TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
Every time - petrol companies do it every time.
"The legacy of Mosaddegh continues to resonate not only within Iran but also in broader discussions about national sovereignty, foreign intervention, and the fragile nature of democratic institutions."

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
You’re right, Ken. Vacuous generalised guff - the kind of thing you hear from opinionated drunks towards closing time in a pub. Too many intellectual holes in the verbal flow to even begin to sort it out.
Only got the headline but maybe Rifkind can talk us through whether the Left or the Right was correct about Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003) interference in Libya (2011).
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Proportionate response.
“To appease its billionaire press Labour has burnt its house down.” A succinct summary of Starmer’s government.
The mendacious antisemitism scam worked against Corbyn so are they trying it again here?
Oil and gas prices soar as supplies become vulnerable. Meanwhile the wind turbines keep turning, the solar panels keep working and the batteries keep on storing cheap off peak power.

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.
This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.
Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.
Will Yvette Cooper confirm that wealthy Brits who decamped to Middle East tax havens to dodge their patriotic obligation to pay their taxes won't get free flights?
Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable.

Hmm - “half” is an exaggeration.
NOEM - another mouth connected to a vacuum.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
Luna seems to be a mouth attached to a vacuum.
“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.
Clearly a man of principle. Just what they promised, right?
Maybe time to reassess. 🤷🏻
Just when you think Starmer can’t make another stupid mistake, he doubles down on the previous one. This fella was presented as Mr Sensible who was going to save the Labour Party.
I agree nobody should be drawn in by the actions of a genocidal maniac & a delusional crank so I wish Starmer’s pusillanimous statements were that clear.
No brief for the Iranian regime but what happens when a delusional fathead pokes the bear?
What was well done? The bit about British war planes being in the skies to protect our interests and our allies? Meaning what exactly?
Jasmine Crockett: “I want to remind the american people that we have a constitution — what we are clearly witnessing is lawlessness yet again from this administration—
My question to Speaker Johnson is how many ppl are going to have to die bc this president just decided to do whatever he wanted to”
Starmer shows himself to be even more stupid than Blair was with Iraq.
