A Truth Social post by the orange felon which says:

Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman's Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed.
Don't do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM.
The U.S. will take them if you won't. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just three weeks ago, the Trump administration was sending deportation flights to Iran; sending people back there from the US.

Now he wants to be the asylum saviour for Iranians.

There is no human life he won’t exploit for his political or personal benefit.

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.

Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.

Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.

This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

Any fighting force is only as "good" as the orders being given. If troops are engaged in an unlawful attack and pointlessly killing defenseless civilians, with no clear objective or ROE, they're nothing but craven bloodthirsty mercenaries.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β€” and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

John Swinney: 'I won't rest until child poverty is eradicated in Scotland' In his Daily Record column, First Minister John Swinney says he will today unveil further steps to tackle child poverty.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.

But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.

I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

Forbes trying to claim that its important to them to track how women are treated in Afghanistan but never criticise the horrendous murder of women and girls by US/Israel in Gaza and now Iran.

Glaring hypocrisy from mainstream media... always.

This is the problem, the media has failed and won't tell the truth about the groups who are trying to eradicate trans people

The Labour government labelled far more benign behaviour as terrorism - when it suited their political objectives. That they are silent now is also a political objective

New Human Rights Watch report finds that the US Israel massacre of an elementary school in southern Iran has to be investigated as a war crime. The US and Israel had sufficient information and intel to know whether it was a school or not.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

This woman has been in America for over 5 decades.

She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer.

The regime wants to deport her to Iran.

A country they’re intent on destroying.

They want to send her to her death.

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them.

That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

Urgh, waking up news the Ian Paisley Jnr is setting up a Turning Point in NI and Erika Kirk is coming over for it.

Another woman was murdered by a man this weekend. I doubt they'll have anything to say about that.

A wise administration wouldn’t start another war in the Middle East.

A competent administration wouldn’t bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.

They are neither.

Nazir Afzal: β€˜Class Discrimination Isn’t a Complex Mystery – It’s a Structural Issue Quietly Enforced, Politely Denied, Endlessly Deferred’  – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition The Chancellor of Manchester University has co-authored a new report, β€˜Class Ceiling’, examining working-class participation in the creative industries across Greater Manchester. He spoke to Hardeep Matharu and Peter Jukes about how opportunities for people from poorer backgrounds has declined since the 1960s, and why his work prosecuting the grooming gangs perpetrators as the former Chief Crown Prosecutor for the North West informed his insights on class

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.

On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

David Lammy announces a new plan that will "clamp down on extremist influence in institutions, such as charities & universities"

From an authoritarian govt thats attacking our basic civil rights this is clearly just another vehicle to target critics of the state.

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.
