What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.
Some thoughts...

G&D and Caerphilly painting quite the picture about how the public really feel about Reform - despite much of the media’s desperate attempts to persuade us that a Farage premiership is inevitable come the next GE.

I used to scratch my head as to how they all allowed the world to go to hell in a handbasket in the 1930s and why not enough was done to prevent it. We all know now.
One of France's most prominent newspapers, Le Monde, is abandoning Elon Musk's X
“The alliance between Donald Trump & social media platform bosses such as Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg represents a global threat to free access to reliable information”

Extract from article: "The department's view that the constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government's proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind," Smith writes. "Indeed, but for Mr Trump's election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial."
Post by Tory, Daniel Hannan: “In contrast to the European Union, based on technocracy and central control, let's build an Anglosphere Union based on liberty, open markets, secure property, free contract and the rule of law.”
Special Counsel (Jack Smith’s) report confirms Trump went to “unprecedented criminal effort" to retain power in 2020. Only election in 2024 stopped him being convicted.
So, when Tories say he represents the “rule of law” - just laugh at their sorry immoral arses.

Holy SHIT, Jack Smith gives no more f*cks:
“Mr. Trump's letter claims that dismissal of his criminal cases signifies Mr. Trump's
"complete exoneration…That is false.”
Translation: Trump’s immunity argument is bullshit and he’s GUILTY.
Sounds familiar...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
This is going to continue happening, more frequently and more intensely, as long as industries are allowed to expand unchecked. This is the direct result of Republican climate change denial, and putting greed over the value of human lives.

So Donald Trump is now officially a felon. He's also a rapist, an insurrectionist, a compulsive liar, a narcissist, and a scam artist. He politicized the pandemic. He's politicizing the wildfires. He will continue to do these things as long as he is allowed.
