I didnt think people would ever be shooting at me if I was an immigration. What a bellend.

"The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai."

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) speaks to reporters outside a Senate Committee hearing

Chris Murphy: “He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation — This is a disaster. It is illegal. And the president is obligated under the Constitution to come to Congress & ask for an authorization of military force”

Daniel is entirely right here.

We need to be far better at making the case for immigration and asylum. As Brexit showed just being right isnt enough - you need to convince the wider public.

And right now, frankly, we're losing. And have been for a while.

HI ALL!👋 We heard that the sky is bluer here so we thought we’d come over and take a look!

I scream this internally anytime someone says “department of war”

And we will have resultant blow back of Terroism and the Spanish won't.

I rather suspect the IRGC and Hezbollah won't bother with semantics.

If strikes are happening FROM your bases, then you are, in fact, joining offensive action.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

By most accounts, crowds gathered on Valetta's harbour walls to watch these destroyers get Ohio and her fuel oil in. Without which the island would have to surrender.

They watched as the three ships, with Ledbury buzzing around them, moved slowly around and through the safe route to the harbour. /4

Destroyer HMS Ledbury was part of the disastrous PQ17 arctic convoy

During Pedestal, she was ordered back to Gibraltar. Her captain ignored it. He'd sworn they'd never leave a convoy again, if there was a chance to save it

She found Penn and Bramham trying to save SS Ohio and was the difference /1

these people should all hang

Mr. S: You know why they're Scottish Widows?

Me: Go on ...

Mr. S: Their husbands got kilt.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Americans rise up against your government.

People will argue you need nukes to deter aggression, but having allies willing to defend you works just as well, if not better.

This is why multinational alliances/federations/unions are better (and probably cheaper) than weapons of mass destruction.

Zac Goldsmith pivoted from bit-right-greeny-centrist to dog-whistle anti-immigration racist to try and beat Sadiq. Got himself smashed in the London Mayorals as a result. As every Tory has since.

Crazy to think the lesson Labour HQ keep taking from that nationally is 'be more like Zac"

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

Hey, man, if you're not up for the job requirements of being a congressman -- if the whole "war powers" part is too much of a hassle for you -- I'm sure the people in your district can find someone else who'll do the actual work for that paycheck.

Agreed. There's a shameful attempt being made by Reform and much of the tabloid press to delegitimise Muslim voting and to undermine trust in elections. We can stand resolutely against that, without ourselves undermining trust in election observers, who are a crucial part of the electoral process.

The organization concerned appears to misunderstand the law. This is still up on its website.
