President Macron, "The United States of America and Israel decided to launch military operations (against Iran)"

Screenshot of an X post by Epstein File Search quoting Bill Clinton under oath recounting a comment attributed to Donald Trump about falling out over a real estate deal and referencing Epstein. Below is a video still of Bill Clinton seated at a hearing table, speaking, with a blue backdrop and a watermark reading β€œ@GOPOversight.”

This aligns with what Epstein told Michael Wolff. The breakup was over a property they both coveted. Donald outbid Jeffrey for it with help from the Russians, allegedly. It was never over Epstein’s stealing of girls from Mar-a-Lago, as Trump now claims.

These brave Americans died because Trump was bored and wanted to spice things up with a fight.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

This is important. Reform keep taking positions that are only supported by the 25% of the electorate they already have and in doing so are negatively polarising everyone else against them.

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: β€˜We earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Reform UK wants to scrap the Triple Lock, cut the minimum wage, ditch human rights & the Equality Act, voted against workers’ rights, & wants to privatise the NHS.

The people of Gorton and Denton voted for real economic security, not Nigel Farage’s symbolic sovereignty.

Around 5600 people claim unemployment benefits in G&D.

Greens got just under 15,000 votes.

These are easily verifiable stats.

Not that it matters. Unemployed people deserve a say in a democracy and Farage is incredibly workshy as an MP.

Friendly reminder that due to our military colonies in Cyprus that Starmer's decision to back the US puts another country in Iran's crosshairs, without the consent of the Cypriot population.

Just wanted to point out to Farage that 1 in 3 people in Clacton have been out of work for up to 3 decades. So what does that also tell us?

Sudden thought:

For the Iraq War, the norms of International Law and conduct were such that the US and British establishment had to lie about Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction to justify the invasion of a Sovereign State.

For Iran they aren't bothering to justify it at all.

The three USAF $117m F15 jets shot down in "friendly fire" by Kuwait were paid for by the US taxpayer - as we're the missiles used to shoot them down.

But the $315m+ cost is nowhere near what King Donald the Mad has added to his personal fortune since entering the White House for the 2nd time.
