Keir Starmer will pay the price if the bill for Iran war spirals He can’t do much about it, but voters will punish the prime minister anyway if conflict in the Middle East pushes up the cost of living even further

Usual pathetic whinging from #Tory Daniel Finkelstein, desperate to continue criticising Keir Starmer, while Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, hasn't exactly had her finest moment in urging UK support for Trump and Netanyahu's war in Iran.

Farage, Badenoch and their fawning supporters, now backtracking on their hasty and misjudged support for Netanyahu and Trump's illegal war on Iran. Strange how they suddenly shifted their positions after belatedly realising the mood of the public was against being sucked into a Middle East war.

Kemi Badenoch accused of insulting armed forces for saying RAF 'hanging around' in the Middle East The Tory leader said British forces needed to stop Iranian missiles being launched rather than just intercepting them.

If you ever had any doubt about the political ineptitude of Kemi Badenoch then her interventions on Iran should surely settle your mind

So Badenoch, Farage and Blair think the Iran war is a great idea? Hmm … | John Crace Kemi may be all in favour, but at least economic realpolitik is forcing her to take a slightly different tack

Starmer β€˜too scared’ after by-election loss to support war in Iran, Badenoch says Starmer faced a humiliating by-election defeat in Gorton and Denton to the Green Party last week

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.

Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.

β€œHe is, of course, a serial liar & prone to espousing completely contradictory positions within moments of each other.” It is extraordinary to me that journalists continue to β€˜analyse’ Donald Trump without adding this constant caveat. It does readers, listeners & viewers a grave disservice.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Inside Trump's dangerous mind from 'mental decline to reality show warmongering'

Not too long ago, there were calls to award US President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in the Gaza ceasefire.

I do wish someone would have the guts to say 'well, of course Trump is talking rubbish - for one, because this war is clearly not won yet' and then 'we need to be very wary of getting caught up in a storm created by a deluded megalomaniac'.

I know, I know, she can't say the second part.

Trump can walk away from this β€œlittle excursion” as he now calls it, but I have a feeling that Iran isn’t going to let bygones be bygones for a few more decades.

If Russia had planted a sleeper agent in the US with the goal of winning the presidency and driving the US into ruin they could not have done a better job than what Donald Trump is doing

The missing voice in the debate over Jeffrey Epstein's death is found in the Epstein files The Epstein files include a never-before-seen interview with the doctor who conducted the autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein.

1/ After examining Epstein's corpse, Baden was convinced he died by homicide.

Baden said he has never seen 3 fractures in a suicidal hanging as a medical examiner for 25 yrs, nor while serving for decades as NY state commission that oversees prison deaths.

Former President Clinton’s deposition raised even more questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

What’s clear is that the Trump administration is engaging in a massive cover-up and they must be held accountable.

Absolutely shocking - #Trump lied that it must have fired by the Iranians "because they're such lousy shots" - turns out otherwise. Warmongering by Netanyahu and Trump, pursuing their own objectives in an illegal war. All turning to shit for Trump, while the world burns.

The UK's worst national humiliation since the Suez debacle was choosing to leave the European Union.

Daniel Hannan agitated for Brexit for more than 20yrs.

By achieving Brexit, Hannan helped make the UK poorer, weaker, less secure, less competitive and less influential - both in Europe & globally.

Daniel Hannan, another brexit 'brain' who thinks sovereignty is doing whatever Washington says we should do.

Traitors the fucking lot of them.

Farage is a traitor, with proven #ReformUK connections to Russia. His aim is to spread division, as he did with Brexit, and is now doing with support for the warmongering actions of Netanyahu and Trump, As for Badenoch πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ she has the intelligence of a house brick. @reformexposed.bsky.social
