Let’s erase the role Britain played in wars in these regions and let’s only do election planning in all of our policy making. #HomeOffice #Mahmood
The last attempt at ‘liberating’ people in Operation Enduring Freedom by the USA did the opposite for most Afghan women. Epic Fury will attempt to try again in Iran. #USAgoestoWar again
Trump confirms US has launched 'major combat' operations in Iran, as explosions reported in Tehran Summary US President Donald Trump confirms US has launched "major combat operations" in Iran It comes after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says his country has launched a "pre-emptive" attack on Iran The BBC has received images of smoke rising in Tehran, as Iranian state media report further explosions in the east and north of the country's capital city Katz has also announced a state of emergency in Israel in anticipation of retaliatory strikes
WW3 was not on my bingo card for the weekend, and I accept that's my fault. Question now is how does Iran retaliate, because they will, and how quickly this escalates and spreads. Also a reminder, Tehran is densely populated, an attack on it means more civilian deaths. That can't be forgotten.
US begins ‘major combat operations’ in Iran, Trump says, after strikes hit Tehran.
2026 - a new war, begins.
I would also like a list of wars that have ended in this year or last….

Repression and terrorism are not parallel outcomes; they are mutually reinforcing.

This is the video to share and show anyone who thinks brexit hasn’t been done ‘properly’ yet and going further would be good for this country.

Those lights shining out of #Grenfell each time, as the building gets demolished. Sharp. Almost whiplash like sharp, pain.
Erasure is strategy,
parallel lies is validation,
the noise is politics.
But for those of us who hold multiple versions of the truth, we note the long term damage of words, in English, said about those, who owned the nation, by those who only wish to make a point.

The goddess of learning and knowledge, operational framework of career choice for me. Universe sent the message of the first blooms of the season camellia and daffodils now at the feet of the goddess. We need this wisdom and knowledge more than ever before!
Democracy wobbles as politics pans out in a presser.

Women & girls cannot carry any mobile devices to weddings, social gatherings, or neighbours’ homes. School girls can use #smartphones at home but must leave them behind when stepping out.

Fighting resumes hours before regional foreign ministers meet in Malaysia to discuss steps to de-escalate hostilities.
Hellholes don’t appear. They are dug with precision, policy and strategy that benefits the digger alone. To call one nation a name distances others from admitting any role they played in its reduction to despair.
Some of us note everything that is said about #Afghanistan & remember to question it.

This feels strange to listen in to. Angry tears have been cried. To be gaslit and validated in one swift debate. We failed and forgot the #Afghans
'Do they have gold in them?': The Indian artisans up in arms over Prada's sandals - BBC News
Social media does have its benefits - silent misappropriation in the good old colonial footprint. Called out.
But the economy still works the same way - money will be made

The role & strength of UK SHAPE subjects can be underestimated. 2013-22, UK is second globally to the USA for
- greatest volume of SHAPE business co-authored publications
- for total patent citation size of its SHAPE after the US.
