For those just waking up in the US, you are currently at war with Iran.

In short, the US and Israel have started this war with vague and unachievable objectives, with no int law base, and little or no support from Gulf states or other US allies. If Iran succeeds in hitting US/Israeli targets or disrupts oil exports, Trump will find using mil force is not risk free. End

The majority of people in work voting Green/Plaid now who were voting Labour in 2024 were people who thought "look they're talking like this because they have to get in, then they're going to tack left" and instead of staying the course they've actively started beating the left harder.

This isn't gonna be like Venezuela kids, any vacant caves in Scotland available?

How many people around the world have to die because Becky and Walter, voters from Pennsylvania have the critical thinking skills of a turnip. I am so tired of this.

So far I've come up with one rational explanation for Labour's response, which is that maybe Reeves has placed a significant amount of Treasury funds on a very specific accumulator about this May's elections, including Labour losing all their London councils and finishing fifth on projected vote.

I just feel like, ideally, the Labour response to yesterday's result would have tried to talk people *out* of detecting to the Greens, rather than, y'know, the opposite?

Hard to recall a war that even those starting it couldn't really come up a pretence for. They've already blown up nuclear weapons capacity and bombing won't force the regime out.

If you are still on X If you use Chat GPT You are colluding with US tyranny #DontFeedTheBeast #ResistFascism

We are now at war with Iran.

Plans to make refugee a status of perpetual limbo will do nothing to stop people who need help seeking it nor make it possible for them to rebuild their lives and contribute. I call for humane and effective asylum reforms because I am true Labour, not blue Labour. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The FTSE 100 is at 11000 pounds THATS what we should be talking about

Post a pic you took, no context to bring some zen to the feed

Starmer is at this point daring someone to stand against him before May, he's had enough, or he's lost his mind

"battered Starmer and chips please"

This is pretty bold stuff from somebody who got 552 more votes than Sir Oink A-Lot.

My favourite part is her getting the Tory candidate’s police rank wrong

To all Labour MPs on here. Please please please get Government Comms off 'X'. You could do that this afternoon. That would cheer lots of Labour members up. The owner of 'X' literally wants Rupert Lowe as PM and Tommy ten names as his Home Secretary. Just get off his platform.

As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played (Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)

This. Labour faces a massive choice in the leadership election. Do they go pro Europe? Hopefully they will.

Note to self:- You can't be sarcastic on social media, as loads of over earnest nutters take you seriously. Obviously everyone knows this fact, but I occasionally forget.

He doesn't care in the same way Farage doesn't. Actually, Farage is different in that he does actually believe a lot of his stuff. Polanski is a tweet generating machine who believes in very little at all. Complete charlatan.

Still stuck in 1983.... good old Jezzer, as useless as ever.

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM CHIEF BRENDE STEPS DOWN OVER EPSTEIN TIES

Fabulous film

Great to see the Conservatives wanting to reform student loans. Would like to see an account for Osborne replacing maintenance grants with loans in 2015. This has left poorer students with bigger debts vs richer ones for a whole decade, compounding inequality between rich and poor. It’s scandalous.

More initial signs of recovery! “UK government debt sales are expected to drop for the first time in four years, in a sign that chancellor Rachel Reeves’ effort to keep a lid on borrowing is easing pressure on the gilt market”

What's that saying... it's complicated? A child with ADHD head butted my Grandson last week in school. He gets over excited sometimes was the school's response. Totally unacceptable.

What he said. The nasty politics of division on display by both the far left and far right in Gorton and Denton is absolutely why neither the Greens or Reform should have any power. Two cheeks of the same backside.

The Tories have got exactly what they wanted from the media today. Every news bulletin is leading with the words “Labour” and “pedo protection party” on the day of a by-election.

If they want to go down this route, bring on the Republic

Forget PMQs in the House of Commons. This, the first creator press conference in Downing Street, is much better. In this half-hour session, Starmer answered much more prevalent questions for 2/3 of the time, in detail, and very well. This is what change looks and sounds like.

Lisa Nandy says that the government is now considering quitting X. "The first job of government is to deal with the really serious issues around regulation" ... "But I do think symbols matter - the question you ask is very much up for debate. Its a debate we are having"

The fact the BBC/Sky are not making Farage's moral bankruptcy as evident in #PMQs main news not only shows a lack of decency in our media but also should be condemned as moral outrage. This man is somehow immune to accountability and it makes me sick. Instead now Sky compares Starmer to Johnson 😂😂

Friday's headlines Greens win "Zach's Zeppelin means curtains for Starmer, Nigel now certain to be PM" Reform win "Matt's Mortar finishes off Starmer, Nigel marches on No 10" Labour win "Lucky Labour victory spells the end for Starmer, Reform guaranteed to form next Government (possibly next week)

Powerful moment in the Commons as Starmer calls on Farage to apologise for the Reform councillor who shared a post calling for Labour MP Natalie Fleet to be shot, pointing out that when Farage faced death threats Starmer condemned them. Farage totally ignores that & asks about the Chago Islands.

Farage and his Tory turncoats can't be trusted. Labour's Angeliki Stogia is the only person who can stop Reform in Gorton & Denton on Thursday.

I think some of this is a consequence of her being Too Online, in that she has always been too partisan to be properly effective IMV, but: today is wild. She has *friends* who she is calling “paedo defenders”!!

🚨BREAKING PMQs🚨 Starmer: "A death threat was shared by Reform's deputy council leader in Lancashire against the brilliant Member for Bolsover" "If he has any decency he will stand up, apologise, condemn the comments, and sack the individual in his party"

It’s lovely to see all these buildings lit up in yellow and blue. I’d rather Ukraine were given what they need to win the war personally.

The UK parliament now has an MP who is openly racist and far right. This is, for the current era, new ground, and it will be interesting to see how - if at all – other MPs respond.

Very concerning incident at Manchester Central Mosque. Thanks to the vigilance of volunteers and the action of police a more serious incident was avoided. Those responsible must face full force of the law. We must root out Islamophobia and Muslim hate and all those who perpetrate it.

Higher and higher she goes, where she stops nobody knows. Judging by people in my circle, something seems to be shifting. Just this week one has bought a lodge in the lakes and one has bought a camper van (lucky them) , feels like people have started spending money again instead of sitting on it.

Utterly disgusting from Green Party .. expectations for this dire lot receding by the minute.. how any decent Green leaning person would vote for this sour racist populism is as beyond me a a vote for Farage is ..

Reform people seem to be very unlucky with the social media posts that they 'accidentally' like and retweet? They're quite a clumsy lot aren't they. Have they all got thick fingers or is there another explanation I wonder?

All the other parties (and I mean your shower Badenoch) need to start calling these people (and those who vote for them) what they are.

Anyone who votes Reform in Gorton and Denton tomorrow, this is who you are. Own it.
