Calvin Bailey MP: "As a former Wing Commander, I can tell you, our brave RAF pilots are not just “hanging around” when they put their lives at risk to save others. The words you’re looking for Kemi Badenoch are ‘Thank you’

Serious times require serious politicians and you’ve just failed the test."

Kemi Badenoch accused of insulting armed forces for saying RAF 'hanging around' in the Middle East The Tory leader said British forces needed to stop Iranian missiles being launched rather than just intercepting them.

If you ever had any doubt about the political ineptitude of Kemi Badenoch then her interventions on Iran should surely settle your mind

It does not matter what words they use to describe their actions to illegally avoid Congressional approval. If people are attacked and killed by the United States military -> IT IS A WAR.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

When Hegseth talks about it, you can tell he sees it as a big game or a movie, he’s as excited as a teenage boy.

Today parents in Iran buried 165 children killed in the attack on a girls’ primary school by the United States and Israel.

From Gaza to Iran, this is what “liberation” by the West looks like.

Every time he opens his stupid mouth, I’m incredulous how anyone of sane mind could have thought he was worth their precious vote.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of Defense/War/whatevs Pete Hegseth is currently holding a press conference that is slightly adjacent to reality.

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.
