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

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.

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 "Shahed-like drone" which targeted an RAF base in Cyprus on March 2nd was not launched from Iran, says a UK Ministry of Defence spokesperson.
Origin of the attack drone under investigation.
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.

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
Come on people we want a majority to get away from the cesspit shithole known as Westmonster.

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.
