The silent gang:

They know they are betraying their values and everyone who supported them by remaining in the Trump administration as it strikes Iran, but as spineless opportunists, they stay

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."

Pete Hegseth's Worldview Is Even Worse Than His Personal Behavior Hegseth thinks we should disregard the Geneva conventions, embrace violence, and pursue a β€œclash of civilizations” war against Islam. He’s a terrifying Secretary of Defense who exposes the hollowness ...

@mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social

This is the Secretary of "War" confirmed by the US Congress.

This man is an outright Islamophobe. And no nation, especially Canada should join or support ANY war or battle that he is a part of.

If Muslims do this we call them radical terrorists and drop bombs on them.

The post mortem of 2024 is a classic in only acknowledging the top line result, rather than thinking what par would have been for the starting position. Hemorrhaging votes in solid Labour areas should have been a massive warning light.

The left wants to primary Democrats who break with the party on Iran Progressive groups "are already preparing," one House Democrat said.

Good. Now is the time.

With "centrist" Vichy Dems like these who needs neocon war hawks?

In 2020, trump said it was β€œstupid” that America spent trillions on Middle East conflicts while our healthcare, roads, and schools needed fixing.

Now look what he’s doing.
Same wars. Same costs.
Same neglect at home.

The only thing that changed was the excuse.

For Iran, Russia's lackluster response in its hour of need should come as no surprise.

Whatever It Takes Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to cling to power.

Netanyahu has waged war against the institutions that he believes conspired to bring him down: the police, the media, the prosecution, and the court system. buff.ly/GhkkwQV

Trump: "We won on tariffs, actually. Somebody said, 'You actually won the case.' We won on tariffs. You had a decision that was wrong."

International Law is what sprang from that war you're obsessed with Nigel.

The one you think was all Victor Comics and Where Eagles Dare.

The one - like pretty much everything in history whose important legacy you singularly fail to understand

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

⭕️ Former Rep MTG: 

β€œWhat we have seen right now is 100 little girls killed in a school… And our President is saying that the Iranian people are all of a sudden going to topple their regime. Well, I don’t think the Iranian people are going to be toppling their regime when they’re getting blown apart by the US and Israel in an unprovoked attack. And yes it was unprovoked.”

β€œI am irate. I am furious about this… What is happening to the man I supported… The man that said no more regime change wars. We’re a year in and we’re in another fucking war β€” and American troops are being killed. 

We need to have a serious conversation about what the fuck is happening to this country.”

πŸ”΄ BREAKING: Fragmentation Munition Impact Reported in Bnei Brak, Fires Reported in Central Israel

Israeli and Iranian Telegram channels shared footage showing damage in Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv, after what Iranian IRGC-affiliated media described as an Iranian fragmentation munition impact in the city.

Separate videos circulated online show fires burning in what was reported as central Israel following the impact. It was not immediately clear whether the fires and the reported strike in Bnei Brak refer to the same site.

@araghchi
Mr. Rubio admitted what we all knew: U.S. has entered a war of choice on behalf of Israel. There was never any so-called Iranian "threat". 

Shedding of both American and Iranian blood is thus on Israel Firsters.

American people deserve better and should take back their country.

Deliverism was already dead based on the results of the 2024 US election results. Labour is following the same failed formula. You need to deliver as well as control the narrative.

Tory frontbencher James Cleverly opposes Labour's elections bill partly as "it does not include effective measures to tackle foreign interference from China and other hostile actors."

Pretty brave coming from someone who served in the last Government. They left the floodgates open for 14 years.
