Qatar PM calls for diplomatic solution to end hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan The conflict raging between Afghanistan and Pakistan sends a "threatening signal" to the entire region, Qatar's PM tells Yalda Hakim.

From the border of Turkey to the border of India is not what I would call contained.

Yes, it’s going to take more than a vote to shift that toad. It would help if the eu would take Orban’s poisonous impact a little more seriously

Tony Blair tells of 'sorrow and regret' over Iraq - BBC News YouTube video by BBC News

Apparently not quite as sorry as he thought he was…

Chilcot report: Findings at-a-glance An at-a-glance summary of the findings of Sir John Chilcot's official report on the UK's involvement in the 2003 Iraq War.

This enquiry cost us 10 million by the way

2003 Keir Starmer wrote legal opinions & marched in protest against the Iraq War. 2015 he said the Iraq war was ‘not lawful under international law because there was no UN resolution expressly authorising it.’ He has not changed.

Toney Blair is also unchanged by the war or the Chilcot inquiry

Have to admit, he’s looking good for his age though …

And my disgustingly warm milk with the little blue straw. Quite glad he stopped that (at the time)

As a denizen of Sunderland, I remember the time when Ed destroyed the mining community (including the minors community centre where I had my dance classes) and said my city should be allowed to to die. As I recall he also did something to our ship builders

The crazy has increased with panic. He’s probably more dangerous now.

No way on earth Israel will sit quietly by while that happens. Hard to see how Trump could not be fully aware of how they will react.

He’s out to get you all. Honestly, I can’t see any other explanation for all the combined crap that Trump is putting your nation through. The Us has never had a greater enemy than its current president.

And there will be portraits of our savior/leader on every wall - which we will salute at 11.15. Any person seen disrespecting the image of our savior/leader will be reported and sent to a correction facility.

This is happening right across the west. Muslims are the first target but already fascists are extending their verbal hate to ‘Africans’ Indians & Jews. We have to stand shoulder to shoulder against this. No throwing anyone under the bus. No daylight between the people for respectful coexistence.

12,000 bombs …. Let that sink in.

The scammers are relentless.
Please understand, no book club is EVER going to proactively seek you out. It is natural to hope so but that is not how the world works.
They are NOT looking through millions of new books searching for your novel when they haven't even read Northanger Abbey yet

The faster humanity moves away from fossil fuels the better. For all the reasons

Tree with a human shape. Looks like it has arms outstretched while dancing

Dancing in the woods

The Campaign to Take Down Alex Bores Is Just the Beginning A leading AI industry-backed Super PAC is targeting a pro-regulation candidate — and building a strategy that other politicians will have to contend with.

True. It’s very clear in my area but there are plenty that could have people getting it wrong no matter how hard they try. Gorton and Denton could have gone reform this way

Go Hungarians! There isn’t likely to be a better time in the near future.

The same was done to Gaza.

Cruelty and law aside, this is a very stupid bar to set. The entire ME is water insecure. If iran does the same, no one has water.

I love how he put Maduro’s removal up there on the same level as Putin being weakened lol. Yes, honestly none of us would be able to sleep at all if Maduro hadn’t been dealt with ….

Does he not have a friend good enough to tell him to take a break?

Our once great ally also had a good long think before coming to our aid in the Falkland war

Of course I’ve been disappointed. 14 years of Tory rule & Brexit. And we’ve had some astoundingly incompetent people (eg Truss). But once incompetence becomes obvious leaders are out, their own party makes sure of it. And we don’t elect people who can’t remember whether or not they had breakfast

You don’t have a healthy democracy and haven’t for some time. You won’t have a healthy democracy unless you stop reverting to weird defensiveness whenever legitimate questions are raised about one side of your system

Why are you only testing for the one thing that you know Biden can’t pass when both have dysfunction? Little like stacking the cards isn’t it. The point is to make sure that people are able to perform the role adequately.

Which authoritarian regime uses cognitive and mental health tests? I’m petty sure the answer there is zero

So we are back to me saying fine, crack on with this wonderful system that has never let you down in any way and always brings out the younger voters. It’s your choice

You still want to insist Biden was fit to stand again? That’s insane.
