Oh!

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

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.

A must read from @iandunt.bsky.social

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.

Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

I suspect @raskin.house.gov will enter the history books as one of the few heroes of America's Trump era.

‘please do not rely on the US government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time. there are currently no United States evacuation points.’ — the recorded message you hear when you call the Office of Overseas Citizens Services hotline.

I'm not making this up. if you're an American stranded in the Middle East and you call the State Department help line, you get a recorded message pretty much telling you to go fuck yourself. thank you for your attention to my extremely angry post about it. link is here: bit.ly/409JSAA

Tactical Voting and more importantly accurate constituency by constituency information will be key to stopping a Trump lite Farage Government in the UK 🇬🇧

Yes, completely unforeseeable airspace closures.

@krishgm.bsky.social So the argument offered by McMaster tonight was “how has International Law helped the oppressed people of Iran?”
US apologists are like vigilantes who’ve murdered the burglars, asking how has the law helped the victims of the burglary. This way lies anarchy!

If only they’d realised commercial airliners might be reluctant to fly in and out of a war zone!

If only they’d realised commercial airliners might be reluctant to fly in and out of a war zone!

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

It's not Roosevelt we're dealing with. Hell, it's not even Nixon.

Trump says Starmer is “not Churchill”

Leaving aside how far from FDR Trump is, this shows US interests are not UK Interests.

This war is illegal. The UK still values international law.

Hopefully this criticism by Trump will finally convince Starmer that the US President cannot be placated.

It’s cruelty as policy! End of.

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

I wonder what she'll think, when she's out of government in a few months time. Was it worth it? Persecuting refugees in order to satisfy an electoral strategy even she probably doesn't believe in. Pissing away the last dregs of your integrity for a plan which has already been shown not to work.

Reform UK is in big trouble – which means it will fight dirtier than ever The Gorton and Denton results should encourage the government to seriously look at introducing an alternative vote system before the next election, or chaos will surely reign, writes David Aaronovitch

Hi Nigel Farage, are you elderly or infirm?

Because in 2024, when you stood for election you voted by post (in Kent because you didn’t, and still don’t live in Clacton).

#PostalVoting

Lib Dems have demanded a vote in Parliament Ian.

We seem to have forgotten that Trump’s National Security Strategy recently made no mention of NATO or the protection of liberal democratic values & instead said they should back right wing populists across Europe.

Trump’s US is not our partner!
