Today, while war continued to rage in the Middle East, Nigel Farage was upset Churchill had been replaced by a beaver, Ed Davey was upset he’d been replaced by a badger, and Kemi Badenoch was just profoundly depressed about ALL the animals.
Many have asked what 'Woke' really means, suggesting it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'. Now, we have a definition and, yes, it turns out it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'
Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
The brass balls required to start a war and then complain that the
people you’re bombing “want to murder us”. I wonder if his humanity extends to Iranians (no I don’t)
When the going in Iran gets tough, switch to attacking an easier target….
It’s a bit pathetic
Populism?
We Lib Dems can do it too!
What an insufferable thing to say. Reminds me of this, which I wrote for @bylines.scot before the general election.
Badenoch and Farage would have had us bending the knee to war criminals. They should never be allowed to forget that.
I dunno, if you want to hold the UK together in the long run, you need to acknowledge that the devolved nations have more faith and trust in their devolved govts than in the UK govt, that the devolved govts know their nations better than you, and therefore you ought to defer to them on many matters.
Even granted that the Home Office makes ministers at least 50% more evil, there’s something unnerving about Mahmood’s performative cruelty
Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
Impressive that it took Badenoch less than a week to realise she’d have to lie about what she said the previous week www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
This guy, Lamin, originally from Gambia, deserves the Freedom of the City of Glasgow. Sad to have watched all the abuse he got online as people misunderstood his heroic sense of civic duty.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Weird that protesters aren't filling the streets when the streets are being bombed and the sky is black at noon
Solidarity with Frenck booksellers and readers. ✊
Always obvious to me when visiting that this is a country that loves books and now is the time for fighting for what you love and believe in if you want it to survive.
If it wasn’t clear before, it’s crystal clear now.
For large number of politicians in the UK ‘national sovereignty’ means absolute, unquestioning allegiance and subservience to the US, come what may.
And yet it’s not the US per se, is it? It’s the fascism.
Russia must be absolutely ecstatic that so many British politicians have given up on international law this week.
Yes
Does it look like these clueless fash swine don’t differentiate between combatants and civilians, between Palestinians and Iranians? It’s because they don’t. To them, it’s just World War Z.
Yes absolutely
It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
I miss the days when the culture wars meant a few old farts muttering about political correctness gone mad rather than arrays of politicians working themselves into a frenzy of self-incriminating bloodlust just to get one over the sorts of people who care about international law.
Keeping records of all the things politicians here are saying about the war that they will one day regret saying is a full-time job.
A lesson about abusive relationships: you can’t placate the abuser.
Pedro Sánchez has taken a strong position in refusing the US demand to use Spanish bases to strike Iran. Europe should show solidarity with Spain in the face of Donald Trump’s threats. https://bit.ly/4l7IYhs
Russia must be absolutely ecstatic that so many British politicians have given up on international law this week.
It’s extremely striking how unbothered news coverage is that this war is clearly illegal both domestically and internationally.
