BBC Expert Demolishes Trump And Netanyahu's Case For Bombing Iran: 'A War Of Choice' Jeremy Bowen said the claim they were "pre-emptive" strikes does not add up.

Hezbollah attack on UK base in Cyprus launched before Keir Starmer granted the US permission to use joint airbases to carry out strikes, MOD say.

Thread

1. US & Isreal begin strikes with no clear legal basis - UK stays out of it.
2. Initial strikes fail to bring swift end and Iran strikes back.
3. Those retaliatory strikes start to target civilians (including UK ones) and UK military/bases. 🧵 1/4

“Legitimate concerns” has become a euphemism for endorsing racism and a cynical attempt by governments to hide from their own responsibility and failure.
It is the slogan of cowards.
The excuse for bigots.
And it blocks our path to an honest national debate on immigration. Shame on all who use it.

Robert De Niro, "This is about our country imploding, it's not something from outside, it's something inside"

"If we allow Trump to go any further he'll just take more and more and more"

"People have to push back peacefully in the streets everywhere, from now till mid-terms"

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

So, Labour involves us in America’s aggression and simultaneously plans to make refugee status temporary.
Does politics really have to be this dangerous and cruel? They take such unforgivable risks with people’s lives.

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.

The Mail on Sunday peddling Farage’s racist, fascistic, undemocratic agenda is hideous. Howling to disenfranchise voters. And wanting to remove our rights to make sure we can’t object.
Ask yourself whether this is an admirable response to losing?
Or the ugly tantrum of vengeful, entitled bigots.

Tomorrow’s front page of The Mail, no doubt

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

It’s been awful since Xmas really, I’d happily dispense with Nov-Feb

What a bugger. Hope you can make the most of it. I guess alternative routes are in high demand.

I know. The pooch doesn’t subscribe to that, we’re out in all weathers and though I moan and grumble, even in the foulest weather, I’m always glad I’ve been out !

I think he was quite tricky to be around but also must have found it physically hard. Hearing Baxter Dury talk about his childhood is quite illuminating.

Yesterday I asked how stupid Trump’s supporters were. Would they keep supporting him now that he’s gone against his fundamental promise not to engage the US in foreign wars? Watching Rep Anna Paulina Luna on CNN the answer is very stupid.

Trump's illegal war on Iran will:

1. Destabilise Iran
2. Destabilise the Middle East
3. Kill countless civilians
4. Increase terrorism
5. Send oil prices up
6. Increase inflation
7. Destabilise world economy

And all to deflect from his years of pedophiliac behaviour.

If you look hard, the shrubs and trees have new leaves slowly unfurling and the birds think it’s Spring.

NEWS Foreign-born voters stole by-election, Farage blasts, amid rising alarm over suspected poll fraud Nigel Farage has sensationally claimed that Reform UK was robbed of victory by foreign-born voters in last week's Manchester by-election.

Farage needs to fuck off with this.

The candidate that Reform stood had a long history of overtly racist views and comments, he’s a known misogynist and overall has the charisma of a soiled pair of knickers.

They are doing nothing more than causing further division.

Fuck off, the lot of them.

Under a Reform UK government, only British citizens will be able to vote. FARAGE: Letting non-British citizens vote in UK threatens democracy

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

London's Violence Reduction Unit director Lib Peck spoke to The Crime Agents about how prevention has played a key role in the progress we’re making:

I mean, knock yourself out Sky News. All dirty rapists and pedophiles should be investigated.
ALL

It just seems the British media is going after certain political figures. All happen to be on the left of politics. 🤔

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

social responsibility and kindness have reduced with the normalisation of lies and lack of accountability. Newspaper owners, some journalists and politicians, seem to have a free pass on honesty and accountability, we’re not going to rid ourselves of hatred and greed until that changes.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

A useful record of Farage’s failure and his inability to cope with it. A cheat and a very bad loser who would happily trash democracy to get the result he wants. And then remove our rights to stop us holding him to account.
Such a corrupt, egomaniacal liar should have no hope of getting power.

Any voting irregularities should be investigated. It’s a really important issue

But the idea that 4k+ votes were ‘stolen’ is Trump level nonsense

V worried British media could end up in same place as US, legitimating ‘stolen votes’ claims by parroting BS lines from Farage and Co

Yes
