The Iran war must be going so badly for the US that there are zero videos or photos of it from American official social media channels. I also heard tiktok and youtube are infested with imperial propaganda videos calling how the US has already won, lol.

BREAKING: The Ministry of Defence has explained it will not be deploying HMS Prince of Wales to the Middle East after the government's legal advisors explained that Iran would probably sink it

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

US B-52 heavy bombers arrive in England.

β€œThe B-52 is capable of dropping or launching the widest array of weapons in the US inventory. This includes gravity bombs, cluster bombs, precision guided missiles and joint direct attack munitions”.

Defensive?

Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of using white phosphorus in southern Lebanese town Human Rights Watch says the Israeli military unlawfully fired white phosphorus shells into a village in southern Lebanon

Israel breaks international law with impunity whilst the British government watches - and does nothing.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Democracy in the UK

Unelected Head of state
Unelected second chamber of parliament
MPs pressurized to toe the party line
Political parties, too many legislators available for hire to the super-rich
Unlike the EU no workplace democracy

FPTP skews election outcomes

Deep social/economic problems.

The Justice Secretary - a former barrister - suggests that being wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned for three years is just like β€œscraping your knee” in order to justify undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy. The most absurd argument yet

When profit kills: How private equity is eroding health care Peer-reviewed studies link private equity takeovers to more deaths and medical complications in nearly every corner of healthcare.

Curse of Private Equity

US evidence shows:
When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patientsβ€”especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treatβ€”are more likely to be killed or harmed.

Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.

Of course every environmentalist is anti-war!
What could be worse than the slaughter

the wanton destruction of natural habitats,
the spewing of millions of tons of
noxious greenhouse gases

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

Why are those who claim to hate immigration always the loudest advocates for the wars that increase immigration?

It’s almost as if they’re stupid.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

People wondering why so many socialists hate
Keir Starmer should reread the 10 pledges
(formulated by McSweeney & paedo-pal Mandelson)
which got him elected only to be ditched
as well as his hypocrisy standing as the unifying candidate
then starting a witch-hunt against left Labour

The Guardian view on EV charging: China took the right lessons from Britain’s past | Editorial Editorial: Megawatt fast EV charging reflects a coordinated grid strategy the UK once used. Privatisation and fragmentation now make that infrastructure far harder to build

"a quarter of the average household energy bill ~ Β£450 – flow today into corporate profits. Nearly 30% of a water bill in the English privatised system goes to shareholder returns and paying debt"

How privatisation ruined public utilities

The British right’s messianic zeal for a war that is illegal, has no clear goals, and has nothing much to do with the UK (beyond defence) is not the biggest story right now, but it is one of the most baffling

They did this in the Lebanon War in 2006: they just bombed anything that looked like it had any social or economic value - bakeries, ports, factories, on and on, then told the world every single one was a military target. It was all lies then, just as it has been for years here.

A growing Jewish challenge to Israel’s war narrative Jewish organisations using social media are challenging dominant narratives about Israel’s actions in Gaza, framing the conflict through human rights, international law and Jewish ethical traditions.

β€œβ€”these orgs position themselves as β€œpartners for peace” in what historian Yakov Rabkin describes as β€œIsrael in Palestine”, while also echoing calls by scholars such as Ilan PappΓ© and Avi Shlaim for a Jewish rejection of Zionism as a β€œsettler-colonial” ideology.”
