Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧡

We'd be having a party and ignoring what was happening on the pitch by now. Barca 4-0 match springs to mind. Had a great night out afterwards.

There was no objective to US action, thus can it also be declared complete whenever Trump gets bored or worried about the stock market.

And the mess all these random actions create will just keep piling up for the next administration.

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

During the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill, MP after MP got up to point out what's missing from it: fixing the voting system.

The problems with FPTP can no longer be ignored - and neither can the growing calls for PR. πŸ“£

Here are just a few highlights:

If you think I'm overstating concerns about the loyalties of US tech companies - check out this memo from Anthropic CEO to staff on their battle with the Trump administration.

Bigger. Problem. Than. Anticipated.

The first verified Shahed Drone attack on Ukraine was 1,270 days ago.

Ukrainian numbers put the number of Shahed strike UAVs launched at them last year alone at over 32,000.

Your brain, is it... not good? Do you have the bad brain? Sir? Sir?

Still 3 points clear.
Wolves & Burnley to come at home.
Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Delighted for him that he's hit a rich vein of form. Just not liking column 5 here. One bad weekend away from being 17th and just one point clear of the drop zone.

Just maybe it might have been smarter to do this *before* bombing the crap out of the country?

No?

Just me then...

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Don't want to overreact but if West Ham win tomorrow then that's 3 months hard work down the pan and we're right back in the scrap.
