Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

A tale in four parts.

Please tell us what the alternative to..."electoralism" is.

He was actually in Kazakhstan.

I would now invite you all to look at the graphic on the left and the reality of the situation and ask you to join me in laughing your head off.

“Bombs will fall Everywhere”: The American, Israeli and Iranian Weapons Being Deployed in Middle East - bellingcat Bellingcat has been monitoring strikes across the Middle East and has identified a wide variety of weapons that have been used in the conflict so far, including missiles and drones.

Here's what Bellingcat has been up to this week:

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.

When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.

He then got detained by Saudi guards.

Fair point. Several of my cards allow multiple access to different sites.

Is there a hotel full of refuge-seeking tax evaders from Dubai that we can picket?

Fair play to him

It’s a variant on the “the refugees have smartphones and the people on universal credit have TV sets”

And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Going to use one of my 6 library cards today

Abolish the Home Office

They promised to bring change after 14 years of Tory failures, just didn't mention it's a change for the worse

What are Shabana Mahmood’s changes to the asylum system?

🚨Inhumane, definitely
🚨Illegal, quite possibly
🚨Ignorant, absolutely
🚨Counterproductive, unarguably
🚨Inconsistent with Labour's claims to be "progress, most certainly
🚨Costly, without a doubt
🚨Risking lives, one hundred percent

That should answer it.

Young refugee spent winter on London streets due to ‘secret’ hotel eviction rule Home Office now must give notice of its discretion to extend 28-day deadline, which it did not do for 19-year-old

Let's just be really clear here, this is far from an isolated case. The Home Office routinely makes vulnerable people homeless, and yesterday's announcement by the Home Secretary on increasing the removal of support from some asylum seekers will make it worse.

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

She’s an odd one.

Do you need sources?

Prob 75% of my estate is private owners who bought their flats.

Well, I’m a chemical warfare historian.

NOBODY TELL HER

it's funnier that way

Mahmood to stop study visas from four countries due to 'abuse' The government will end study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, due to what she says is abuse.

Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar & Sudan will find their citizens all losing the ability to come here legally on study visas, while Afghanistan is also losing skilled visas.

This is a form of collective punishment and is deeply discriminatory.
