Blair‘s lack of self-awareness is stunning. He never appears to realise that his actions over Iraq mean that any cause he lends his name to is instantly damaged.
Starmer must be very happy that standing up to America has earnt him an attack by Blair, America’s poodle.
Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?
Do not forget this when you vote in May.
DUBAI right now. Unbowed! We love it. We push on (Isabel Oakeshott)
Reports of another drone in Middle East.
This one was spotted filming the beach with her phone.
I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.
Okay, enough. Look, the centre-right are going to be the centre-right, that's completely unsurprising to me. I don't expect the Economist to like Polanski.
But this shit is just dangerous. It is asserting that what is at the end of the day a democratic party is akin to literal neofascists.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
white supremacy.
That horrible time is upon us now, when we Icelanders are forced to watch spring starting to arrive in other countries but we still have about 3 months left of winter.
Soldiers killed in Iran.
Black background with words, “Losers and Suckers” Donald Trump #Vote in blue
On Sept 10th, 2025, the flag was lowered 5 hrs after Charlie Kirk was shot.
But for our military who gave the ultimate price in Iran for a pedophile and Felon squatting in our WH? NOTHING!
Remember, Trump said they were losers just a few years ago.

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
For someone so 'woke', why do I feel so tired 😂
Because Die Welt is not enough (HT Nick Mathiason)
Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
🤣
I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.
Iran is fighting a war.
America thinks it is playing a video game.
What could possibly go wrong?
The kids are alright.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Pete Hegseth is the guy who coaches the under 11s football team, who makes his son striker and captain, bollocks the other kids for not getting properly stuck in, and claims he once had a trial for Chelsea.
You want to defend Labour, okay, but at least don't be such a hypocrite to complain about Reform's or Conservative's discriminatory and racist policies while doing so. These are populist, not popular, policies aimed at cruelty over anything else.
Russia is sending election operatives to Hungary to prop up Orban. The dirty tricks to support Putin’s puppet in the EU will be off the chart.
On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...
Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.
You just knew which side the Right would come down on.
What turns a kind and compassionate young MP into a cruel, cold-hearted [what's the word I'm looking for here?] monster, a champion of #TheRichAndPowerful in their punching down of the most #vulnerable?!
Just when did Shabana Mahmood sell her soul? How much did she get for it?
They have mad Mullahs. We have mad Christian evangelicals.
Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform £100k Oliver Wright Extracts Britain's second-richest family have begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives. A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated £100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories. Reform has also received £3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor. In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than £5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given £2.4 million and Labour received £1.9 million. The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London — have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth £85,000. Their family wealth was put at £26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year. Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments. Other Reform donors include David John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party £250,000. Reform also received £100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism. For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave £200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".
More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCB’s chairman, Bamford, said he was “supportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."
Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

It's proper dystopian stuff going down in UAE.
