The present Iranian leader has been involved in negotiations with western countries in the past and appears to be a cool head who could find a way through. For that reason Israelis will probably try to murder him.

The best hope for a reasonable outcome is that Trump finds it harder going than he expected, fears the impact on US elections and tries to come to an agreement with Iran that excludes Israel and leads to a loosening of ties with Israel.

Greatly relieved that Starmer has denounced Trump but he must avoid any involvement at all. Khomeini was the spiritual leader of the world’s 250million Shia Moslems who are very angry and will be looking for revenge. Murdering him was like murdering the pope. There will be horrific consequences.

When Trump invades Greenland will he murder all their leaders first?

That’s close to 250 million Shia Moslems around the world who are now very angry - he was a spiritual leader. It’s like assassinating the pope. Was murdering him a bad mistake by Israel?

Khamenei was not just leader of Iran but also a spiritual leader of the global Shia community - close to 250 million people. That’s a lot of now very angry people. It’s like assassinating the pope. Murdering him may have been a very serious mistake for Israel.

Churchill was an imperialist arse hole. But he did stand up to fascism when others would not so let’s give him some slack for that.

Ethno nationalist ideology, undemocratic, racist, extremely brutal, expansionists, believe they represent a superior race entitled to other people’s country. Who am I talking about? Naziism? Apartheid? Zionism? Make America great? It’s all four. The same ideology - the same shit.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 β€” even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

Sadly all very true. It’s time for regime change in UDA and UK.

Shocked that Sir Keir Starmer is actively supporting Trumps piracy. At least Chamberlain only tried to appease Hitler - he did not get Britain involved in the invasion of Poland.

The government said this was the year it would turn a corner.

One week into 2026, and it has already debased itself by refusing to call out blatant violations of international law.

The government isn’t turning a corner. It’s driving us headfirst into chaos, division and war.

Average FTSE 100 CEO took less than 3 days to earn what a typical UK worker will in all of 2026.

Just 2 hours for the highest paid CEO.

Median FTSE 100 CEO pay is Β£4.4m, 113 times the median earner.
No relationship between exec pay and performance.

UK real average worker wage stuck at 2008 level

How odd. The countries that are most outspoken in condemning Russias invasion of Ukraine are silent about the US attack on Venezuela.

Just watched Age of Disclosure. I had some idea of what to expect but the film has really shaken me up. It’s sensational and 100% convincing.

Mamdani even likes cats. Seems the ideal politician. Not impressed by his rap singing though.

A day of huge mourning for the Far Right in the UK. Not only was the Huntingdon train stabbings not the terrorist/asylum seeker/immigrant atrocity they’d hoped and prayed for, here is the hero of the day:
