Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

I understand the temptation to mock. And I certainly wouldn't dissuade anyone. But it's no fucking joke that a Labour Government is choosing to pitch roll for fascism.

Without MSM including BBC platforming them. Reform and Farage would be non entities. It goes beyond being uncritical, their platforming has given them ample oxygen to breathem & thrive!

Media must stop normalizing the far right Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

OPINION: Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial choice with political consequences.

Here’s how some media outlets are no longer just covering these forces β€” but amplifying them.

but add "iran says" to make it sound less certain.

Not just Starmer though is it. BBC use this exact same model for giving credibility to Farage/reform while disparaging the Greens.

It's the Telegraph but Trump allegedly tells Starmer to "open up the North Sea immediately".

#SNP1 #GREEN2 would seem like the obvious choice. I'm more worried about a tiny SNP maj happening than a whopping indy one. The SNP need to be kept honest, but what about those hidden wallopers (that noone knew about) that leave the party mid cycle and kill that majority anyway. Maybe it's just me.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I think the thing that irritates me the most is the MSM (like the Beeb) just amplifying anything that spews forth from his mouth. It's the main reason we are where we are. Without MSM oxygen Farage/reform would be an irrelevance.

At least we now know the one issue on which Keir Starmer will never u-turn: Scottish independence. He’ll twist and turn on any other matter - even war - but he’s an implacable mountain of certainty when it comes to democracy, or the denial of it, in Scotland

Greens now in second place ahead of Labour for the first time in a new YouGov poll, and just two points behind Reform.

Lowest ever rating for Keir Starmer's party

REF: 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc)

After getting a sound thrashing in the by-election, I decided to blame the loss on Muslim women not being allowed to vote for the racists who have spent the last few years demonising them."

Schools, hospitals, just a mistake of course by the same players that could somehow do a precision take out of Khamenei. We've seen this somewhere before and did nothing.

Thanks for all the kind comments!

I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else.

But you know what - bring it on. πŸ’š

For all its efforts, and all its dishonesty, the media could not prevent the Greens succeeding in Gorton & Denton. The revealed impotence of the media might be the most important consequence of the by-election.

If only there was some political party with a huge majority in power that could push PR through parliament.

Weird how thousands of virulently pro-MAGA accounts wake up at exactly 8:00 AM Israeli time.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership
