News story from the Guardian: Reform UK government would replace top civil servants with those ‘more like[ly] to implement party’s priorities’
Let us hope that they will never get the chance. It the UK electorate is stupid enough to vote in a Reform government, we are lost.

What does Israel have on the US?
Is it purely control and geopolitics in middle east - or is there something in particular
It's weird - irrelevant of party or president the US supports Israel
Add the UK into that beholden to Israel

At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too.
Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police."
And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.

We knew this - but he just confirms that he is a total racist, islamophobic. What a horror of a human to have such power
He should be in prison for his abuse and rape of women and children
Instead he's murdering more people in an illegal war
I despair

And the energy for the Green Party right across Wales is so exciting.

Reform UK government would replace top civil servants with policy ‘believers’
Exclusive: Senior party figures conclude outsiders or existing senior staff deemed more suitable should take over from current permanent secretaries
FFS! "Nigel Farage’s party has promised it will enact a radical programme. One senior member said this would be modelled on the second Trump administration, with a focus on making change via executive orders rather than legislation, where possible"

At the time, far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the soldiers should be treated like “heroes, not villains.”
Meanwhile, Spain has permanently removed its ambassador to Israel as the Spanish government intensifies its opposition to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

🚨 If Reform can’t run Worcestershire… how can they run Britain?
Nigel Farage now says Reform “regret” taking control of Worcestershire County Council.
No one forced them to stand.
They campaigned on cutting waste and reducing taxes.

🇮🇷 Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has issued an evacuation order in Tel Aviv.
Residents in the red-marked area of Ramat Gan are instructed to evacuate immediately and head south. Evacuation must take place only via Route 4.
Your government is lying to you. The war has not started yet.

Does it really take a former Iranian political prisoner to school the so-called “British” Prime Minister on diplomacy? Or is Starmer just too focused on Israel’s vested interests to care about British prudence and strategy?

I know everyone lies in wars but there is no way Iran fired missiles at Turkey and simultaneously allowed Turkish boats to ship oil through Hormuz. It’s in Israeli interests to get Turkey involved in its illegal war.

While I'm glad to see the US called to account for its criminal bombing of a school in Iran, it astonishes me to see so little challenge to Gordon Brown when he appoints himself to this role. He was properly, Nuremberg-complicit in the Iraq War, in which 700 primary schools were bombed.

Millionaire Lord Offord is standing for a seat in Scotland’s Parliament.

Everyone knows who and what Reform UK stand for.
The worrying part is that some people still think it’s worth it because they believe immigration will be stopped - it won't.
It’s voter IQ I worry about - not voter ID.
