Why Vladimir Putin may be the big winner in Trump's Iran war Russia “gains new resources to finance its war against Ukraine as energy prices rise,” European Council President António Costa said. “It profits from the diversion of military capabilities.”

The biggest winner from the Iran war is Vladimir Putin, with Israel coming in at a close second. The American taxpayer will be left with the bill and austerity in the years to come. www.nbcnews.com/world/ukrain...

As the number of donnie Shits-his-pants trouble spots, like Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, Cuba, Russia, increases, our anger and energy lose focus. We can't forget Ukraine, Palestine, Epstein, ICE, Good, Pretti, Epstein, and of course Epstein.

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

They'll be touring it for a while I suspect/hope, these are first dates. Their last show - Enter the Dragons - was hilarious and deeply cathartic... 😂

Summary:

The electorate is restless.
Labour is rudderless.
Greens are hope.
Tories are hopeless.
And Reform’s silent majority has once again turned out to be a noisy minority.

My research indicates that in a increasingly politically polarised online and real-life environments, urban food growing projects have the potential to bridge divides. They can help integrate newcomers to the neighbourhood, providing opportunities for volunteers to talk across spheres of life. 👇

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paed...

NEW: This is a terrific deep dive into Epstein & Russia by @professorshaw.bsky.social for @thenerve.news which starts with ‘Yachtgate’, Mandelson’s 2008 scandal involving Nat Rothschild, George Osborne & Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

One of the reasons it is so important that the Democrats gain control of at least one part of Congress is to be able to investigate the corruption that permeates the US government today.

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

The first meeting of Donald Trump's “Board of Peace” showcased the dystopian future the U.S. envisions for Palestinians. But even those plans might soon be eclipsed by Israel's renewed full-scale genocide in Gaza.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

🚨BREAKING: A national security official says Donald Trump is in a catch-22 where Iranians are threatening to release videos of him sexually assaulting children if he bombs them, and Israel is threatening the same if he doesn't!

My god! Lock that fucker up!
Leak the videos. The End.

Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.

WAKE THE F*CK UP AMERICA.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
