Ukrainian suicide drones struck the KuibyshevAzot chemical plant in Tolyatti in the Samara region of Russia early this morning (03/11), setting it on fire.

The key production unit Workshop No. 11 has been destroyed.

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Telling how confident Starmer now feels in owning his Iran decision. His best outing against Badenoch at PMQs in months. KB not alone in shifting her position. Many of those in the press and politics demanding war and condemning Starmer loudest have been far quieter since the inevitable chaos began.

BREAKING: “After 9 days of saying join the war join the war join the war yesterday she’s says I never said we should join the war”

Prime minister Keir Starmer accuses Kemi Badenoch of “the mother of all u-turns”

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Achieving UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, says CCC:

The primary purpose of generative AI is to transfer money from working people to billionaires and corporations by removing them from the workforce. I don’t understand why so many people are unable to grasp this.

Europe’s plan to keep Ukraine afloat — even if Hungary keeps blocking €90B loan Kyiv was expected to run out of money at the end of this month, but an IMF lifeline and help from the Nordics and Baltics are set to keep it solvent.

EXCLUSIVE: Ukraine will get money from EU countries to fund its war effort even if Hungary and Slovakia continue to block a promised €90 billion loan, two EU diplomats have told POLITICO.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

The USF of Ukraine destroyed a Buk-M1 in Zaporizhzhia region on the night of March 10, 2026

Other targets shown in the footage were struck the same night by pilots of the the same unit using FP-2 drones equipped with 60–100 kg warheads.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

Graphic with the text “EU remembrance day for victims of terrorism” above a blue awareness ribbon decorated with small flowers, and the Council of the European Union logo in the corner.

🕯️ 11 March – EU remembrance day for victims of terrorism.

Remembering the victims.
Standing with those affected.

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 cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Clowns should be at the Circus ...

Not pretending to be leading nations or running a War.

A lack of geographical knowledge seems to be hampering the reporting of this conflict in many ways.

Knowing how big Iran is, where precisely Cyprus is (hint - it is not where Sicily is!) and the difference between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf would be helpful. /1

🔥Fire signature recorded in the vicinity of Mariupol, not far from the airport, where the ammunition warehouse was hit.

Before the Russians arrived, there was a farm there.

Russia didn’t just wage war in Ukraine.

It tried to bring explosives into Europe’s logistics networks.

Parcels packed with incendiary devices moved through courier hubs in the UK and EU.

Investigators say the trail leads to Russian intelligence.

When we sent out leaflets for the local council elections promising to “cut your taxes”, we obviously didn’t mean council tax! Why would we mention the only tax relevant to local elections in local election campaign material?

It is state sabotage.

"This is a disaster of epic proportions"

"If Trump did what the Constitution says and get authorisation from Congress, Congress would not have authorised this"

- Senator Chris Murphy

Operation Epic Failure

"To define Britain’s national interest as loyalty to the White House administration is absurd when the US’s own national interest would most be served by regime change in Washington." Well quite

Cracking article, including on constitutional elements of Trump and Maga.

Contains wonderful line: “Regime change was the plan, but Trump finds it easier to change plans than regimes.”
