‘You unbelievable coward’: conservative US media in open warfare over Iran Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are all trading blows over US involvement – while Sean Hannity says he’s staying out of it

Fuck ‘em.

This is some bullshit, trying to pair these two together. Luckily no normal person could give two stinking fucks what The Economist has to say between bouts of tickling corporate taint.

Influencers sold the world a fantasy Dubai – and now it’s gone in a puff of missile smoke | Gaby Hinsliff The city was portrayed as an aspirational place to live, but now those who moved there are realising the precarity that comes with being an economic migrant, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Good. Fuck them. They decided to go to a place that functions on corruption and slavery, for fucking clicks.

This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

An excellent piece by Monbiot showing exactly how the rightwing nationalist playbook has been singing the same shitty song forever, changing the name of the target to suit the times but nothing else. The same miserable tropes of hatred, utterly without substance.

Trump Axes Kristi Noem & Hegseth Strong-Arms "Too-Woke" Boy Scouts | The Daily Show YouTube video by The Daily Show

So Pete Hegseth is trying to turn the Boy Scouts of America into his own version of the Hitler Youth? I guess this shit was inevitable.

Same. Every new story about them is a rage button

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Only in United States can you be Pro-Death Penalty, Pro-War, Pro-Unmanned Drone Bombs, Pro-Nuclear Weapons, Pro-Guns, Pro-Torture, Pro-Land Mines, and still call yourself 'Pro-Life.'

I saw an episode of Detectorists the other day where a character joked, “Nostalgia conferences aren’t what they used to be.”

Would that be Markwayne “I did a misspoke” Mullin? Talk about a lateral move. Mullin is Noem with a dick, just another empty-brained incompetent.

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.

So what’s the SAVE Act really about?

Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.

Solve a fake problem. Create real barriers. #SaveActTaxesVoters

Trump fires homeland security secretary Kristi Noem Markwayne Mullin, Republican senator and Maga ally, to replace Noem as Democrats cheer departure of ‘disaster’

A miserable, thick piece of shit… fires another one.

What are Shabana Mahmood’s changes to the asylum system? Some of the home secretary’s major overhauls are already in place such as the 30-month review for refugee protections

A revolting list that proves Mahmood to be utterly lacking in humanity. A dearth reflected in her shark’s arse of a face.

Best way forward for Iran would be negotiated settlement, says Starmer PM defends decision not to join initial US-Israeli strikes and says UK is doing ‘everything we can’ to de-escalate situation

Yes, except Iran was already negotiating with the US when it was attacked by Israel, which is now threatening to kill any new appointed leader while Trump demands he chooses the leader. Not entirely sure how anyone is supposed to negotiate with that.

Getting fed up of Labour ministers saying that the way Labour is being run is not true to Labour values and then doing fuck all about it.

Cruelty to immigrants is not what my party stands for. It’s time for True Labour, not Blue Labour | Stella Creasy We must get back to the party’s roots before it is too late. That means embracing difference, rejecting division – and fighting for opportunities for all, says MP for Walthamstow, Stella Creasy

Yeah? Then gather your fellow backbenchers who supposedly agree with you to force a no confidence vote and fucking oust the current management. Or shut up and fuck off.
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lesson? What lesson?

Shabana Mahmood accused of mimicking Trump as she announces asylum plans Home secretary’s proposals to overhaul immigration system include end to permanent refugee status

She’s not mimicking, she embracing, the sadistic fuck. She’s up there with Starmer when it comes to squatting over Labour history and taking a fat shit over it. Her tearful instas when Farage deports her will be hilarious.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

Free us from this corporate AI that, driven only by the accumulation of wealth, seeks not to help humanity but to bypass it entirely, letting it starve while the chosen few worship at the altar of A.I-tollah Altman.

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won’t be able to do anything else at all | Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don’t want extremes – they want a system that is managed and fair, says home secretary Shabana Mahmood

Go fuck yourself.

More than a bit.

It’s pathetic

To anyone who thinks Trump can bring peace and equality to Iran – I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Going cheap | Marina Hyde If POTUS can really bomb peace, stability and women’s rights into the Middle East, I’ll take my hat off to him. Judging by his role in Gaza, I won’t hold my breath, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Brilliant piece from Marina Hyde.

The Guardian view on Labour’s migration gamble: Denmark is no template | Editorial Editorial: Extending settlement waits risks deepening labour shortages while misreading public concern about migration’s economic and demographic realities

Congratulations on posing for a photo that makes you look exactly like a gestapo officer inspecting a prison camp. Nazi chic suits Frau Mahmood, who will soon announce her next immigration policy plan of stabbing asylum seekers in the stomach on arrival to check for human blood.

UK puts emergency brake on study visas for four countries’ nationals Shabana Mahmood says UK’s generosity abused as study visas halted for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan

Working hard to win the racist Reform vote they’ll never get. Fucking arseholes.
