Next up Spain is reportedly sending a frigate to Cyprus in support of defence there.

This seems a smart move to me, signalling European solidarity and participating in defence, while still keeping distance to US/Israel offence against Iran.

Having people tell me no one in Lebanon is being bombed while my family there describes actively being bombed (and not just that, but now there is a ground invasion) is a thing that is happening

People who β€œdon’t need to watch the news” because they β€œjust know” it wouldn’t happen

Reform dare to pretend they are an anti-establishment party. But in truth they are the party of crony corporate capitalism and the elites funded by such people to look after their own interests. Latest figures from the Electoral Commission on political party donations.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

Israel is announcing that the entirety of Dahieh is being ethnically cleansed a day after announcing that the entirety of South Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed.

Starmer is merely one replaceable cog in the British regime far right political system.

A system that shames us all.

British tycoon charters jet to flee Dubai despite claiming it is safe Samuel Leeds, who sells controversial get-rich-quick training courses online, shared videos from aboard a Gulfstream jet as he headed for Heathrow

'The investor, 34, who once said he moved to the United Arab Emirates to avoid paying "99.9% of my taxes", is a former magician whose investment courses have been described by experts as promoting tax loopholes that may not exist.'

MORAL: Never invest with a magician.

Almost 1 in 10 Reform councillors have quit β€œThe latest to leave are two women from West Northamptonshire council, who quit amid complaints against the leader, fears about child safeguarding, and suggestions of misogyny from colleagues.”

Other #Reform councillors who have been sacked include the likes of Mark Broadhurst (shared a Hitler meme), Ian Cooper (racially abused a black woman) and John Allen (threatened to murder the prime minister)

Such a nice bunch of #A*******s

Labour has no hope of survival unless it fires Shabana Mahmood. Whoever replaces Starmer as leader soon, their first task should be to purge Labour of its Wes Streetings, Shabana Mahmoods, Yvette Coopers and Morgan McSweeneys. They must do to the Labour right what Starmer did to the Labour left.

Three teen lads walked past the coffee shoppe i am in.

I have no idea of hair fashion for that age.

One had hair that looked like he was in the US Marines.

The second like he was in the Royal Marines.

The third? Hair by Labradoodle.

An outright majority would be great, but an alliance with like minded (on Indy) Greens would give a solid balance i feel.
2 votes to either party would hand list seats to unionist parties.
If your 1st vote is SNP then please make Greens Vote 2. and Vice Versa

Huffpost headline: Rachel Reeves Launches Her Strongest Attack On Brexit Amid Gloomy Economic Numbers The chancellor vowed to "break down trade barriers" between the UK and EU. By Kevin Schofield

In the light of recent UKG prnouncements on getting close to Europe, useful to remind ourselves of what the *real* UK redlines are:

a) Maintain "nostalgic" trade deals with Oz & NZ
b) Keep the City of London outside of European law
c) No free movement of people (at least nothing called FoM)

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.
