Junk mail about care homes? Send them to Reform... It's worth the price of an envelope.

โ€˜No clear goalโ€™: lack of Iran war plan has unleashed chaos and could stymie US military for decades, say critics White House contends with reality of shoddy preparations for war and unclear conditions for victory

FAFO.

I've got some junk mail leaflets about care homes I can mail them.

You're forgetting the perks of the job. Look across the pond and see how well his mentor's doing out of it. Starmer's freebie glasses are but an atom in that universe of greed and grift.

The Ch4 doc about the Dunblane massacre this week, recalled the overwhelming shock the ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง public felt, unlike the US where school shootings are met with thoughts, prayers, and a shrug.

Blair's govt strengthened our hand gun laws so it never happened again: Nigel Farage wants them relaxed.

Is the delectable Isabelle Oakshott still in Dubai? Perhaps it's good old fashioned British pluck honed in the Blitz alongside cheery Londoners singing 'Knees up Mother Brown' in bombsites.

Or perhaps it's not.

The next President can't fix it, nor the one after, or the one after that. All the kings horses and all the kings men can't put America together again.

How does Trump keep henchmen like Rubio in check? He literally makes them wear shoes that are far too big | Marina Hyde The art of the heel: if you want a shot at the US presidency, you better be ready to sartorially debase yourself on the world stage, says Marina Hyde

What pathetic little toadies these courtiers hanging on the words of King Donald the Mad are, desperate for his favour, terrified of his narcissistic rage. Not a single vertebrae between them.

UK 'sovrintee'ยฎ๏ธ died when Farage and Johnson lured us out of the EU with false promises and thrust us ever more firmly into the arms of our US abuser.

I was offered a hospital appt for an ECG this week and sent a link to the NHS My Data website. I had to complete it before my appt was confirmed. No opt out. So, it was either give Palantir access to my whole medical history or no ECG.

Unfortunately, it's not just old men, it's weak men like Hegseth, and their wretched macho values. Would a woman imagine, create or sanction such a vile depiction of a real war, in which real ppl are dying in agony, especially one which has seen the bombing of a primary school? No.

Brilliant article, well worth a read:

"By claiming it had existential control over Iran, the United States provided Iran an opportunity to demonstrate how limited the United States power really is (particularly when that power is being wielded by fucking incompetents), and the Mullahs obliged."

Nigel Farage faces questions over Dunblane comments at PMQs YouTube video by The National

A very moving Ch4 documentary tonight on Dunblane and the fight to ban handguns should make Farage hang his head in shame for calling the ban ludicrous. But no, he'll still sit there gurning while the US gun lobby lines his pockets, but perhaps it'll wake others up.

"My story is only one thread in something much larger: a generation that refuses to surrender its future, and that has grown strong fighting a rigged system. And we are just getting started."

Despairing lefty grandmas everywhere thank you. You made this one in the UK cry. God speed.

There was a vocal cohort of war hawks in the audience, but the biggest applause was still for Sian Berry. And for Kay Burley's line, "don't send your children to fight in a war you won't fight in yourself". Quite. Especially if it's Trump's war.

Quite, and his suggestion that Iranians will now rise up, unarmed, and wrest power from the heavily armed IRG thugs is utter nonsense.

First reign in Murdoch and your r/w dominated media, or you haven't a chance of even beginning to repair the damage - if it ever can be.

I hate to break this to you, but it's not going to be fixed in a term, or two, or three, possibly never. Your allies now view you with deep distrust and are forming new alliances. What's done cannot be undone.

They don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans - or anyone else. I'm genuinely sorry for the suffering of Americans, it's very tough, but please, for God's sake, keep it to yourselves and stop inflicting it on the rest of us.

There is no way you saw that coming.

Ho Chi Minh, the leader of North Vietnam, said, "You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win," emphasizing long-term resilience against foreign intervention.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ukraine, now Iran... No one ever learns.
