The Lib Dem leader called on 'tax exiles in Dubai' to also start paying UK taxes to fund the Armed Forces.

Rachel Reeves needs to be careful who she is seen with. She ought to take a leaf out of my book and hang around with someone charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm then describe him as "an important voice for young men".

Iranian drones have reportedly attacked Victory Base Complex near Baghdad international airport in Iraq. #Iran

"Hopefully the IRGC and police will peacefully merge with Iranian patriots".... this is the same IRGC that just murdered all those thousands of protesters? The IRGC that America just attacked?
Yes, i'm sure they're just going to back down now....
Fucking moron.

‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 100 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

I hope Reform keep trying to stand this loser so the Green Party can keep crushing him.

Live updates: Iran’s supreme leader killed in strikes, Israeli sources say | CNN President Donald Trump has called for regime change following the massive US and Israeli attack, which prompted an unprecedented wave of retaliatory strikes by Iran. Follow for live updates.

"Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in today’s massive US and Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Israeli sources."
I won't shed tears for that brutal man, but nor do I applaud US/Israel & their neo-fascist behaviour.

Let’s call it as it is, not pull punches to avoid bruising Farage’s wafer thin skin

Farage/Reform are petulant, pathetic, sore losers demanding overstretched Police waste time investigating a crime they invented, to undermine Green Party’s win and make it all about them 🤷🏼‍♂️

T*ssers everyone of them❗️

Absolutely.

It is also striking that commentators talk of the “white working class” in Denton but not of the “Muslim working class” in Gorton, Levenshulme, etc. “Working class” vs Muslim is not a helpful framing. Hopefully will write more on this. 7/

Quick point on some of the framing of the Gorton and Denton result and sectarianism. It’s commonly posed as Gorton (or strictly, the wards in Manchester part of the constituency) being the Muslim part and Denton (or, the part of the constituency in Tameside)… 1/

Some clear political differences emerging between the political parties this morning:

Reform - via Nigel Farage tweet - says UK should allow US to use our bases to attack Iran.

Green Party says UK must stay out of it.

Starmer chairing COBR and so far on the fence.

"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective."

While the US & Israel are now carrying out military strikes on Iran, which is responding with military strikes of its own, I have one request for you readers & journalists. Don't forget #Ukraine. The past has taught us that Putin will take advantage of this & that attention can shift all too easily.
