Utterly baffling briefing just now with Kemi Badenoch’s spokesman in which he repeatedly insists that “we’re in the war” with Iran and that she supports it, while simultaneously denying she ever said she wants to join the war she thinks we're already in
A black and white photograph from above showing the extensive grounds surrounding the gigantic palace on Embassy Row, Washington DC that the British Ambassador gets to live in whilst paid £10,000 per week for the privilege.
Abhorrent ghoul, Peter Mandelson was paid £10,000 every week as US Ambassador. That's on top of living here (not the British Embassy, you understand, it's the Ambassador's Residence).
He demanded £500,000 severance pay & didn't deserve the £75,000 he got, especially an extra £34,670 paid as a gift.
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

I hope the strait of Hormuz is closed for as long as Israel closed the Rafah border. Yes. This affects all of us, so does genocide, but that didnt seem to move enough people, so maybe inflation will
We don't notice shit in the West until it hits us in the wallet
Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.
Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.
Monday's Thought - Instead of making voting easier, the GOP does all they can to make it more difficult. Now, everyone has to provide ID to register to vote. Now, they want Passports, etc. for us to actually vote. That is a Poll Tax. They base these onerous conditions of fraud. There is none.
It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Thousands of lawyers oppose jury restriction plan.
Govt wants to restrict the right to jury trials to reduce backlog of court cases.
Backlog caused by Tory austerity and cuts.
Need investment, not cuts in human rights.
Lost rights are hard to recover.
Nigel Farage spent the weekend having dinner with a suspected paedophile, a sex offender, criminal and an adjudicated rapist.
How delusional can you get?
Our president is one of the most arrogantly stupid leaders in the history of this planet.
Trump doesn’t have the ability to dictate when the war is over.
Today, The Business and Trade Committee questioned Trade Minister Chris Bryant MP on whether Britain can afford to continue 'straddling the Channel and the Atlantic'. The answer is clear, we have the largest trading bloc in the world on our doorstep: it's time to rejoin the single market.
Sarah Sackman: "The British governments position is clear, we want to see a de-escalation of this conflict"
.. and that's why we're allowing the US to use British military bases to bomb Iran!
Sackman & the govt are treating us like fools.
Iran is telling countries that they can have access to the Strait of Hormuz as soon as they expel the ambassadors of the United States and Israel from their countries. Seems fair to me hehe.🔥
UK democracy in action.
Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.
No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.
In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs “deliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
WAR will NOT make Pedophilia go away!

Anti-war protests held in 50 U.S. cities over weekend. “...demonstrators rallied & marched in major U.S. cities, including New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Pittsburgh & San Francisco, demanding that the Trump admin. put an end to the war [on Iran]." english.news.cn/northamerica...
While Democrats make procedural criticisms of Trump, they ultimately support the broader goals of the war and have taken no serious action to stop it.

British Business and the single market. Leaving the EU single market has created new barriers for British businesses. Evidence shows the UK economy has underperformed comparable countries since Brexit. UK GDP per head has grown 6-10% less than similar economies, with estimates suggesting Brexit has reduced GDP per capita by around 8%. Read the summary.
European Movement UK are calling on the Government to seek to join the single market and customs union, ensure any negotiated arrangement includes the restoration of freedom of movement, and include small and medium-sized businesses in future engagement with the European Union.
It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.
What the hell would thousands of lawyers know about it?
