Farage U-turns again on Iran war as Reform’s policy descends into ‘chaos’

No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

"Kennedy wanted to steer the Jewish Zionists away from the racist, militaristic and ultra-nationalistic impulses which have led to where we are today."

The Vast Majority of Americans Want Trump Gone – and His War on Iran Has Only Made It Worse - Dorset Eye For years, Donald Trump has cultivated an image of strength: a leader willing to act decisively where others hesitate. But the reality of his presidency has increasingly collided with the mood of the American public. Nowhere is that collision clearer than in his decision to wage war against Iran — a conflict that has deepened […]

Frack Attack on Dorset: How Reform UK Intends to Tear Up the Jurassic Coast - Dorset Eye Drill, Baby, Drill — And Dorset Pays the Price For many residents of South Dorset, the idea that drilling rigs and gas wells could one day puncture the county’s peaceful countryside seems almost unimaginable. Yet the policies promoted by Reform UK suggest that such a future may not be far-fetched. The party led by Nigel […]

Britain is drifting into Donald Trump’s war. That has to be stopped THE tens of thousands who marched against war with Iran on Saturday speak for the huge majority of the British public.That is clear from every opinion poll. It was clear on the BBC’s politics show Question Time, where presenter Fiona Bruce, asking for a show of hands from those who thought Britain should get involved in Donald Trump’s war, had to concede it was “not many... a handful.”Once again, though, a yawning gulf separates the public from the delusions of the Westminster set.

War and mass casualties are never a "distraction". They are an abomination. But saying the war on Iran is a distraction from Epstein is especially ridiculous:

The Unheard Tapes of painter LS Lowry is a fascinating programme, with superbly 'synched' performances by Sir Ian McKellen and Annabel Smith. Uniquely revelatory and eye-opening.

The Green Party's magnificent Manchester victory sends a clear message to voters all over Britain - the traditional Establishment is losing control.
Not before time!!

Congratulations to the local Green Party organisers for a wonderful win in Manchester!
Let's hope this inspiring result sets the tone for the upcoming local elections, with Labour watching their backs and Reform's rotten relics of timeworn Tories well on the run!
