By sticking to the correct and popular position on Iran, even under relentless attacks from the right-wing press, Keir Starmer has forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal.
It is a lesson his Government should learn from bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/n...
Nigel Farage accused of U-turn after he said Britain should not get involved in Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
He previously said the “gloves need to come off” when dealing with Iran and “we should do all we can to support the operation.” @benquinn75.bsky.social

I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only “TRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump refers to Prime Minster Mark Carney as "the future Governor of Canada"
Today, The Business and Trade Committee questioned Trade Minister Chris Bryant MP on whether Britain can afford to continue 'straddling the Channel and the Atlantic'. The answer is clear, we have the largest trading bloc in the world on our doorstep: it's time to rejoin the single market.
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 finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

The British public learned something from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Apparently some politicians didn’t.
While Farage and Badenoch push escalation with Iran, most Britons are saying something very simple:
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
This is violent, sickening rhetoric.
GB News commentator claiming here that non “indigenous” people are committing “genocide” against the UK.
GB News is beyond the fucking pale
We are facing an energy crisis. Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored. If only we had our own gas to exploit. Or our own oil. Or our own coal.... Blame @Ed Miliband (Allison Pearson on X)
If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.
Definitely, I forgot them. D’oh!
Very true, forgot that one!
This whole war, the inflation that’s about to unravel, all the deaths, all the chaos all the de-stabilisation is because his life was threatened.
They caught the guy, stopped the plot. For most people that would have been the end of it but this guy has to start a war. Such a despicable man.
When you look at the whole of planet earth over the last few years there are two countries that stand out as menacing: Russia and the US.
What….he wants us to appreciate him trying to get something open which his ill thought through action closed? Fuck off
🇪🇺President von der Leyen's landmark speech acknowledged that international law is effectively dead.
But it did not acknowledge Europe's role in killing it. Nor did it grasp the implications.
The EU can no longer invoke it - not in Ukraine or anywhere else. Why did Europe give up on it so easily?
A reminder that if you back regime change (morally) you ought to accept the likely consequences. www.youtube.com/shorts/Uuber...
Yea yea…but what about the price of eggs?

Is there anything worse than sucking up to Trump, making us look absolutely desperate and pathetic, only to have him throw it back in our faces anyway? It is excruciating and degrading.
Please God lets be a bit more Spanish
It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called ‘patriots’ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love
No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.
Latest substack from me.

Governing to these people is just one long “who’s got the biggest dick” contest. Absolutely pathetic.
Those proud bastions of free speech Reform UK banned @willhaycardiff.bsky.social from their manifesto launch because they are scared of the scrutiny he would provide. Imagine what these cowards will do in power.
Like the ones your goons shot dead?
