Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.
In the last three days, the Brexiters have been losing their shit because "MPs were dancing while the war in Iran was going on."
Here's Farage yesterday.
And nothing...

Even if they don’t surrender, we will call that an unconditional surrender and declare victory. bsky.app/profile/atru...
This confirms what we already knew, but what is not talked about enough.
russia, a terrorist state, is directly targeting Europe with acts intended to kill.
It is at war with us.
This will only intensify, maybe dramatically, until Moscow is completely defeated in Ukraine.

So when Donald Trump, famed for his incisive knowledge of intelligence, has a *hunch* that the US has prevailed, we will all *imagine* that Iran has unconditionally surrendered.
These are not serious, competent, or responsible people.
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
In the newest episode of Russian Roulette, @erep.csis.org welcomes Eric Ciaramella of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to discuss the ways that European states can support Ukraine militarily without the involvement of the U.S.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Command post of the 81st Separate Airmobile Slobozhanska Brigade. The warriors are currently defending Slovyansk from the north – the Yampil and Siversk directions. I spoke with the defenders and presented them with state awards.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.
📌Note: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.
Iranian Kurdish militias have held talks with the US about whether they could launch attacks on Iran’s security forces in the country’s west. They have been training for such an operation with the aim of weakening Iran’s military. Kurdish opposition mapped: reut.rs/4rbjj9j
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Important to seek clarity today on whether Home Office and No 10 will try to defend - or will now withdraw - a false+misleading claim applying settlement reforms to 2022-24 cohort saves £10bn
Not just overspinning lifetime saving in 30 years time
Gvt policy doesn't save maybe £8-10 billion of it!
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”
Here's what Bellingcat has been up to this week:
Bellingcat analysed imagery and reporting from the first days of the conflict with Iran to identify US, Israeli and Iranian munitions now being deployed.

The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...
Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.
You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

You can see why: it’s been a few weeks since Trump betrayed the Syrian Kurds. Need to find some new Kurds to screw over.
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.
Here’s what happened:
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
UKRAINE IS SENDING SPECIALIST DRONE OPERATORS TO MIDDLE EAST
Not only to defend the US bases but at the request of several monarchies who have no means of defence against drones. On what appear to have been a ‘name your price’ scenario President Zelensky authorised their deployment. The Arab states
The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!
Graph showing how support for the war varies with partisanship.
"Before he was elected, he promised that the US would not get involved in any more wars in the middle east. It appears that most Republicans and nearly all the Maga supporters are quite willing to go along with the U-turn and agree with anything he does." Source: theconversation.com/what-america...
