Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Donald Trump’s approval rating Follow our presidential approval rating poll tracker to see how favourably Americans view Mr Trump

Early in Trump’s term I thought it likely that his Orban-style takeover of the media would be pretty successful and that there was only a possibility of a thermostatic reaction by voters. Boy was I wrong! He’s at -19% approval, -5% in *Mississippi*.

It’s time to end Britain’s first-past-the-post election lottery The Gorton and Denton by-election confirmed just how capricious our electoral system has become

💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @financialtimes.com:

"An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented.

First Past the Post achieves neither."

For GB News’s funders, £130 million is a small price to pay for vast influence The channel of “reactionary rage bait” has just released its latest accounts, which are yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, argues Sam Bright

this was the plan all along, with India as the stooge . . . .

How the right-wing British press became Trump’s trumpet Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Donald Trump says and does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring, writes Alan Rusbridger

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”

And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

They hold them accountable.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Iran war is latest threat to a global economy rattled by Trump Rising energy prices threaten to stoke inflation and hobble economic growth in countries around the world.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”

We bombed a girls’ school and killed 175 kids based on his feelings?!

Is the Brexit tide turning? East Anglia prepares It’s been 10 long years, but the signs are growing that you can’t keep a good idea down for ever

Hope is rising across East Anglia. Campaigners from Herts to Norfolk are back on the streets with Brexitometers, marches and a renewed push to move Britain closer to the EU...and it's happening across the country.

The 10-year anniversary could be a turning point.

So if it is not a war what is it? A very expensive joust?

Barack Obama on the late Rev. Jesse Jackson: "He was talking about everyone who was left out. Everyone who was forgotten. Everyone who was unseen. Everyone who was unheard. And in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
