Today I will mostly be trying to bribe people with cheap petrol, in the hope that they will forget that I have been cheering on the orange idiot whose war is pushing up fuel prices.
The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you
🎯 @bjennings90.bsky.social on the mark as always.
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
NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

So, as people stuggle with their mortgages and bills, Farage invests £215,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto business.
And plans to deregulate that high-risk industry by removing our rights and consumer protections.
He’s laughing at voters. All the way to the bank.

My new PoliticsJoe interview on Farage, his funders, the Gorton and Denton by-election, and plenty more 👇🏻
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS
And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.
Russians are providing military technology to Iranian proxies
Kind of weird when you can watch the global market collectively go "oh shit he is that crazy".
Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools.

Farage had given the impression that he expected to see Trump, telling an event hosted in opposition to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's proposed Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius that the president "has almost understood the deal... but I'll be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and I will reinforce the message". But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.
“Farage’s relationship with Trump has cooled”
Not really.
Farage’s relationship with Trump is a one-sided humiliation-fest.
Farage remains desperately needy and willing to sell us out to Trump. But Trump doesn’t see him as important right now.

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.
The playbook is always the same: control women, protect power.
This International Women’s Day, we want a system that actually protects us. We’re fighting back for Nina, for Liv, and for every woman the courts have silenced.

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.
It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
Trump tries to humiliate Starmer for joining his bad war “after we’ve already won” 🤔
Won what? The “mission accomplished” vibes are strong — easy to say you “won” when nobody knows what you were playing for
And Keir Starmer learning Trump will always drive the bus over you
Picture of Farage from GB News website with the caption For GB News's funders, £130m is a small price to pay fro vast influence
GB News, the channel of “reactionary rage bait”, has released its latest accounts showing a £22m loss for 2024/25 (and a £131m total loss since launch)
Yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, writes @writesbright.bsky.social for the Nerve

For those who wonder why some of us focus on the Trump/Russia connections in the Epstein Files, just follow the evidence
Senator Whitehouse does a great summary here www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...
“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”
And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"
NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”
This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...
Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...
