the MEK universally hated quasi islamic socialist group ( who fought on behalf of Saddam against Iran and currently thought to be funded by USA and Israel ) There is no organised resistance . The best hope is a split in the army and or the revolutionary guard but even that is a long shot

the other thing are suggestions of who will replace the current regime - either the Kurds ( only really interested in the North west bit ) The would be shah (whose Dad ran off with all the Gold and has not been in the country since twenty years plus) and 🧵

Very interesting . I was reminded of a time I was rehousing refugees . Racism was so many times equal to ignorance . Once people actually met their new neighbours and came to see them as people not stereotypes the racism dissipated. I loved the idea of prediction machines

One of the reasons why its been not seen as such a big deal here is that most properties are now quite well insulated and that works both ways . Our houses are mostly stone and brick I dont know anyone with A/c near here

Peter Mandelson advised the government to use Nigel Farage as "a bridgehead, both to President Trump & to Elon Musk. You can’t ignore him, he’s an elected member of parliament, a public figure. National interest is served in all sorts of weird & wonderful ways." Including legitimising fascists...

It's funny how #Green energy can help both the people AND the planet, yet those in power still bother with expensive fossil fuels.

I wonder if it's because #Labour & the #Tories are in their pockets?

Great stuff Ed my only quibble would be the way you portray the MEK ? I worked with Iranians in the UK and the hatred of MEK runs deep on every side the Religious ,the Royalists , left wing political types etc etc . They would rather any other the other groups run Iran rather than the MEK

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
