Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

The good kind of infighting. Creasy explaining very clearly why the policy sucks. More power to the backbenchers
Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.
Trump: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen."
We should be asking British politicians this question. Answers provide a powerful indicator of integrity. Not sure I’ve ever heard it put to Farage, for example.
On issue after issue, we see that Labour voters share most values with Green and Lib Dem voters and almost none with Reform voters. And yet Labour's strategy does not reflect that. The dissonance drives me mad on a daily basis. How many times can one underline the obvious?

This is excellent news. A really important decision.
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps
Looks like Iran has decided on three types of targets: US military bases in the region (Bahrain & others), oil infrastructure (eastern Saudi Arabia) and, perhaps most escalatory of all, densely populated urban areas to maximise economic and political impact (Dubai).
I wrote this just over a year ago.
Well worth revisiting now as it gives full details of all the background to, and significance of, this vote, which Iceland is now speeding up.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
The Iranian regime is objectively hideous. It murders & incarcerates innocent people, threatens & attacks sovereign neighbours, routinely breaks international law, outlaws dissent & crushes free speech.
Can you see the problem with *Donald Trump & Benjamin Netanyahu* leading the attack on them?
I can't imagine a better demonstration of the advantages of the Single Transferable Vote.
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
Jeffries: "What happened to Iran's nuclear program being 'completely and totally obliterated'? Donald Trump's words, not our words. Clearly he was lying to the American people or he's lying right now."
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
US:
"We are all one Western Civilization sharing a common thread from Athens to Rome to America."
EU:
"We've actually been building institutions to bring Europe closer together, pooling our sovereignty around shared values and..."
US:
"No. Not like that."
“The entire world says [Israel’s] illegal occupation... And the head journalist at ABC, as you say, thinks that's antisemitic to say that.”

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
Richard Moth becomes the 12th Archbishop of Westminster on Saturday.
He wasn't initially called to religion, but then he saw the light.
This is shocking. Cost of living crisis laid bare as almost half of Britons ‘have under £25 left at end of week’
Majority of UK adults forced to make difficult choices, with almost two-thirds found to be cutting back on essentials like food and heating

Justice isn’t ICE leaving Minnesota.
Justice is ICE being held accountable for murdering Americans.
