay, postpone, or suspend elections—legally or otherwise. Accountability is coming. And there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable. Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice. The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.
