She's gone now, but for a while (49 days), this specimen was the UK's equivalent.

I wish I was joking.

Colloquially, and on a global scale, we call the 'Iran conflict', the #EpsteinWar.

You might want to adopt the vernacular of the people, rather than setting a narrative we clearly see right through.

Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won' The remarks come after a public back-and-forth between Trump and Sir Keir Starmer over UK involvement in the US's joint offensive with Israel against Iran.

It only seems like a week ago, he told Starmer to fuck off on this very issue.

Well, I'll be! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know a week is a long time in politics, but a not even a week has passed since winning the war? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remind me. What's the point of sending ships to a war that the US claims to have already won?

Ethics adviser rejects Tory call for inquiry into PM over Mandelson appointment Sir Laurie Magnus said the relevant process appeared to have been followed when Lord Mandelson was made ambassador.

Sir Laurie Magnus refuses to do his job, and not investigate a known and admitted mistake, he should resign to allow someone else to do the job.

Yet another sordid chapter in the Starmer potboiler of unethical political intrigue. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Raffi Berg "has consistently failed to meet the BBC’s editorial standards of impartiality and fairness by shaping coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict so as to favour Israel..."

If you have managed to survive the Starmer project unscathed, then you simply don't have what it takes to demand electoral trust.

If they are such stalwart moral bastions, why haven't they been whipped out for being so?

That sounds like an admission that the US intends to wipe out the Iranian people as a whole.

There’s a word for that, isn’t there?

Tony Blair has rebuked the UK prime minister over Trump's war on Iran by saying, "we should've backed America from the very beginning", the Mail reports. The paper describes it as a "stinging blow" to Sir Keir Starmer, who decided not to join the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran.

If you have war criminal Blair condemning Starmer for not supporting the illegal Epstein War, Starmer should be looking to de-escalate his deputy’s assurance that it’d be legal to escalate.

US-Israel war with Iran: B-1 Lancer bomber lands at RAF Fairford The aircraft is the fastest bomber in the US Air Force and is piloted by a crew of four.

There’s no such thing as a defensive strike on Iranian missile sites, when you are carry out a war crime of aggression.

It’s time to close down all US air bases on our territory.

It is good to be counted, even if you vote for Vermin Supreme.

I don't know if the US counts spoiled ballots (or even has the capacity for it, considering the prevalence of voting machines), but if they are counted, your vote isn't isn't wasted.
