Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

"The Split-Screen War"
How did America get into such a mess in Iran?
What are their options?
What will Iran try to do with the leverage it's acquired? Can they sustain it?

Brexiters fury is "entirely understandable. For years they argued that time would prove them right. Instead time appears to be proving something else".

Trump's FCC Czar and the face of pure evil, Brendan Carr, is threatening to revoke license renewals for broadcasting "fake news."
According to Trump, everything is "fake news."
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) pushed back on Twitter saying, "Take your fascist sh*t and shove it."
So dark. Kushner raises billions for his fund while the family of a soldier killed in Truml’s war gets help on Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/major-alex...
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
The installation, titled Above and Beyond, hangs in the National Veterans Art Museum in Chicago. It includes over 58,000 replica tags, one for each American soldier killed or missing in action during the Vietnam War.
An actual post by the sitting President of the United States. 🤬

One week ago. 🤡
This is incredible.
The Trump administration is like that person who thinks they’re the smartest one in the room, but they’re really the loudest, confusing arrogance with intelligence and raw stupidity with strength.
Bet they never saw this likely scenario coming.
Everyone who thinks seriously about war understood *exactly* what this would look like. It's just that the people who started the war didn't think seriously.
Complex ‘highly aggressive’ tax structure avoids £600,000 tax for Reform deputy Richard Tice bit.ly/4cNFkrc “Voters should be reassured to have a successful businessman who knows how to make money for shareholders” he responds. He is one of the shareholders.
Nobody can ever accuse Richard Tice of not loving his money!!... I mean his country... sorry... his country

Patriot Richard Tice MP for Boston and Skegness who has just been caught funnelling £600k corporation tax into offshore accounts promised to purchase a property in his constituency after winning his seat. Said property purchase never materialised, instead he moved his family to DUBAI.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
There is absolutely no bottom.

Pete Hegseth reportedly spent $24M of expiring DOD funds on lobster, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab.
Now the Pentagon wants ANOTHER $500B, on top of Trump's record-setting $1T military budget.
Imagine what we could spend that money on instead.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Rachel Reeves to use the Mais lecture next week to argue for closer UK alignment with the EU single market.
This political + policy debate could well accelerate between mid-March and June 23rd 2026, the 10th anniversary of the referendum.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
🚨 If Reform can’t run Worcestershire… how can they run Britain?
Nigel Farage now says Reform “regret” taking control of Worcestershire County Council.
No one forced them to stand.
They campaigned on cutting waste and reducing taxes.
NEW EPISODE: DOJ is sitting on half of the Epstein Files — and Congressman Robert Garcia says that's no accident. It's a cover-up, and Trump is leading it. Rep. Garcia and I break down where the Epstein investigation stands: who's been subpoenaed and what the DOJ is hiding. youtu.be/UE-QUZ0xB4s?...
Trump says the U.S. will be “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” and shooting Iranian boats out of the water to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, while claiming Iran’s military has been “100% destroyed” (not true). He also called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the U.K. to send warships.
in a single sentence Trump claims Iran's military is "destroyed 100%" but also admits "it's easy for them to send a drone or two" 🙃
The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.
Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.
