Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group, "This is Trump's war"
"Trump decided to go to war"
"How to do go war"
"How expansive it would be"
"And also not to co-ordinate with NATO allies"
"Trump co-ordinated with Israel. Not with Canada, or the Europeans"
Yesterday someone reminded me of Laurence Fox so I shared the song I made about Laurence Fox. Today I've been reminded of Darren Grimes, so here's the song I made about Darren Grimes...
Every bomb dropped on an oil facility is a time bomb for the planet. It accelerates global warming. It destroys biodiversity. It poisons the air for humans who had nothing to do with the conflict. To the perpetrators:You are disgraceful.There is no 'winning when the planet loses
Trump started this war at the behest of Netanyahu and it benefits Putin.
He serves 2 masters and neither are on this continent.

The privatised water industry wants you to forget everything you learned about their Dirty Business
They want to carry on
- releasing sewage in your rivers and seas
- ripping you off as they have been since 1989
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW, starting with Thames Water
Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.
And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.
No doubt the Free Speech loving Isabel Oakeshott will be all over this and down the nick in Dubai protesting against it...

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

We've been presented with a world of madness...run a/c to the shifting demands of an utterly banal & vicious old man, who thinks nothing of human lives or of elementary decency, pursuing only his own advantage, as perceived thro' the shattered mirror of his mind.
Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say
‘Medical records showed the detainee was taken to hospital in the summer of 2024 with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to Israeli media reports on the indictment.’
Oh, this is sublime..
What a spectacle of incoherence.
Reform’s Welsh leader promises not to go down the NHS/insurance route…while Farage keeps that option open for the rest of us. Probably because he’s already committed to selling us out.
Corruption and betrayal nailed on with this lot.

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
First Past the Post is kind of exhausting, honestly 😣
Let's keep it simple. Let's make it proportional.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Measles like HIV is a rare immune system damaging virus.
Not only does catching Measles make you more likely to catch Measles again, it also reduces your protection against every other disease.
Including diseases you 'used' to be immune to.
This dangerous drunk is an absolute psychopath.
A new video released by Iranian state media shows what appears to be a U.S. cruise missile striking a compound where around 175 Iranian students and staff were killed at a girls school. Trump accused Iran of being responsible for the school bombing...

MPs to investigate student loan system.
Student loan debt in England is £267bn, expected to hit £500bn by 2040.
Govt transferred public debt to households, real rates of interest, low repayment threshold, lives blighted.
No Uni tuition fees in most of Europe or Scotland.
