They're now making the Iranians look like liberals.

BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer says there's a 'sense of real relief' following the US-Iran ceasefire But, speaking from Saudi Arabia, the PM says there's still 'a lot of work to do' to make sure it is a permanent one

That Montie Tweet is just completely hatstand. If it's decadent for us to 'not' to go to war with Iran for no apparent reason apart from the US President having asked us, the day after slagging us off (again), and telling us he doesn't need us (again), - then sign me up for more decadence, Please !

What ever one thinks of Hannan, he has at least realised Trump is a horrific president. Most on the British Right are nowhere near...

It's not a "ceasefire" like they aren't "trade deals." Neither exist in the legal, institutionalized sense of these actual things. Media coverage needs to reflect that. Calling it the thing is lazy, it actively misinforms the public, & it is basically spreading propaganda. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Six minutes apart!

Has Polanski demanded to know why Starmer isn't posting live updates on what is being discussed - "it's been 30 minutes!"

Remember when Bill Clinton spoke to his AG for a few seconds privately, on the tarmac, and the US media, following the instructions of bad-faith wingnuts, made a huge multi-week scandal out of it?

They're now making the Iranians look like liberals.

It's almost as if they are speaking to each other behind the scenes rather than Tweeting.

Just for a second, I would like everyone to briefly contemplate how American media would have covered either George Bush announcing a joint venture with Saddam Hussein to charge the rest of the world a tax on oil.

Reality has a well-known rude bias.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump went from making genocidal threats against Iran to becoming business partners with Iran in 24 hours. The guy is loonier than a shithouse rat.

Shorter JD Vance: Nice country you've got here. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

The day has taken an interesting turn! Historic dockyard evacuated and now flooded with police and emergency response vehicles.

What a day to be in the historic dockyard with the boys 😎

What he says…

Expect Trump to start tweeting gushing praise of Iran soon; in his head they have become a source of narcissistic supply. Identical to what happened with North Korea in the first term, except of course he just fought a war with them and gave them control of the Middle East, but none of that matters.

What a day to be in the historic dockyard with the boys 😎

so the strait - which was open six weeks ago - will reopen and that will be presented as some kind of victory?

Reminder.

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

Ageless

I'm So Bored With The USA.

One thing remains unchanged since Trump's election in 2016. Without exception, anyone who admires him is a twat.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The Art of War 1. Start war 2. Kill people 3. Fail to achieve strategic objectives 4. Declare victory 5. Agree ceasefire

The loud aggressive litigant pulls the case and pays indemnity costs to the other party, and enters into a compromise which leaves the other party far better off than before the case was brought. Bullying and boasting, but based on blundering and bombast.

#Portsmouth interest #Pompey

So, I fear, are Russia and China.

Thought of a lyric: "I can't make things/ But I can make things worse."

A reminder that this is the same "unhinged" war and President the Daily Mail has spent weeks berating Keir Starmer for not joining and following

People like Andrew Neil will continue to earn fortunes for their lofty pronouncements despite being absolute fools ...

The Zarah Sultana Grand Political Strategy

"Nuclear war is coming. See how it affects your weekend plans right after this commercial break"

“How many civilizations would we need to destroy to get my retirement return where it needs to be?“

This is real

Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.

Every NATO country is working like hell behind the scenes. Entering into a public spat with a man who loves public spats isn't smart politics. When all other options run out, sure, go public. For now, do diplomacy, which happens behind closed doors.

New Iran thread. Starting with a Lest We Forget: Hillary Clinton, 9 years ago: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

When Trump said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters" he was being modest.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Last year #Utrecht widened ~mile of bike lanes on either side of a major retail, freight, transit street so that people on bikes could safely pass ➕ ride side-by-side. Also added tons of bike parking, parklets, trees, safer street crossings. Lost ~60 car parking spaces. Good choice for any city?

I do t care how bad she is but on this MTG speaks for me and 48% of the US voters
