MSN Trending Now news Lammy: RAF jets could legally strike Iran's missile bases
UK government: "we're not joining the war in Iran"
Lammy: "LETS GO BOMB THOSE FUCKERS"
I wish this didn't feel so prophetic but considering how the alternative is Trump & Hegseth accepting a humiliating climbdown, and that the bedrock behaviour of the US & Israel from the Gaza Genocide onwards has been exercises in intelligence-insulting irony, it's becoming harder to discount.
What I thought was a joke is real: you can now bet on German train delays. bahn.bet
Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act. The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people. Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. “Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. “That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.”
Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"
'conversations about AI sound fundamentally different in Africa....There, debates about technocratic issues such as innovation, productivity, regulation and “safety” – the anxieties of the designer and the proprietor – are inseparable from histories of extraction and epistemic violence.' 1/2
There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.
If it’s not a regime change operation; if there is no intention to advance to a ground invasion; if the strategy is to provoke inter-ethnic uprisings and conflicts; if the plan is to smart bomb until there is none left, then switch to dumb bombs, then the practical objective is tacit: Genocide.
GB News has never made a profit because it doesn’t exist to make a profit. It exists to exert pressure to push broadcast news channels further rightwards. It is about further poisoning the information environment. That’s why it exists.
The UK is at minimum complicit in war crimes
morbidly curious about which wars of the past were "politically correct"
Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to
Extremely bad

And this was a strategy used by Israel against Gazans first

west wing brain is the single biggest problem affecting the democrats - the leaders, the voters, all of it. even if they didnt directly watch the show, theyre addicted to its ethos of not fighting in the mud with the monsters.
its quite rich to handwring about risking escalation while ultimately siding with the country that just launched thousands of unprovoked strikes and killed a foreign leader
Well that's it: Film Studies and Modern Languages programmes to close at Leicester Uni. Sad and wrong. Every day, the UK becomes a little less outward looking.
In a press conference this afternoon Keir Starmer tells the country this conflict could go on for some time and he will do everything he can to uphold British values.
Helping the US & Israel while they murder kids. Those sorts of values?
hey did you intend for this to sound like ad copy
What's happening in the NHS?
I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before
Labour is a far right party
Party Total reported Donations accepted (excl. public funds) Public funds accepted Total accepted in this quarter Alliance - Alliance Party of Northern Ireland £65,140 £20,538 £44,602 £65,140 Conservative and Unionist Party £4,216,224 £2,401,452 £1,614,729 £4,016,181 Co-operative Party £131,180 £131,180 £0 £131,180 Democratic Unionist Party - D.U.P. £104,320 £0 £104,320 £104,320 Green Party £294,069 £189,010 £98,764 £287,773 Labour Party £2,043,007 £1,943,824 £31,836 £1,975,660 Liberal Democrats £2,190,101 £1,314,139 £749,173 £2,063,312 Open Party £197,151 £155,067 £0 £155,067 People Before Profit £8,605 £0 £6,453 £6,453 Plaid Cymru - The Party of Wales £63,967 £30,000 £33,967 £63,967 Reform UK £5,473,000 £5,456,000 £0
The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.
New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:
🟢 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000
Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.
This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future
Call me crazy but I feel like this guy's more of a flight risk than the kids who just spent nearly a year in prison without trial.
Dang, are we already on the fifth line of The Narcissist's Prayer? That was fast
Never mind all the previous wars: the Trumpers arrived in power to take over administration of an ongoing genocide that liberal civilisation very loudly agreed was fully justified and could not be opposed, except as a declaration of terrorist sympathies. That was on day one, the starting pistol.
BREAKING — The UK is joining in with the US/Israeli/French campaign against independent UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
In response to a question from arch Israel lobbyist Luke Akehurst, it says it wants her comments on Israel to be “urgently investigated”.
