🔴Trump’s Iran War Threatens a Refugee Crisis on a Scale That Dwarfs Syria A former senior US defence analyst warns that the assault on Iran risks causing a refugee crisis up to four times larger than what happened during the Syria conflict bylinetimes.com/2026/03/13/t...

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.

There seems to be a widespread view that adherence to international law is somehow optional. Reminds me of Russian friends who described their situation as “the law is like a gate in the middle of a field. You can use it if you want but don’t have to”. And we know where that went.

Farage has forged his entire lucrative career on blaming foreigners for stuff that never happened.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

Here we go… use democracy to attack democracy.

They will literally blame anything on Muslims.

If Peter Mandelson denies he was about to flee the country, should he believe him?

There’s at least 3 books in this top ten dedicated to help people be a shameless wanker.

The man admittedly doesn’t have the balls to walk down a London street. How’s he expected to govern a whole county?

It feels like we’re on the road back to feudalism.

Struggling to find the words to describe the utter reckless vandalism of this sickening move - deliberately making millions of people sicker & less secure in order to enrich billionaire polluters

‘Absolute hell’: Irish man with valid US work permit held by Ice since September

A real pleasure to fiom this lovely fella for the brilliant @thenerve.news

In competence and venality of the old political elite is ushering in a class of oligarchic politicians that are backed by unprecedented levels of private wealth and driven by some batshit crazy ideas (that just happen to be good for their wealth…) Thiel is a prime mover in this

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone. He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein We have published it in full. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

NEW: Dear Washington Post journalists, I’ve written this for you. Last year @theguardian.com gave away our news title & binned 100+ journalists. It sucked! But we fought back & you can too. First a strike, then a new masthead @thenerve.news Fuck Bezos. There is another way 👊👊👊 1/

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

👇🏼✊🏻💥

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

More I think about it, the more that Mandelson comes to define the first 18 months of this government. Not just the obvious error that was bringing him back, but also that this was considered necessary in the absence of better ideas. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM. It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line. My latest for @thenerve.news 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/technofasc...

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

It’s astonishing how uninteresting my Phone has become since I put it into black and white mode.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

What's happening in the US right now can, and if these people are elected will, happen here.

Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells BBC London that Nigel Farage is planning to give London boroughs like Havering "independence" from Sadiq Khan and City Hall

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Lavrov: Crimea is no less important to the security of the Russian Federation than Greenland is to the United States. And, of course, when what is happening around Greenland is justified by claims that otherwise it would be seized by Russia or China, there is no evidence to support such claims.

This rhetoric emerged from revival movements that thrived during war, plagues, and social collapse, when death was constant and evangelism fed on fear. So, creepy!

This picture from Billy Graham's 95th birthday explains so much about 21st-century America.

I’m hearing a lot of well versed people dismiss Farage and Reform’s rising popularity in the same way folks downplayed Trump during the Biden era. If things remain as they are, which they very likely will. Farage will be our next elected PM. And we know perfectly well what happens next.
