Trump: β€œWatch what happens to these deranged scumbags today” in reference to the Iranian regime. β€œThey’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, & now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

'Outrageous': Fiona Bruce interrupts Green MP FIVE TIMES over Nato policy FIONA Bruce interrupted a Green MP five times in less than two minutes on Question Time after asking to explain the party's policy on Nato.

"Sian Berry was not given room to speak for more than 11 seconds after being asked to clarify what the Greens' position was on the defensive alliance."

if Iran attacks, damages or sinks maybe 1% of the oil tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz,
no oil tankers will then be insurable.
tanker traffic will cease.
& the world economy will implode.

but there is a non-zero risk that Trump (who CANNOT STAND TO BE BEATEN EVER) will respond with nukes.

yes, surely this has been blindingly obvious for a long time. why have politicians been so slow and stupid about this?
Trump is not a normal President. he is not even a normal human being.
he is deeply and malignantly narcissistic.
he is desperate to escape jail.
and he has nuclear f*ing weapons.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

The US-Israeli strategy failed to defeat Iran quickly – now they are moving to plan B | Paul Rogers It’s called the Dahiya doctrine – and the IDF and US air force are using it to destroy domestic support in Iran, says emeritus professor of peace studies Paul Roger

"The Dahiya doctrine: if an insurgency cannot be ended or the leadership of a state cannot be subdued, the route to victory lies with the relentless punishing of the civilian population..it is almost certainly unworkable."

Detailed breakdown of how Westminster has powergrabbed devolved powers from Scotland.

Detailed breakdown of how Westminster has powergrabbed devolved powers from Scotland.

Here's the process history that I designed back in 2018. Frustrating that sooo many Scots didn't seem to notice what was going on and are still oblivious today. Mundell and 'Scottish' Tories' conduct was especially shameful #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

Keir Starmer: Leaked memo says ministers can go against Wales and Scotland The memo was obtained by Plaid Cymru, which has accused Labour of turning its back on devolution.

In the Senedd on Tuesday, Plaid's ap Iorwerth said the memo showed "Keir Starmer's own version of Boris Johnson's muscular unionism, not only dealing with devolution in bad faith, but undertaking a direct assault on the democratic views of devolved governments".

the phrase "the current lifetime of the universe" should presumably read "the lifetime of the universe up until now."

Vague and contradictory Trump says Iran war β€˜won’, but not β€˜won enough’ After oil prices surged on Monday the US president sought – and failed – to offer a clear vision for when the largest US intervention in the Middle East in years will end

β€œHe can’t articulate a plan or a vision because he has no plan or vision. He can’t even decide whether or not the country is at war. He’s risking the world economy and the lives of millions on whims and vibes.”

good to know that, according to Trump, the Iran war is now very completely not quite almost absolutely and totally within some time of being in the final stages of ending its beginning.
