The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

"using Palantir’s software would increase dependence on a U.S. provider. It also poses the risk of losing data sovereignty and thereby national sovereignty.

"Above all, however, the army’s staff experts say it remains unclear who has access to data shared with Palantir."

Obviously all these countries which are bombing and supporting the bombing of Iran and declaring their friendship for the Iranian people are preparing facilities to house the influx of Iranian refugees which is likely to follow. Israel, USA, UK, France…?

Israel jubilant as Iranian school girl death toll surpasses expectations with over 148 "liberated" There were wild celebrations in bunkers across Tel Aviv—and even a Florida congressional office—as exciting news updates rolled in.

Israel’s latest success came after a precision-guided missile struck a high-value military target: the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

UK to allow US to use British bases for defensive strikes against Iran Keir Starmer says decision is due to Iran’s approach becoming more reckless and putting British lives at risk

“The US has requested permission to use British bases for [a] specific & limited defensive purpose. [British jets were in the air] as part of coordinated defensive operations, which had already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes."

The massacre of 150 children is to be defined as "defensive."

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

A war between Iran, America, and Israel.

The result:
The closure of the crossings in Gaza and the prevention of food and medicine from entering.

It's clear we in Gaza have a strange characteristic:
Whenever anyone in the world gets angry… we die.
The genocide continues…
famine strikes again!

The claim that the Iranian girls school was hit by a misfired Iranian missile reminds me of the story of a Palestinian hospital that was hit by a misfired Hamas missile.

It’s like the 4Chan tactic of identifying every mass shooter as trans …

It’s the political version of stop hitting yourself.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Really saddened to hear of the death of the legendary Paul Conroy at just 61 - one of the bravest, best and kindest of people and an astonishingly good photographer to boot.

Here is his last work for Byline Times.
