Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

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.

Just like the Nazi, Reform UK want to create chaos
justifying replacing rule of law with Might is Right
when their armed vigilante thugs can roam the streets
targeting everyone they hate - workers, women, black, disabled, migrants ...

This is so accurate. The military spending is siphoning money from other areas like healthcare and education.

In the name of justice, they spread corruption.
In the name of humanity, these tyrants commit oppression.
They shout the loudest about human rights, yet in the name of humanity, they betray and disgrace mankind

Funny how Reform Ltd leaders
happily talk about anything
except their racist, misogynist,
anti-worker, anti-disabled,
NHS-dismantling,
weather disaster making,
billionaire enriching,
economically infantile policies
(or last year's statements
which contradict today's)

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMissionπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
