British tourist among 20 charged in Dubai over videos of Iranian missile strikes UAE cybercrime law means sharing images or footage of war can bring jail, prison time and deportation

No doubt the Free Speech loving Isabel Oakeshott will be all over this and down the nick in Dubai protesting against it...

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."

Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?

Labour 'gave us no details' of caveat on £10m Scottish fund, Kate Forbes says

The UK Government did not give their Scottish counterparts any prior notice before telling the media that a £10 million investment would be contingent on the SNP administration, it has emerged

Same for Palantir - they should not be offered contracts by govt departments or agencies in the UK which gives them leverage over critical state functions. It's an overtly evil organisation run by fascists.

“Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.” A subheading underneath says: “Ofgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.”

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.

Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.

We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.

The UAE is known for having one of the worst human rights records in the world, with torture frequently utilised by its justice system and severe restrictions on freedom of speech imposed.
Criticising or insulting the UAE government or its institutions can result in fines of up to £200,000 or five years in prison, and possible deportation.
One anonymous influencer told the Daily Mail that many British content creators were scared to share what was going on in Dubai because they "could be deported or lose their homes"

Does anyone know how Isobel Oakeshott is doing in Dubai?

Still happy with her unpatriotic lifestyle in her unpatriotic tax haven?

Ironically, she can’t tell us if she’s not happy with life in Dubai as she could be imprisoned, fined up to £200,000, and be stripped of any property.

Families given a week to decide whether to leave UK voluntarily plead for more time Home Office targets 150 families whose asylum claims were refused and offers them up to £40,000 to leave or face forcible removal

A week! One week to make a decision of whether to rip your family from the life they have started to build.
This highlights to nonsense which is the principle of "voluntary returns" in many cases. It isn't voluntary when the alternative is being deported anyway.

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

“An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed six U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than has previously been revealed, with dozens suffering injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns.”

Did DoD soft pedal?

Farage U-turns again on Iran war as Reform’s policy descends into ‘chaos’

No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

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...

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

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.

Nobody will ever view Farage with the same regard with which he views himself. A braying, pompous relic of the upper classes, masquerading as a man of the people

Meanwhile an MP sitting in our Parliament cavorts across the world in this manner in an attempt to bring down his nation’s democratically elected government. Very dangerous times.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos.

But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out.

Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls.

The weasel has no power.

They said Farage had hoped he would

scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

And you know what? Whenever an attack on Iran has been mooted over the years - and years - all of this has been completely predicted. All of it.

America is ruled by dumb, bloodthirsty people. We gain nothing by slavishly following them.
