Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei could be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would...

Maybe the most vital reporting I've seen today. Trump admin went to war today with his own intelligence saying that Khamenei's death could lead to the IRGC taking over.

I hope Ukraine is doing surcharging on drone defence consultancy to countries that refused to aid them against Iranian drones and who are now having Iranian drones smash into their own skyscrapers.

I'm struggling to understand the present-day "peace through strength" concept — where some dictators are eliminated, while one particular dictator is offered generous business opportunities and full impunity for genocide.

2020: Farage says Trump lost due to “ballot harvesting”, a clam that was disproven.
2024: Nigel Farage votes by post.
2024: Farage reported for election fraud in the 2024 General Election and only escaped a probe because of a time limitation technicality.

Drunkard rapist fox host Pete Hegseth is set to ban members of the military from attending Yale, Brown, Columbia and other universities as the MAGA regime cuts ties with schools they hate.

Truly disgusting that a decorated 4-star General was replaced by this vile piece of shit.

The lying, racist Mail on Sunday going Full Trump after its Far Right candidate got spanked in the by-election.

We need proper controls on dishonest journalism that peddles racial hatred.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Imagine saving up for a dream holiday in the Maldives and he was there. There should be an insurance clause to cover disasters like that.

It doesn’t “resemble” a crime syndicate, it IS a crime syndicate.

A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

All across Europe significant figures are rightly being arrested/ investigated in connection with Epstein yet in the US where we know there are significant figures who consorted with Epstein, nada.
As though there’s a President & Cabinet who have a vested interest in trying to make it go away.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
