Don’t mistake UK media for UK Government or UK citizens - Starmer is being pilloried by our media for his stance along with mindless right wing parties - the public backs his assessment of this as an illegal war
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
Where is congress?
Some people here appear to believe that the prisoner who murdered Huntley was some sort of hero, not the dangerous thug he actually was and always will be.
Netanyahu won’t be satisfied until Tehran resembles Gaza……flattened and a pile of rubble. The man’s a war criminal with an unrelenting thirst for killing Arabs.
The girls of Minab deserved the same recognition afforded to any victims of violence anywhere in the world. They deserved to have their stories told, their lives acknowledged, and their deaths confronted with the seriousness such an atrocity demands.
Impressive that they’ve managed to hit on one of the few narratives that might unite the people of Iran against them
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Is it just me or is there something utterly grotesque about the British right wing press relishing this war....as though this is all just a huge compter game where the men, woman and child civilians who are blown into several pieces are of only periphery consequence?
It should not be possible for MPs, elected to work to represent us to do this.
A very interesting open letter to Donald Trump was published today by one of Dubai's most prominent figures.
@KhalafAlHabtoor is richer than Trump +his family will ever be, even after White House enrichment, and he packs a LOT of clout.
Here's the translation.
If Keir Starmer stood up in the Commons and said ”don’t drink bleach“ Kemi would be flooring it down to the nearest B&Q

Watched Dirty Business? Feeling despair, fury, frustration and outrage? You are not alone.
A new water law is coming. Let your MP know that it must have teeth.

Clear eyed, serious analysis. Spot on in every word.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Not sure just how depressing the evidence of the greed & ransacking by these Tories & their rich cronies can be. Not the best day to have started watching this. There is literally so much sh!t for this government to clear up - it needs to be better - f*ck Thatcher & what they did/enabled
This sums it up…
Trump says that people have “Trump derangement syndrome”…
But reality is that in this country many have “Starmer Derangement Syndrome”
Perfectly encapsulated by this.
Starmers principled calm balanced approach is correct, it’s so obvious the left and right hate him for it.
Wow! 🤯
The Spectator @spectator 9h G... Keir Starmer came under colossal personal pressure from Trump in a series of bully-ing phone call exchanges which one source, with Whitehall understatement, calls 'scratchy'. Another source says: Trump was very angry, demanding, "Why won't you let me use the bases?" We frequently talk about being shoulder to shoulder with the Americans but, as far as he is concerned, when it mattered to him we were not.' Matt Collins, the deputy national security adviser, was despatched to talk to Elbridge Colby, the US undersecretary for war, and 'got both barrels' as well. Tim Shipman
It demonstrates just how astronomically detached from reality the British right is, that they believe this makes Starmer look *bad*.
BBC News from Cyprus & Dubai….. seriously - expats are happy to take all the benefits of living outside the UK but expect the UK to jump to it if there’s a threat where they are. Choices/consequences 🤷🏻♀️ - people seriously want it all ends up 🤯
Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
Every which way we turn - avarice is destroying our world
In other news - excellent chase England - brilliant play by Bethell - well played India - an exciting & enjoyable distraction 🏏 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Most likely 🤷🏻♀️
Even if you support striking the Iranian regime, do not ignore the blowback.
Trump sending oil prices skyrocketing is the exact lifeline Putin needed to survive.
He might have just saved the Russian economy
Cos it is 🤷🏻♀️
