In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Israel continues to demolish the homes of more than 600,000 people in Lebanon, because Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide is what they do. Can you imagine the outrage if this was being done to Israel? But Israel does it. Complete SILENCE.

OMG, I love their mocking remarks. They are playing with Trump and he doesn’t even realize it….

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭

America not being a signatory to a number of treaties does not mean that international law does not exist. The US is conducting clear war crimes, and boasting about it. They should be treated as a pariah state. They definitely shouldn't be getting a Royal visit.

American tech oligarchs have done a brilliant job of making themselves universally hated. If they had just stayed businessmen, no one would care. But by using their fortunes to aggressively support fascists, they guaranteed the public would turn on them

“Not our war.” Starmer’s right about one thing: Farage would have us in it by teatime. The same man who cheered Brexit as sovereignty now wants British blood and British fuel queues for a conflict he’d never fight himself. He’s not a patriot. He’s a propagandist with a pint.

Amen! #BookSky

Think about that..

Ordinary World…🌺 #BeachLife

Turns out that Israel and the US were too chicken to send warships through the Strait of Hormuz so they begged Europe, expecting our warships to be bombed instead of theirs. They wanted our sailors to die on their behalf in the war they fucking started.

🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺We know… 🚨Economists know… 🚨The City Knows… 🚨In fact Everyone Knows…. Except hard core Brexiters, who want to continue the Brexit Con. Time to Rejoin 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

It’s absolutely unbelievable that Trump can continue to commit war crimes, defy humanitarian laws, threaten death and destruction of sovereign territory and innocent civilians and the world stands by and lets him. All at the behest of Israel. Disgusted @albomp.bsky.social Gov actually endorse this.

Trump's comments about the UK go to show why you should NEVER try to pander to him. He is a narcissistic psychopath who will expect more and more each time you placate him. How cringe giving him that fake 2nd state tour looks now. As we all said it would.

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

Netanyahu on how Israel is different from Iran: "Here's the difference ... these mass murderers in Tehran target civilians." Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the murder of between 75,000 and 186,000 civilians, at least 20,000 children or babies.

Remember this? “If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you it will have enormously positive impact in the region" A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.

Who could have foreseen that the president who lies about literally everything, no matter how large or small, would lie about his intentions for war? I for one am as shocked as when mommy disappeared behind her hands only to reappear moments later

The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

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

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

Nigel Farage spent the week before the Gorton and Denton by-election campaigning for Matt Goodwin from, checks notes, The Maldives! Total genius, I hope he carries on with this stellar political strategy.

How long do you think before all those right-wing, millionaire, tax dodging, UK slagging Brit immigrants who ran off to Dubai to live because the UK was apparently such a horrendous place to live, decide to scuttle back to their UK mansions.

The war that US and Israel have today started against Iran isn't about Iran building nuclear weapons, any more than Iraq war was about non-existent WMDs. It's about exterminating the Iranian leadership and US installing a puppet leader. This will be a very big war and it will destabilise the ME.

"When we deal with Russia, we face the second type of threat. It is a mentally unstable dictatorship that cannot accept that in Europe every life matters, human rights are important, and nations can be protected whether they are big or small." #StandWithUkraine #3E

After Steve Witkoff’s comments on Fox News about Russia and Putin, one thing needs to be said clearly and without spin: this war did not “just happen.” Vladimir Putin made the decision. He chose to invade. He chose escalation. He chose this war. youtube.com/shorts/b0crp...

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

The Jenrick/Farage fallout will be fun. Hard to pick a side, mind. Like being offered a choice between a hair sandwich & a toenail-topped panini.

Remember: Viktor Orban has built a corrupt, stagnant Hungary that is much poorer than it should be www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

The most corrupt pro-Putin president in US history endorses the most corrupt pro-Putin leader in Europe.

Good response to Jim Ratcliffe's appalling comment on immigration. @jakerichardsmp.bsky.social: "Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save £4 billion worth of tax in this country, one might question whether he is the patriot that we need to comment on this issue."

No Reform MPs turned up to the debate on Russian influence on UK politics yesterday, because we are confident that we already know how it works and don’t need any further advice.

ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT......... 👇

History repeating itself? UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it. Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.
