Good. Iran has launched missiles at our base in Cyprus alongside hitting civilian targets in third countries not involved in the original bombing.

We should be doing everything to undermine and destabilise the Iranian regime, so that the Iranian people can overthrow it.

This shouldn't be a question, and this also isn't something that the King should really get much/any say in.

A fundamental element of the post glorious revolution monarchy is that when it comes down to it, parliament gets to pick and choose.

Yeh I mean it won't be on my reading list 🀣

It's even more unreadable than I expected.

Only skimmed it but one seems to just be a regurgitation of the obsessive beef with that one LDV article from years ago, and the only article that's not terf related is literally from a dead guy.

The one time I actually want Excel to do a date (in a column that's literally always a date) it's suddenly deciding to ruin my day by turning it into text

Absolutely hate to hand it to the S*n but that's literally the only possible tabloid headline to go with here. 0/10 from the Mirror and DM.

It'll be very interesting how the misconduct in public office prosecution progresses. The max sentence is life imprisonment.

He should absolutely go to prison for life accounting for all the other stuff, and this should be used to Al Capone him

First good thing that Thames valley police has ever done

Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to

I certainly wouldn't go around them all getting them to write articles for my grievance I know I'm going to lose on.

As a dedicated long standing Liberal Democrat member, activist and office holder I don't think there are any circumstances I'd go to the right wing press to slag off the party even when it's wrong, I would (and have) dealt with stuff internally.

Thames Water paid Β£1m-plus to corporate spooks firm part-owned by Starmer adviser Exclusive: Hakluyt – formerly run by Varun Chandra – has been advising utilities company as it tries to avoid renationalisation A corporate intelligence company part-owned and formerly run by the prime minister’s business adviser has been paid more than Β£1m by Thames Water as the utilities firm tries to avoid renationalisation, the Guardian can reveal. Hakluyt, which was run by Varun Chandra until his appointment as Keir Starmer’s business adviser last July, has worked with Thames since 2023, providing political and strategic advice.

Ah well I guess we now know why the Gov was so resistant to taking Thames Water into public control and why the Gov kept insisting it would involve massive payouts to the ownership.

Really happy to see this, and absolutely love the stuff on youth engagement.

It's something that needs a lot of work to get us to where we need, and absolutely have faith that Josh will be able to get us going in the right direction.

You can absolutely get to fuck. The oxcam arc is not coherent enough to have that being the primary regional borders

Who on the committee were they worried would leak? Cos if the Gov don't even tell the ISC then what's the point?

The biggest issue with this was that he said he still wouldn't tell the Intelligence and Security Committee

One of the big questions needs to be why they felt they couldn't tell the members of the committee (who are nominated by the PM, approved by parliament and have clearence)

They spent all morning on #r4today teasing the Grant Shapps interview (first place he's talking, I wonder why he chose the today programme) and it was totally pointless.

Completely softball and let him dismiss any sort of democratic or parliamentary oversight without pushback

Will be interesting what balance #r4today does in the morning, they seemed to spend most of todays one self congratulating themselves about getting an interview with trump.

The absolute worst BBC content is coverage about themselves. They are usually overly critical but also it just has a weird vibe, especially when it's an interview of the DG.

Should have just done more on the Afghan leak instead of cutting that off on #Newsnight

And when they did start resetting people, the super injunction meant it was done with absolutely no accountability or parliament knowing the gov spent Β£7bn

That is not what the super injunction was though. For a long long time while it was in place they only resettled tiny numbers, and the super injunction and lack of reporting just meant a higher risk of the Taliban getting the info and the Afghans not knowing.

One of the reasons why chronically online leftist foreign discourse is so aimless is that they simultaneously hold the view that western (liberal) intervention is bad, so it doesn't actually matter how many elected officials you have cos all they will do is make noise.

Superman is very explicitly idealistic liberal interventionism (idealistic because it isn't muddled by the reality of politics).

In-universe chronically online leftists would almost certainly be crying about Superman being western interference and making things worse so don't get them cheering

You're an absolutely fantastic MP, really sad that this has happened.

Really strange logic going on here by the leadership and their anonymous sources in the press.

The #1 priority after the next election for all parties needs to be PR (And LDs/SNP/Greens/new-socialist-party should probably try and agree on what form (the answer is STV))
