Two things are simultaneously true:
1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it.
2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

"That's just a distraction!"

Maybe but also he has the attention span of a gnat constantly flitting from one disgusting thing to another so the most likely explanation is usually "he just wants to do this new bad/absurd thing because something he saw on TV distracted *him* from the previous one"

We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

Most Britons can't make political donations/bribes and are made to suffer.

14.2m live in poverty
120,000 a year die in fuel poverty
300,000 a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in tax than the richest 20%.

Is democracy possible?

First Past the Post means millions of our votes make no difference to parliament. Add your name now to demand a fairer voting system It only takes 30 seconds

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes

Is this satire?

Your entire political career has been based on self enrichment β€” you are venality incarnate and among the easiest politicians on the planet to buy.

So Starmer, what now? How about for a start:

β€’ a modern electoral system
β€’ tackle the secretive think tanks
β€’ truly independent anti-corruption
β€’ control of lobbying
β€’ stop MPs second jobs
β€’ stop political donations

Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this.

It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

Alternet: Trump's father had Alzheimer’s disease, so some are raising questions about whether Trump has it. Trump hit back last month, claiming that while his father had Alzheimer’s, he did not. However, in doing so, he forgot the name of the disease.
