Trump's Iran endgame unclear after mixed messaging on war aims The US president laid out some of his objectives on Monday, but made no mention of what Iran's future might look like after the war.

It's not an "unconventional messaging strategy".

It's a senile buffoon, who changes his mind every few minutes, sending young men to fight, as he was once far too cowardly to do himself... ๐Ÿคฎ

This remarkably stupid woman has always had difficulty understanding what other people say.

Now she barely seems able to understand what she's saying herself...

If you're not on the side of international law, whose side *are* you on?

โ€œTrump is disappointed with Keir Starmerโ€

Trump has just spent the last 12 months taking the piss out of our war dead, threatening to collapse NATO, aiding and abetting Russian aggression, and angling to invade a European countryโ€™s sovereign territory.

And he wants us to help?

Heโ€™s off his tits.

Nigel Farage 'trying to rig' election rules in Trumpian 'sore loser' move Nigel Farage is accused of trying to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after defeat at the Gorton and Denton by-election

'Writing in the Mail on Sunday Mr Farage claimed the Greensโ€™ victory "was the most glaring example yet of what happens if weโ€™re not careful about the impact of mass immigration"'.

Or to put it more clearly 'People with brown skin shouldn't be allowed to vote'... ๐Ÿคฎ

I think the election of Hannah Spencer could be a very important development, Reece. Not just adding another Green MP to the roster, but showing people that there IS a real alternative, not only to Reform, but also to a Labour party that seems increasingly inclined to emulate them.

Such a gorgeous James Taylor song. And one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. They call her the Barnsley Nightingale... The wonderful Kate Rusby.

Have a peaceful Sunday everyone, if you can.

Israel and Iran exchange fresh attacks after Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei killed - live updates Israel says it is targeting sites

Political killings are wrong. But nevertheless, it's hard to imagine any sane or normal person mourning the demise of this evil monster.
The world is a better place without him.
Of course the same could also be said of Netanyahu.
And Trump...

The White House on X: "President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran: https://t.co/LimJmpLkgZ" / X President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran: https://t.co/LimJmpLkgZ

No authorisation of Congress. No international backing. Just a demented old man, terrified that his deepest, ugliest secrets will come to light. Who made his solemn announcement wearing a USA baseball cap.

Many schoolgirls are already dead.

What have you come to, America...?๐Ÿ˜ข

Iran latest: US and Israel launch attack on Iran, as Trump says 'major combat operations' under way - follow live The Israel Defense Forces say that Iran has launched retaliatory strikes towards Israel.

The Iranian regime is a hideous theocratic excuse for a government. It is guilty of murder, suppression of objective reporting, and denial of basic human rights.

Which makes it tragically ironic that it is being attacked on these grounds by the US and Israel...

Apart from whining on the racist's forum that used to be Twitter, does anyone know where #Farage was yesterday?

Watch: 'Working hard used to get you something', says victorious Green Party candidate In her acceptance speech, Hannah Spencer said she was โ€œno different from every single person in this constituencyโ€.

I have a feeling that the voters of Gorton and Denton may just have got themselves a first class MP!
Congratulations Hannah Spencer, and to @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social on gaining another Green member of parliament - hopefully the first of many more!

I doubt Paul Simon ever envisaged his lovely song being sung in a saaf Laandon accent.

But David Bowie opened the Concert for New York City, at Madison Square Garden in October 2001, seated alone, with just a Sony Omnichord.

And his performance worked. Beautifully... โค๏ธ

Yorkshire Water fined over ยฃ700,000 for repeated sewage releases Company admits three pollution events that killed fish and insects in Pools Brook country park near Chesterfield

I speak as someone regularly ripped off to ensure that Yorkshire Water's complex network of owners all make plenty of undeserved profits and bonuses.

Water is a basic necessity of life. And we pay them to chuck shit in it.

What a marvellous idea privatisation was... ๐Ÿคฎ

Like you, I used to be Labour Party member, Reece. I'm currently a Green Party member.

And under Ed Davey the Lib Dems have once again become an entirely reasonable choice. The broad left needs to work together. The Farage alternative is too sickening to contemplate...

Greens set for vote that would make it policy to back Hamas attacks Proponents claim a huge grassroots campaign has led to 'record-breaking' support for the 'Zionism is Racism' proposal which could be debated next month.

It would be funny if it wasn't tragic.
With a by-election looming, the Daily Mail throws a full-on fit of hysterics.
This 'newspaper', read by so many 'patriotic Brits' is owned by a non-dom billionaire hereditary peer, whose commitment to Britain may be questionable...๐Ÿคฎ

Trump's theatrical State of the Union address offers little hint of any change in course The BBC's Anthony Zurcher says the US president appealed to his base and taunted his opponents in a marathon speech.

My sincere sympathies to my American friends, or at least to any with the patience and stamina to listen to 1hr 47mins of rambling self-congratulation, lies and boasting, perpetrated by a senile showman who has nothing to show... ๐Ÿคฎ

You deserve so much better.
