Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Paying for the King to legitimise a law breaking despotic monster (again) is not what i want my tax to pay for.

Blair sparks row with Starmer after claiming UK ‘should have backed Trump’ in Iran The former prime minister told a private event that Labour ‘had better show up’ for Washington

Putting aside the breathtaking irony of Blair criticising Starmer for not leaping into an illegal war I do wonder how much Trump is paying him to sit on his hilariously named Board of Peace. Could Blair possibly be a traitorous gob for hire?

I only need 2 things for UK’s COVID-19 Day of Reflection:

1) The arrest of all profiteers (inc posh establishment ones with peerages)

2) The arrest of Government ministers directly responsible for unnecessary deaths (inc Johnson, Hancock & Cummings). A charge of Treason will do.

I’ve just returned to UK after 6 yrs in France (in N Ireland now not England but same applies)

5 things I most missed:
1) Pubs (gaping social hole)
2) Kindness (we have way more)
3) Good local restaurants (see above)
4) Rain (stuff of life, you miss it when it’s gone)
5) Indian food (obviously)

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

Yep complete with old testament blood lust.

Which should be comforting until you look at his Generals 😳

Maybe read an entire post before attacking it?

Reactionaries convinced us for decades that something like gender studies has no practical use in society, and I know many reasonable people also believe(d?) this. It was the butt of the joke for as log as I can remember.

But OMG does this video drive home the point they were wrong.

Every important journalist question that he doesn’t want to answer is a stupid question

Unfortunately I agree

That the evidence is sitting in plain sight and Trump is successfully waging an illegal war and sacrificing the US military to detract from it.

every last one of these people need to be tried and jailed as the goons and criminals they are. No exceptions.

This makes horrific reading. I really struggle to understand why the UK government is allowing this barbaric US regime to use its military airbases.

UK's Starmer discusses military, intelligence support with Saudi crown prince British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke ​to Saudi Arabia Crown ‌Prince Mohammed bin Salman after Iran's strikes ​on the kingdom ​amid a sprawling conflict in the ⁠region, Downing Street ​said in a s...

Is it not time for the UK to re-assess who our ‘allies’ are?
US is illegally invading & bombing sovereign countries & aiding Putin.
Saudi has a murderous despotic regime that stands against everything ‘British values’ and is stinking rich.
Why are we spending UK taxpayer money defending either?

The pillory sounds like an excellent idea. The queues to throw rotten tomatoes would span the length of breadth of the UK 😀

Me neither.

100%. I entirely fail to understand how the US illegally dropping bombs on Iran’s people can be described as ‘defensive’.
The UK should be rescuing citizens in danger and defending against incoming attacks only.
And why the hell is british taxpayer money being spent on protecting Saudi Arabia?

Tory peer to leave Lords after investigation finds he breached standards over Covid PPE deals Lord Chadlington introduced government to company in which he had financial interest in 2020

How is losing his seat in House of Lords appropriate punishment for risking lives, enriching himself & wasting taxpayer money?

What the hell happened to Labour’s promised Covid Czar who was going to lock up covid fraudsters and get our money back?

Your reading of my response by the sound of it 😀

You’ve got to pity the poor lad’s parentage but in a week when his mother is preaching to the UN about the importance of protecting children’s education whilst his father bombs a school massacring its pupils it’s hardly surprising he’s seen as fair game.

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

Because Starmer is weak and complicity is his middle name.

I’m not a Starmer fan but you’re not wrong.

Netanyahu & Trump are waging illegal wars & destroying World order. They are despotic lunatics acting only to enrich themselves & avoid jail.
When does the coalition of the willing become the coalition for democracy, go to the Hague, file an arrest warrant for Trump & go to US en masse to serve it?

“Lovely presentation, it’s like a wet fart”
A rather unexpected compliment from Monica Galetti 😂

And to think he was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Devastating but not surprising. The oscars should feature him live on screen during the ceremony.
