This is fucking disgusting. UK politics just as fucked as US politics and it doesn't go as noticed since my country decided bombing elementary schools is cool and the UK political snakes are benefitting greatly from it.

Fuck Labour and anyone who believes they are the lesser of two evils. They are worse than the Tories because at least the Conservative party have the decency to stand on their principles, as awful as they are, to get elected.
Surprise, Emma Reynolds is the environment minister. Once a lobbyist, twice a lobbyist.
After losing her seat in 2019 Reynolds was appointed as Managing Director of Public Affairs, Policy & Research at The CityUK, a group lobbying the UK Government. Expect no change.
Jail the execs, fine them into bankruptcy and renationalise
So just lobbyists, fraudsters, oligarchs and people who gave Boris Johnson a particularly spectacular blow job then?

Wild that Labour drove our expectations so low that they created a political environment where the emergence of an opportunity to vote for a party that wasn't led by a psychopath was all it took to finish them off. It will be studied for decades—Rob Ford and Matt Goodwin will write a book about it.
It’s quite funny how there’s a small but growing chance Zack Polanski will be Prime Minister entirely because he stands there not being Starmer.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
Apsana Begum, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain, Kim Johnson, Ian Lavery, John McDonnell, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Jon Trickett and Nadia Whittome were the only rebels
Show trials with a carefully selected judge it is then ...
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
My stalker violated one of his restraining orders like a dozen times, filmed it and posted it himself, and eventually he spent a few weeks in jail for it after multiple people spent 40 hours a week working on it.
Also you can buy a camera not owned by Amazon.
Respect to: Apsana Begum, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain, Kim Johnson, Ian Lavery, John McDonnell, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Jon Trickett and Nadia Whittome for rebelling
Labour is finished now though, as a party decent people can support
Carl Schmitt is alive and well and advising David Lammy apparently
Britain is being betrayed by MPs. Your MP is lying to you - don ‘t believe the lie. Trial by jury is your right as a British citizen - MPs do NOT have any right to steal that from you. Change the system - join Restore Britain.

Fun fact: at CENTCOM, the Iran-focused Jim Mattis developed a plan to open the Hormuz strait. It revolved around rapidly speeding a multinational force to the strait to *prevent* mine laying; and then minesweeping what Iran already laid.
Problem is: then the ships are in range of Iranian missiles.
I wrote this 7.5 years ago about why Iran's naval mines are such a problem for the US in the Strait of Hormuz. The challenge is even greater now, as the US's dedicated mine-countermeasures ships in Bahrain have retired and its new counter-mine platforms have struggled to come online archive.ph/Gvvrt
The WSJ editorial board seems to think the Iranians are just now figuring out their Hormuz leverage. They’ve been planning this for a decade.

Nation Admittedly Curious To Hear How Trump Pronounces ‘Strait Of Hormuz’
Precocious!
Ed Miliband, famously closing coal mines as a 14-year-old minister in Thatcher's government during the miners' strike
In response to this CNN report:
Iran has begun laying a small number of mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Only a few dozen mines have been placed so far, but Iran still has most of its mine-laying boats available and could deploy hundreds if it chooses.
Donald J. Trump • • @realDonaldTrump If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY! If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before. If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction! Additionally, we are using the same Technology and Missile capabilities deployed against Drug Traffickers to permanently eliminate any boat or ship attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait. They will be dealt with quickly and violently. BEWARE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
His desperation is showing. I bet the Iranians can’t believe it.
“The sole purpose of that lie is to justify Operation Epic Mistake, a misadventure engineered by Israel and paid for by ordinary Americans.”
