It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

I also want to draw attention to the may ways Covid is still affecting us today - from effects on health such as Long Covid to lasting financial and emotional strain, the impact of the pandemic is still being felt by many. If we are to prevent another devastating pandemic, the government must act.

For a week, they had eaten to the sounds of bombs in their home in Arab Salim. Hamdan eventually decided to leave for Al-Nimiriya, the sleepy town where she had grown up. Surrounded by her parents and siblings in the family home, she hoped they could finally enjoy the festive mood of Ramadan. Continue reading...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

Why an American-style health-care system would be bad for Britain A US style healthcare system may be politically desirable for some, but it is a far from perfect system, even for the insured

Politicians on the right laud the US healthcare system. Yet medical bills is the single biggest cause of bankruptcy – having insurance doesn’t mean you're covered.

Read now to see why the NHS is by far the better option.

We cannot allow political subservience to Trump and Netanyahu to lead Britain into a dangerous, illegal, expensive war.

It's time for Starmer to show some genuine backbone on the international stage.
