Murdoch's and other right-wing Tory rags baying like rabid dogs for Starmer to join Trump's illegal war on Iran.

All they want to do is stir up trouble for the Labour government, like their Tory and billionaire owners ordered them to do.

Vile.

The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

People really need to decide what they want from this life, their children’s lives and this world we all live in.

And change the system so that actual people are making the big decisions.

People don’t want war and hatred.

They just want to enjoy the short time we’re all on this earth.

Deportations for clicks? The Home Office TikTok account The Home Office TikTok deportation videos spark alarm over performative cruelty and rising anti-migrant rhetoric in Scotland and the UK

"The Scottish Refugee Council has strongly criticised the Home Office’s TikTok account. In a statement provided to us, it described the videos as β€œan act of performative cruelty” that turn β€œpeople in desperate situations” into social media content."

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

Webb's line of questioning to Darren Jones on the US-Israel/Iran war was all from the perspective of the Tories-Reform. Shouldn't the BBC have some balance in their interviews? #r4today

Whatever you think about him (and I believe he's made some political errors), I'm bloody glad he's in charge at a time like this instead of Badenoch or Farage, who would both have gone head first into this war.

Privitisation of our critical services is wrong. Farage wants the US type privatised health care, that would be worst possible thing to do.
Hospitals are not and should not be treated as businesses.
Here is a warning from the US

Labour anxiety and accusations after big shift in Muslim vote to Greens PM criticises β€˜sectarian politics’ in byelection but party may fear Greens’ nascent leftwing political machine

The Greens didn't win because of sectarian politics or 'Family Voting'

They won because Hannah and Zack come across as honest, compassionate and principled.

Values that are totally alien to Starmer and Farage.
