Excellent piece by Peter Oborne about the war and journalism generally. Worth watching if only for the montage of clips of Netanyahu trying to convince the world that Iran is a threat.

"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.
A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.
Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high.
Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
this is a masterclass response to Mahmood's latest hate mongering from Zack.

Thank you voters of Gorton & Denton! Thank you for rejecting the politics of hate. Thank you for refusing to accept the mediocrity of Labour. Today, you made me smile!
Professional racism enthusiast Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who likes to be called Tommy Robinson, but instead gets called Tommy Ten Names, is standing on a beach wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans rolled up above his knees. There is an inflatable beachball under his right arm that is too big for the little man to hold on to. The caption underneath says "Fighting-age man flees country of origin, seeks refuge" ---News Thump--- Stephen Yaxley-Lennon fled the UK to avoid a court case.

Billionaires don't like it when you make fun of fascism, apparently.
Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting.
Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out.
If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.
In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU
Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?
I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
The only shame is Labour's. A nation voted for change in '24 only to be told we were getting more of the same. The people of Gorton & Denton know who to trust this time. It isn't Labour, it isn't #traitorfarage - it is Hannah Spencer.
UK residents who care about fair voting and PR - please write to your MP!

I think we need to get #nigelmirage trending....
Im very proud of our Labour Government. Just remember this is the minimum not mandatory wage. Employers can and should pay better skilled more experienced workers more. Happy workers boost profits. Fact.
A Nigel Farage Tweet claiming he was denied entry to the Chagos Islands by the UK government, and underneath a community note pointing out it's not a tourist destination, access is restricted, and you need a permit before you travel.
Watching the frog-faced moron herder getting fact-checked is the only redeeming feature of the hell site these days...
The video from Nigel Farage gives the impression that he was individually refused access.
Farage is in the Maldives.
200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a
tourist destination.
Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands.
How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?
