Trump demands Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’ as bombs pound Tehran and Beirut US president again calls on Iranian people to overthrow government or face ‘absolutely guaranteed death’

Note how casually the illegal imperialist war on Iran widened to encompass Lebanon. Tehran (population 10 million) and Beirut (population 3 million) are being bombed into dust, just like Gaza (population now unknown). 🇮🇷🇱🇧🇵🇸

Alas, I fear it will provide an entertaining after-banquet story, an amused, knowing notoriety marked by wry smiles and a wink. The earnings will be unaffected.

It's not even each day; Starmer plumbs new depths on an hourly basis. He is as odious and creepy as Donald Trump.

Tory peer to leave House of Lords after investigation finds he breached standards over Covid PPE deals Lord Chadlington introduced government to supplier in which he had financial interest in 2020

Why is corruption called 'breached standards' when you're already rich and powerful. As a member of the House of Lords, shouldn't you be held to account and jailed rather than being allowed to simply leave? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London Exclusive: Senior party figures share data suggesting Green surge could put Labour in fourth place in capital in May

Losing their job refocuses Labour fascists. Here, a 'Labour source' derides Starmer's cabinet as 'strategic geniuses who ridicule Labour values and think we can afford to sacrifice our core vote by mimicking the performative cruelty of Suella Braverman.'

No, he's still there.

Yes they were!

Starmer is facing a cocktail of dissent that is growing ever more potent After the Greens’ byelection win, PM’s failure to make a progressive offer has angered Labour’s soft-left majority

Far from learning any lessons from the Gorton and Denton evisceration, Starmer's 'changed' Labour Party has announced plans to remove refugee status, while the fascist-in-chief has doubled down on his nonsense by again calling the Greens 'extremists.'
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Starmer doubled down on this utter nonsense this week when he sent a letter to Labour MPs repeating his attack line that Zack Polanski’s Green Party is 'extremist.'

A lone battle: Why is Pedro Sánchez the only European leader to take on Trump? As the Spanish PM decries the war in Iran, other politicians are unable – or unwilling – to speak against the US president

Because he's the only one not taking bribes; the only one not subject to Kompromat.

Best way forward for Iran would be negotiated settlement, says Starmer PM defends decision not to join initial US-Israeli strikes and says UK is doing ‘everything we can’ to de-escalate situation

White House argues that Trump had a “feeling” about an imminent Iranian threat Before launching a war, a normal president might consult with qualified advisers. The incumbent American president, however, appears to prefer his gut.

For most of us, it's really obvious when Donald Trump is making shit up: if he's talking, he's making shit up... But some people are actually analysing him in a bid to work it out.

Kristi Noem ousted from Homeland Security post amid recent turmoil Kristi Noem fired from Trump's DHS after controversial hearings. Sen. Markwayne Mullin reportedly considered as replacement for homeland security chief.

'Recent turmoil' refers to killing US citizens by shooting them in the face. "Noem comment...," Noem almost certainly said. 😉

Absolute rubbish from The Guardian. Gaddafi, a hero to Libyans, was slandered and assassinated by the west, and deliberately replaced by this CIA plant to steal (nationalised) oil revenue and to destroy Islamic Socialism, which was succeeding.

A proper statesman refusing to bow to the evil dictator. Threatening to cut off trade if you don't go to war is straight out of a dystopic novel, the actions of a rogue state. It's more evidence of why global capitalism is morally bankrupt.

Someone needs to tell Starmer who is a lawyer that if you make your military bases to an ally waging an offensive war you make Britain a co-belligerent in an offensive war

You then become a legitimate target
