Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike The number of Pentagon employees who focus on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped from 200 people to less than 40.

If there’s no office to investigate the atrocity, does the atrocity even exist?

This counts for 60% of the marks on this paper.

Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign

All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?

Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign 25P OFF WITH FARAGE REFORM UK All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?

Today, he is back in the rainy old UK, standing on a petrol forecourt in his faux-toff outfit, whingeing about Rachel Reeves putting fuel duty up by a few pennies - a tax that has been frozen since 2011. Besides, his mate Donald has done more in the past week to put up the price of petrol, with his continued bombing of Iran, than the chancellor.
Tell that to White Van Man, Nigel.

β€œFarage… helped fool everyone about Brexit - which he wants to renegotiate, naturally. Surely the British people can't take this absurd man seriously again? After all, even Trump doesn't.”

Beyond time to boot Farage and his stale band of Tories off the stage.

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

Take back control, they said.

Free us from the tyranny of the EU, they said.

And now they are calling for us to be shackled to the Trump regime; else we’ll be a piffling irrelevance.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Anyone who thinks Iran will surrender in three days is a bigger moron than Putin.
The length of the conflict will depend largely on the will of the Iranian people. Many Iranians resent their government, but decades of sanctions, memories of intervention and exploitation also created hatred toward US

They’ll do this smear campaign to every country if they don’t go all in for trumps war. Trump will do something to force NATO to have to join. You watch. This man wants & will not stop until he has his WWIII. I too live in Europe & yes the Trump Admin is a ship of fools that’s laughed at. It’s sad,

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

β€œThe 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

Trump demands "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" from Iran It's the most unambiguous statement of U.S. war aims since the operation began seven days ago.

Today's reminder that securing unconditional surrender from Nazi Germany, a country of 79 million people, took the United States 3 1/2 years, 250,000 deaths in theater, and 46 allies, including the UK and USSR. Iran has 92 million people, and Israel is the only US ally. www.axios.com/2026/03/06/t...

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Oil soars amid Strait of Hormuz shipping fears as Iran war drives prices to nearly $80 The conflict in the Middle East has sent oil prices soaring, as Brent Crude hit a new 52-week high on Monday.

There has never been a better reason to accelerate renewables in the UK. Putin is benefiting from higher prices and supply which is why Farage is anti wind and solar
