It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

I’m livid with the mainstream press and their support of the US-Israel war -
It’s unrepresentative of UK citizens. It only represents the rich gung-ho Epstein class.
I’m more determined than ever to build the citizen journalism alternative.

Gas price shocks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed the danger of relying on fossil fuels tied to volatile global markets.
Renewables offer something fossil fuels never can: stable energy where the price never changes.

Headline from the New York Post “Trump tells The Post there's no reason to panic over Iran war oil-price surge: 'I have a plan for everything' “
Calm down. He’s going to unroll Operation Baldrick.
BREAKING: Pope declares Trump’s war prayer circus “Immoral” and warns MAGA that war is not holy.
Pope Leo XIV said, after evangelical leaders gathered in the Oval Office to lay hands on Donald Trump and bless his war with Iran, “War is not holy; only peace is holy, because it is willed by God."
Yesterday, the German state of Baden-Württemberg elected a new state government & prime minister. BW is the 3rd largest state, its capital is Stuttgart, & its strength the automobile industry.
Winner & new PM: Cem Özdemir, a Green politician & son of Turkish immigrants. A portrait:
The “she” is Isabel Okeshott .
The Special Relationship, like the journalistic credibility of Chris Mason, is something that doesn't exist.

The best time to fill up your car was 30 years ago. The second best time is now.
In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Would this be the same Iran conflict Kemi Badenoch has just spent an entire week calling Keir Starmer a coward for not wanting to join?
Tony Blair’s presumably unintentional illustration of his own epic vanity & the weapons grade hypocrisy of the Mail etc…

The 1980s North Sea oil windfall went on tax cuts and unemployment benefit instead of being invested by a sovereign wealth fund – a fact Reform et al never mention.
🇺🇸🇬🇧 The United States has started using British bases for certain operations against Iran during the Middle East war 👇
So predictable. While Trump and Hegseth posture, millions around world have their lives turned upside down by their cavalier, ill-thought-through attack on Iran, whose regime clings on, and people suffer. Everyone suffers from the devastating consequences, except the immoral morons who launched it.
"Over the weekend an Iranian desalination plant was bombed by the US and Israel"
A desalination plant produces fresh water.
Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.
Iran's ability to close the straits of Hormuz has been an ever-present threat since 1979, yet "one week into President Trump’s war on Iran, the most severe shock to energy markets since the 1970s is cascading through the world economy." From WSJ

Tony Blair has criticised the British government for not joining in the war in the Middle East, in the surest sign yet Keir Starmer might be doing the right thing

So "Patriotic" so much a "man of the people" that he can barely be arsed doing the job as an MP that taxpayers give him £92k a year plus expenses for (and he was just the same as an MEP)

They aren’t unexpected. They’re the most obvious things you cover in the first 10 minutes of your Iran wargame. This is what makes it worse.
I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
