Interrupting a question directed at someone else with β€œAre you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” is perhaps one of the worst and eyebrow-raising ways Trump could have responded

Lisa Nandy: "Lots of my constituents worry about coming off PIP & into work because its so hard.. to get back onto it"

Except PIP isn't related to employment & plenty of disabled people on PIP do work. Nandy just told a bare faced lie.

Tehran has a city population of ~9.8 million people with a metro population of ~16.8 million.

It is the 12th most populous metropolitan area on the planet. NYC is 11th at ~18.8 million.

It is larger than Istanbul, Los Angeles, Lagos, Rip De Janeiro Moscow, Paris, Seoul, Lahore, Bangkok or London.

Hmm who provoked who more, the genocidal nation that has been systematically starving 2,200,000 people after destroying their homes, who is now telling 10,000,000 more people that their homes, and communities will be destroyed to serve that genocidal nations purpose, or the nation it is attacking?

Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, they've exploded car bombs across Tehran & yesterday they bombed the TV station there. And all this after Israel has been committing genocide for 20mths.

#GMB report: "At the G7 in Canada its clear they see Iran as being the problem"

β€œIf a [nuclear] weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threatβ€” that does not give you a right to self-defense.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains to Piers Morgan why Israel’s strikes on Iran were preventive, not preemptive β€” and therefore illegal under international law.

BBCVerify "We've been examining satellite images of Israeli strikes on military infrastructure.. we can see several areas of damage at the intl airport in Tabriz.."

So not military infrastructure?

"..which is near a reported military base"

"Do you believe Iran was on the bink of nuclear weaponisation?"

"No & there is no evidence to that effect in the public domain"

Reeves: "we are very concerned around Irans nuclear ambitions"

Some facts Reeves doesn't mention. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel does. Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty. Israel hasn't. Iran allows IAEA observers to inspect its nuclear programme. Israel doesn't.

β€œTo the Soldier Who Points a Gun at Me"
You think I'm here to die.
You think that's all we know how to doβ€” bleed, bury, break.
But listen.
I grow things.
Tomatoes in rusted cans.
Hope in children who don't know what the word means yet.
I build-walls, stories, mornings.
I fix roofs with one hand and hold my daughter's hand with the other.
And you?
You carry a gun like it's your purpose.
But l've seen men become ghosts long before the trigger is pulled.
You call this land a threat.
I call it history.
The call to prayer. The school bell.
The pot of lentils boiling over.
Don't mistake my softness for surrender.
I don't need to shout to be strong.
The fig tree in my yard
has stood through three wars without raising its voice.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it.

Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel β€” on trial for genocide β€” does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t β€” & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.

Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

To recap: Israeli military uses human shields by embedding military headquarters, munitions, and even bombing launchpads in civilian areas, they hide in tunnels, and operate out of these underground tunnels to evade their enemy.

Do you understand now that everything they say is projection?

Notice how #trevorphillips begins his program with Iranian attacks on Israel and how he reports cities have been hit & at least 8 people have ben killed. He then says this has followed Israeli attacks on "Iranian nuclear & missile sites". No mention of cities hit or people killed
