Big story that got buried last week.
As news focused on Iran, ProPublica revealed Trump officials met with election deniers pushing a “national emergency” plan to fuel's Trump's 2026 election takeover.
Same ones who tried to overturn his 2020 loss.
Critical 2-min watch. ⬇️
This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.
If the BBC actually did its job, it wouldn’t have placed scare quotes on the term illegal. The action >is< illegal under international law. Why is it incapable of neutrality? The state broadcaster seems to be a wing of UK govt propaganda.
Former Irish president condemns 'illegal' attacks on Iran.
So glad you liked it!

For my money, this is the take of the week from @richardtoye.bsky.social Interesting deep dive into Trump's latest display of historical ignorance.
I just signed a @uscedp.bsky.social petition: Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/go...
Research by @richardtoye.bsky.social and Dr Warren Dockter
A very good deep dive comparing area-based social policies under both Harold Wilson and Keir Starmer here from @historyandpolicy.bsky.social. Strong recommend.

"Churchill was well aware that wars and interventions could produce unintended consequences. Reflecting on his experiences as a young officer during the Boer war, he later wrote that once the signal for conflict was given, statesmen lost control of events. War became subject to “malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations”. This was not the sentiment of a pacifist. But it was the observation of someone who had seen how quickly political decisions could unleash forces that no government could fully control."
"Churchill observed that war, once unleashed, rarely follows the tidy paths imagined by those who start it. That warning may be as relevant as any of his more famous phrases."
Good piece by @richardtoye.bsky.social on Churchill analogies and Trump's war on Iran.
Listen in to Exeter academic @richardtoye.bsky.social's podcast @finesthalfhour.bsky.social about Winston Churchill.

Author Prof Richard Toye has many years experience studying the career and speeches of Winston Churchill. This is the value of historical training, scholarship, judgement and expertise - and it's seen daily from historians working in higher education. @richardtoye.bsky.social #Skystorians
"No Winston Churchill". Hmm. The hosts of 'Churchill: The Finest Half Hour" give their reactions:

There is just something deeply disturbing and offensive about watching a Labour govt keep kicking the most vulnerable in our society.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
"The historical record reveals a more complicated figure: a strategist who believed in strength, certainly, but also in diplomacy, alliances and the careful management of great-power rivalries" - @richardtoye.bsky.social on #Trump and #Churchill

When Donald Trump criticised Keir Starmer for failing to sufficiently support American and Israeli operations against Iran, he did so with a historical flourish. “This is not Winston Churchill that we’re dealing with,” he complained.

Are there no ends to his 'talents'? Biggar does International Law, innit.
