Jake Tapper having an Israeli who has been repeatedly proven to be a paid-for propagandist on to explain the Iranian perspective and then having a raving lunatic on to rant about Mamdani's wife in back to back programs is really quite something. CNN has a perennial racist on its prime time.
(Guardian) β Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Seems to me like itβs the Iranian theocracy that has been behaving in a rational, or at least comprehensible manner for years, and its the US and Israel who have been behaving like deranged, messianic madmen who cannot be deterred. This is quite rational, to them.
Keir Starmer and his party is just another fascist party and his cultists are as bad as the Reform ones

Adam Langleben @adamlangleben X.com After every election in which the left have been in control they develop a stab in the back theory in order to justify their own failure. In 1983 it was Kinnock betraying Tony Benn. Sadly this time, the narrative the left have chosen is that Jews stopped victory. Thats this book. + Adam Langleben @adamlangleben β’ 3h There is alot in this interview with @ZackPolanski. What is infuriating is his denialism of antisemitism in my party and leaning into crank conspiracy. Let's have a little look back in time:... 12:32 β’ 10/03/2026 β’ 1.4K
I donβt think you can keep doing this after the culprits - Labour right MPs and party PRs, mainly - spent a year bragging loudly at respected journalists about all the awesome wrecking they did, and how cunning and effective it was. And those journos then wrote prominent books about what they said.
Iranian schoolgirls spontaneously explode, Palestinian babies suffocate after their own NICU units decided to just stop, Lebanese buildings kinda implode of their own accord, and two Pennsylvania teenagers had their lives changed after not having a normal day enjoying NYC in abnormally warm weather.
We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.
Polanski basically seems to have a grasp on politics/policy which is very similar to the average left-ish normie, which is good for becoming popular but has no follow through for governance. * James Austin @jamesdaustin.b... β’ 1h Interesting interview but l am, ah, skeptical that the solution to Nimbyism is... better leadership and taking people on a journey. Nimbyism is normally about a clash of incentives/interests and you cant just magic that claah away with better leadership/narrative/process. When local residents protest the new infrastructure needed to reach net-zero targets, who wins - democracy or the environment? "I think you can have both," he says. "You have to show leadership. Far too often, consultation actually means notification." His description of this ideal might sound like notification with more communication. "What's really powerful is when a politician turns up in the community and says: This is what we need to get done. This is why I'm taking you on that journey. Let's work out how we can do it together." But he insists this approach co build trust.
Can you imagine if Britain were ever to elect people who talked a good game but didnβt know what they were doing, or were really just selling the same shit wearing a different hat

Nothing says "we support women's rights" like a bunch of beardy cunts forming a mob in order to harass a woman *about women's rights*.

The absolutely disgusting rot at the heart of British media summed up in a single headline. A wretched clique of pathetic, racist, servile dogs.
Privatisation, a lack of investment and a combination of zero real energy security strategy has left us like this.
What does Keir Starmer do? Sides with the cunts causing this war instead of a clear no.

Well, on the bright side they made all these investments in renewable energy before cocking up the global conventional energy supp- why does my producer never stop handing me notes

#bbclaurak interviewed the Israeli president & the Iranian ambassador
She repeatedly challenged the ambassador. Do you think she did the same with the Israeli president e.g. maybe mention a UN commission of inquiry found he incited the commission of genocide. What do you think?
The logical endpoint of western capitalism is mass death and genocide.
We've been hearing about the savagery of the lesser races means we need to take control of their resources for their own good for *centuries*. It is what it is, but it's wild to see so many ostensible liberals continue to eat it up with a spoon like they have no idea how propaganda works.
On International Womenβs Day a reminder that my Alice had a mother and a sister and grannies, aunts, girl friends and girl cousins.
They all loved her as a woman.
When the transphobes say they speak for all women and are protecting women and girls, they are wrong.
When I think about the long-term consequences of the Iraq War and the people it affected most deeply, I too think of the poor, traumatised Labour Party

Incredible to listen to 3 people paid really good money to have political opinions, all delivering absolute nonsense based on the fundamental failure to grasp that #Labour are no longer a party of the left. Which is why the left don't vote for them.
I would ask: why is ITVβs head politics guy interviewing the second most compromised New Labour man - a three time Prime Minister - on a weekday, off camera and under commonly understood conditions of secrecy, in front of an audience of rabid Israel wingnuts who are just fine with genocide?
