Experts say Iranโ€™s ruling system is built to survive crises and resist outside pressure, and there is currently little sign of a mass uprising inside the country.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท A classified U.S. intelligence report says even a large U.S. military assault on Iran would likely not topple the Iranian regime, - WP

Iranโ€™s fragmented opposition is unlikely to take control, meaning U.S. plans to remove the regime and install a new leader would face major obstacles.

So Nigel Farage who the right wing media tout as the next British PM, is meeting Donald Trump today at his holiday club to undermine and work against the present elected British Prime Minister?

Donald Trump is the POTUS of a hostile nation. Trump wants to hurt this country.

This is who Farage is.

Here's Gove, stood next to the notoriously short arsed Johnson. As we can see by the conveniently placed shelf behind them, there's little in it.

Fatty is listed as being 5' 9", which I personally think is a lie, so unless Fatty is on a box here, Gove is 5' 10" at best.

So, slimy little twat to me

This from the Daily Mail is quite something

The one tabloid that has done more damage to cultural cohesion, attacked diversity, migration, Islam, than any other, yet here they are praising the diversity of Dubai

Itโ€™s the psychology that makes a difference ๐Ÿ™„

Conduct Committee publishes report on the conduct of Lord Chadlington - Committees - UK Parliament The House of Lords Conduct Committee has today published a report on the conduct of Lord Chadlington, recommending he be suspended from the House for 12 months.

Shocking findings from the COVID PPE fast lane - this time Tory peer, Lord Chadlington.

โŒ 3 breaches of Lords rules:

1. providing parliamentary services in return for payment or reward

2. failing to co-operate with previous investigations

3. failure to โ€œact on his personal honourโ€

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Average real wage of UK workers barely moved since 2008.

Some bosses collect 1,110 times the average worker pay.

50 families have more wealth than bottom 50% of the population combined.

Super-rich buy political parties and lawmakers to advance their interests.

Did you vote for the above?

Donald Trumpโ€™s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOPโ€™s traditional strength on all three.

Trump might end the war on a claim of victory, dial back paramilitary violence against Americans, and enjoy some kind of economic resurgence. Yet right now, George W. Bushโ€™s fate is beckoning. trib.al/WvMvquy

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

Donald J. Trump C @realDonaldTrump
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Allowing US aircraft to use UK airbases is not my idea of keeping ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง out of this ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ war! Itโ€™s one thing to make the airbase in Cyprus available as that can be seen as defensive. But the UK bases?!!
We have zero control over what missions theyโ€™re doing. Hardly a defensive response is it!!๐Ÿ˜ก

And the UK needs to rein in its out-of-control media. We don't have a free press, we have an above-the-law press. Our public policy is being dictated by Fleet Street. This, in and of itself, would represent too great a danger to other members to allow the UK to join before it's fixed.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

I mean, so does everyone else - and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone right now who's dismissing Gorton and Denton as an unrepresentative one-off.
