The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

As with the decision to go to war with Iran - bullshit bluster overrules sound advice.

So, the world economy crashes and World War III starts because a dim-witted narcissist wants a distraction from his pedophilia and insists his bullshit outweighs military counsel.

Well, it is in the DOJ records that Epstein was advising Russian officials how to handle Trump after his 2016 election. If he had kompromat, there were many routes for sharing it

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.

They are now refusing to state the number of American casualties in the Iran war. When regimes do this, it is a HUGE RED FLAG.

Britain’s economy is flatlining - but we have the defibrillator. It’s time to use it. "The politics and the economics are pointing in the same direction. This doesn’t always happen so when it does, you move."

Closer alignment with the EU is good for us and our neighbours, popular with our electorate, consistent with commitments already made and deliverable without new legislation or fresh negotiation.
The framework exists, the only thing missing is pace.

Imagine what the right-wing media would say if ordinary working people asked to be exempted from taxes because the Iran war has driven up their fuel and energy costs.

US embassy in Baghdad hit by strike as Trump says military targets 'obliterated' on Iran's key oil island - follow live Around 90% of Iran’s oil exports pass through Kharg Island, but the US president says oil infrastructure there was not targeted.

Trump’s bragged about how he’s wiped out all Iran’s military capabilities

So must be someone else who blew up their Embassy, and is keeping The Straits of Hormuz closed.. maybe the pixies because it can’t be Iran .. Trump said so πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™„

Trump is β€˜wrong’: Europeans slam US decision to ease Russia oil sanctions β€œWe want to ensure that Russia does not exploit the war in Iran to weaken Ukraine,” the German chancellor said.

As you pay more for your bills, watch the Middle East spiral into deathly chaos and see Ukraine literally sold out for Russian oil never forget that Keir Starmer shamed Britain by giving Trump the free publicity of an unprecedented 2nd State Visit
