President Trump demands unconditional surrender in respect of something his government insists is not a war.

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

Nigel Farage is in Mar-a-Lago tonight (not Clacton, obvs). Via Politico: "What Farage should be doing: Sorting out his Reform documents with Companies House. The party is overdue on submitting a [legally mandatory] statement."

Retired British general dismantling a right wing US gobshite on Channel 4 news right now is a thing of beauty. Collision of someone who hasn't thought about anything hitting someone who measures every word he uses.

Iran Crisis: They Wanted Sovereignty. Just Not Like This If anyone has ruined the special relationship, it's not Starmer- it's Trump

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britainโ€™s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

Latest substack from me.

Middle East crisis live: Israel bombs Tehran and Beirut as Trump says no deal with Iran โ€˜except unconditional surrenderโ€™ Israel launched huge attacks on Iran and Lebanon overnight

So, Russia is helping Iran to bomb US targets

And Ukraine is helping to defend US targets against Iranian drones

And Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Russia?

"Russia providing Iran intelligence to target US forces "

Last month I was in Beirut visiting Makani, an organisation that works with refugee women in the UK and Lebanon.
I met the most brilliant women at the charity's centre, who have built a great community & also do skilled (& genuinely beautiful) creative work in embroidery and crochet. So I have 1/3

Israel is demanding that everyone leave South Beirut, so they can level it like they did to Gaza.

Beirut is 536km from Israel.

Israel should not be there.

I listened to our Eurovision entry and it sounds like a song you'd hear in a CBBC show called Jasper's Krazy World where the presenter has a sidekick who's a talking fridge.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

The right-wing used to go bonkers about the UK negotiating common EU consumer protection rules.

Now they believe Britain shld join any US military operation โ€œregardless of our own interests, our own views or our own democratic processesโ€.

They want โ€œtotal subservience to American decision-makingโ€

Today, Europeโ€™s energy system is cleaner, much more diverse - and much more stable than a few years ago.

Yet the developments in the Middle East remind us once again of the risks of relying still too much on fossil fuels.

Previously the IDF has issued only much narrower evacuation orders for urban areas of Lebanon (specific buildings or blocks).

Now, as it did in Gaza, itโ€™s telling people they need to get out of whole neighborhoods of suburban Beirut, as well as the entirety of southern Lebanon south of the Litani.

The deranged attacks on Miliband have nothing to do with North Sea oil & gas, which peaked in 1999.

Itโ€™s about keeping Britain hooked on fossil fuels.

Even with new licences, North Sea output will fall by 95% from 2026 to 2050.

Only renewables can deliver British energy sovereignty.

As UK-EU relations become more structured, the Commons needs a European Scrutiny Committee. The House of Commons needs a scrutiny structure that reflects the reality of the UK-EU relationship which is now taking shape.

Reform councillor Graham Eardley has been suspended for behaving so aggressively towards a female volunteer that security had to escort him out. Thatโ€™s at least 63 Reform councillors gone in ten months โ€“ nearly one in ten!

Damning verdict on social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning' Baroness Louise Casey has been tasked with leading an independent probe into social care, to pave the way for the 'National Care Service' that Labour promised in its manifesto

Damning verdict on England social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning'.

22 major reviews over 3 decades. Govts do nothing.

No integrated healthcare system. Social care privatised. Corporations profiteering. Public money buys less. Govt handing the NHS to them as well

End privatisation.

'If we don't do the racism, someone even worse will do the racism'. [Uncannily similar to Farage's recent remarks]. Aside from being morally unfit she doesn't seem to grasp that the evidence shows that the politics is not working either. Any recovery by Labour has to begin with sacking her.

This just keeps on coming back around forever doesn't it (and then we have to point out all the issues with grammars yet again) - selecting by "ability" often means selecting by wealth, and outcomes are worse for the kids outside of grammars - we should care about them too.
