So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
Putin must be so pleased right now. More war and more chaos is exactly what he wants.

Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.
Pretty sure they brought in the wrong First Lady to testify...🤔😏
"The Greens are offering a new kind of politics – one that provides people with a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and agency."

Radiohead demands ICE remove their music from new advert: ‘It ain’t funny’
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.
Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social was just asked by Sky what he would say about the result tonight if “I held a gun to your head” - “I would ask you to be less violent” he replied.
Peston just told ITV News he thinks it will be a win for the Greens.
What an amazing, positive and honest campaign 💚💚💚🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸☮️☮️☮️🙌
the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.
"When Nigel is prime minister, there will not be a judge in the country that will be able to prevent flights from leaving." Zia Yusuf. If you don't find this statement profoundly disturbing, understand that what he is saying is that you have zero protection from the powers of the state. No rights.
Wherever you stand on immigration, the notion that it is acceptable to treat fellow human beings like this is truly abhorrent. Reform wants to create a UK version of ICE.

Community action stopped the climate-wrecking Whitehaven coal mine.
Now, its backers are suing the govt in a secret corporate court

This thread is worth a read.
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Backing Rejoin would turn the next election into the second Brexit referendum Sir Keir always wanted. It’s the logical step that might give him his best chance of winning.
Most Britons have never heard of the ridiculous Lowe or his party.

There appears to be evidence in the Epstein files that that Farage, Johnson and Rees-Mogg discussed with a foreign national Steve Bannon the possibility of bringing down a British PM.
Why is the media not investigating this?
A billionaire worth £17,000,000,000 who moved to Monaco to dodge £4,000,000,000 in tax is blaming immigrants for Britain’s problems.
If parasitic billionaires like Ratcliffe paid what they owe — & politicians weren’t in their pockets — our NHS, schools & public services wouldn’t be on their knees.
Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.
Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social
