New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Just seen a Twitter screen grab of someone referring to Andrew Tate's 'desert trek' into Dubai as 'Lawrence of dry labia'

Monty Python had the Ministry of Silly Walks. BBC News is becoming the Ministry of Stupid Questions.

Naga Munchetty is capable of asking the STUPIDEST questions! “Can you guarantee the flights will take off?” NO - nobody can guarantee that the next EasyJet flight will depart from Luton, let alone the Middle East. Things go wrong….

One of the places we’re seeing astonishing developments is SCIENCE.

But none of the medical advances will come from the USA, because the destructive morons in the Trump regime SHUT DOWN ALL OUR MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS, many that were nearing the finish line in child cancer & other terrible diseases.

They have mad Mullahs. We have mad Christian evangelicals.

Reform councillor Graham Eardley has been suspended for behaving so aggressively towards a female volunteer that security had to escort him out. That’s at least 63 Reform councillors gone in ten months – nearly one in ten!

We stand before an opportunity.

Europe can step onto the global stage united and strong, or resign ourselves to the sidelines.

Paraphrasing Winston Churchill in June 1940, this may not be Europe’s finest hour, but it is Europe’s hour of decision.

My remarks at the Churchill Lecture in Zurich ↓

Read the Malcolm+Ramsay comments.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

See, for example, R v R [1991] UKHL 12 (Marital Rape Exception); R (Nicklinson) v Ministry of Justice [2014] UKSC 38 (Assisted Suicide); Hall v Simons [2000] UKHL 19 (Advocates' Immunity) and many more.

100%.

Sometimes the judge may pass a negative judgement on a case but in the summation comment that the law on the point in question is not fair and needs revision. That’s a very powerful tool in the fight.

Use every tool that gains sufficient attention. It’s why the far right use bots.

Bruce rightly defines these rich and powerful as parasites.

So trying to hold these people accountable isn’t an abuse of process. It’s trying to raise attention to the need to hold them to account in the law.

Read “liars and outliers” by security expert Bruce Schneier. The press is powerful, which is why billionaires (particularly ones that don’t live in the country) want to own it - it can help them avoid accountability and influence opinion.

Like regulating anything. The executive branch proposes regulation, the legislature debate and pass it, and the judiciary enforce it. We have OFCOM, OFGEM, OFWAT, OFRAIL - all of which have been the victim of regulatory capture by capitalist and foreign interests. That’s what needs to be dealt with.

That needs to be changed. If the MSM are an essential part of a democracy (the 4th pillar) then they need to be regulated as part of the democracy to ensure no corruption and to ensure accountability, transparency, and an informed citizenry.

Fines for UK financial crime nosedive to ‘pitiful’ lows Penalties from the FCA drop by 78% in five years as it prepares to take on a new role as 'super-regulator'

strikes me that one of the most obvious things this government should do is properly resource regulators. There’s a gigantic gap between law and its enforcement, yet politicians always focus on announcing new rules rather than applying the old ones www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.

Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...

But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable”

Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

As Democracy Volunteers are the source of the claim of "Family Voting" in the Gorton & Denton by election, I got curious about their claims and thanks to @joenoonan.bsky.social I came across this claim about "Family Voting" during the 2020 Irish General Election.

A brief 🧵

A full house for the debate in Westminster Hall today on the Impact of the 2016 EU Membership Referendum on the UK, as a result of over 11,000 of you writing to your MP to urge them to attend. Stephen Gethins MP has started the debate with a strong opening speech.

Andrew 'had 40 sex workers brought to five-star hotel' in just four days Andrew Mountbatten Windsor had 40 prostitutes brought to him over four days on a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, a historian has shockingly claimed

Hard working royals earning respect for our country through their unique soft power.

God we are so lucky to have them.
