Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?
A lot of people on Bluesky sneering at this. But Russia has no interest in helping Iran, apart from the fact they're a key regional ally, they sell them Shahed drones, and that a prolonged war and with it rising energy costs help the Russian economy.
A big part of the story of politics in the UK over the last two years is that the entire political right reacted to comprehensive defeat by immediately throwing an endless tantrum
its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith
I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

is this also why a man several years younger than me is trying to look like Prince Charming from Shrek
a further reminder that Trump's acolytes are literally the most pathetic human beings in the world, though.
headlines (and pictures, and, if we're honest, global situations) that suggest that an evil goblin has been released and disastrously empowered by an ill-chosen wish
it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on
Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity
yeah I totally misread where it was going to go for this reason
A BBC headline reading 'Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader?'
that's right, yes
I mean it's also not clear how this toothpaste gets put back in the tube even then
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
