Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ is in many ways already a non-voting ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

According to Ch7 News:
"explosions taking place in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Lebanese capital."

Wow! I wonder who caused that?!?!
I mean, it wouldn't be Israel surely, because Israel has a ceasefire in place with Lebanon. ๐Ÿค”

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesโ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

"Beirut is under assault too. The Israeli military orders hundreds of thousands of people to leave the southern suburbs"

What do we call a regime that terrorises hundreds of thousands of people in a neighbouring country?

A terrorist state.

So now 'we' are directly responsible.

It was always a matter of time. Starmer's boss wasn't happy with him.

'Bringing back control'. NOT.

This is a life and death story for the UK โ€“ so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state weโ€™re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A fierce angry rant about falling healthy life expectancy, the inequality of its incidence, the legacy of austerity and Starmer and Reeves's seeming disinterest in doing anything about it

Official secrecy is alive and well to hide embarrassing revelations about the failures of the UK government.

The most authoritarian, anti-human government in my lifetime - and none of this was in their election bid. Starmer and his cronies are a lost cause, but what the fuck are the Labour party and members doing allowing this to happen on their watch?

UK sending more fighter jets to the Middle East, says Starmer Four extra Typhoon fighter jets are being deployed to Qatar, with two Wildcat helicopters armed with drone-busting missiles heading for Cyprus.

Who told Starmer off, his wife or Netayahu?

Interested to see UK government is trailing vaccinating Turkeys against bird flu. So can we not vaccinate cattle against TB and end the badger cull? Simplistic observation, but why kill so many badgers?

This is why he bombed Iran. So no would be watching him remove files about his crimes and corruption with Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ is covering up the crimes of our rapist president.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill wonโ€™t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

All party policies are bought by the corporate bribes

Human Wreckage 365 project day 38: opening to a badger sett. Badgers are protected by law but the UK government continues to facilitate a war against them (euphemistically called culling) to placate farmers who exploit other animals & have them killed when theyโ€™re no longer useful.
