Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
Iran has a population of 90 million. All those calling for the UK to do more in attacking Iran, how many refugees facing persecution (thousands already) will they accept?
I rarely agree with US foreign policy but these attacks on Iran could only be perpetrated by sick, twisted monsters. It's too much. I hope the world sees this horror and punishes those responsible.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
How did Hugo Rifkind educated at a £50k per year private school and son of a former Tory cabinet minister get to write for the Times with such drivel? Guess we’ll never know. Add him to “can be replaced by AI”

Our Armed Forces must always protect British citizens wherever they are in the world.
But tax exiles and influencers who make a living criticising the UK should contribute to the country they still expect to protect them.
Labour, it's time to cut the corporate jargon and it’s time we realised that “writing letters” isn’t working.
We need water nationalisation. We need it now.

No one is defending the Iranian regime & its brutalisation of its own people.That doesn’t make it any less true that this war was started by a man desperately distracting from the Epstein files and a man who is wanted for war crimes.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war
Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?
Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.
The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?
So how many minutes was it between Starmer saying use UK bases and one of them being hit in a drone strike?
UK allows US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites.
UK getting sucked into illegal US war.
No UN mandate for regime change. The powerful running amok.
What if Russia copies the US and murders Ukrainian president?
There will be turmoil for generations. And Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize.
BREAKING: Ed Davey responds to the ongoing situation in the Middle East
'We're not going to take it any longer': Trump confirms US strikes on Iran Donald Trump has confirmed that the US has launched "major combat operations" against Iran in an eight-minute video on Truth Social. He said Tehran's "menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world". "For 47 years," Trump adds, "the Iranian regime has chanted 'Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed." He references the US embassy crisis from 1979 and 1981, where 66 hostages were held for 444 days. "It's been mass terror, and we're not going to take it any longer. We'll bring you more of his words as we get them.
Sooner or later Trump’s going to stop boasting about all the wars he's ended and start boasting about all the wars he's started instead.
Our government must condemn this in the same manner they'd condemn Russia.
I try not to get too conspiratorial in my thinking, but it is getting a bit coincidental how every time the Epstein scandal closes in on Trump, the US launches a major military operation in another country
It's not "sectarian" to oppose genocide.
Sky News don't seem as excited as the rest of us.

We drove out our core activists, presided over a factional war in which the largest, youngest, most progressive group was effectively purged, abandoned our principles to chase far right votes and enact authoritarian policies, and told people who don't like it to fuck off. What are we doing wrong?
Another hilarious panic.
This is a day for laughing, folks!
😂😂😂
I hope they investigate this as well.
