Except Iran won't back off because what reason do they have to help the orange blob save his nasty face?

(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.

<Grabs the mic> This ranch was managed by the same two people that managed the Sex Island and those were the only two properties that were under their supervision of all the places Epstein owned.

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

Grasping little nobodies, who think they have a god given right to literally lord it over us in perpetuity, because some ancestor bought a peerage or was the illegitimate child of a royal or won some battle in a long forgotten colonial war or lent money to some tosser who lived beyond their means.

Hereditary Peers Bill passes in House of Lords, paving the way for further reform The Hereditary Peers Bill has passed in the House of Lords in one of the biggest reforms to Parliament and UK democracy in a generation.

"The Government believes that no one should be able to vote on legislation solely on the basis of their inheritance, so reform of this outdated and undemocratic principle has been long overdue".

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Zelensky: Now our team – both military and Umerov – is on its way to the Gulf region, where our guys can help protect life and stabilize the situation.

It is necessary that those who are now turning to Ukraine for support – that they continue to help our defense, our air defense first of all.

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of β€œprecision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away β€”we should all see the deadly destruction

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

And now they’re telling us that he was talking at a private event and his comments weren’t intended to be published.

Is he really that stupid to think that anything he says is going to stay private?

Heating oil prices in the UK have trebled in a week. 2 million homes, no price cap protection, no warning.

Heat pumps + solar are multiple times more efficient, don’t require an oil tank and oil deliveries and are an insurance against such frightening price spikes.

Thousands of lawyers urge Keir Starmer to rethink plans to cut jury trials Government facing prospect of most serious backbench revolt yet over proposals for England and Wales Plans to curtail the number of jury trials in England and Wales have been described as β€œunpopular, untested and poorly evidenced” by thousands of lawyers who have written to the prime minister. The letter to Keir Starmer, a former director of public prosecutions, from 3,200 lawyers, including 300 senior barristers, comes as his government faces the prospect of one of its most serious backbench revolts since coming to power.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

The World's largest Wind Turbine 26MW.

In its lifetime it will produce the same energy as burning 750,000 tons of coal.

That's 44,118 truck loads.

And that's just 1 Wind Turbine.
