Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.
Did you see this headline?
Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?
Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπ€·ββοΈ
Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?
Course you would!π
Let's take a look

Prof. Robert Pape:
"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".
Keir Starmer refused in the Commons yesterday to agree to a parliamentary vote on UK military action over Iran.
He said this βconventionβ applies only to βoffensiveβ not βdefensiveβ use of force. π
"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

This is an attack on our fundamental rights, and another divisive, scapegoating policy that tears at our communities and solves nothing. It must be reversed.
Everyone deserves the chance to settle, rebuild and put down roots, not face a life in limbo.

π₯The Economic Consequences of War in Iran.
My first data dive on the extraordinary events in the Gulf.
On chokepoints, oil/gas giants and the reason a drone strike on a plant most people have never heard of thousands of miles away could plunge Europe back into energy crisis

I encourage children and young people, their parents and carers, and anyone with an interest in young people's wellbeing, to take part.
Anyone here fancy getting a team together for our social club #ncfc themed quiz night?

Due to drone attacks by Iran, UK media are now covering RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, from where the RAF conducted over 600 spy flights for Israel during its genocide.
Analysis last year by Prof Des Freedman found no MSM investigations into Akrotiri.

DOES ANYONE know whether the correct termi- nology is 'World War Three' or 'Third World War', or are both acceptable? A quick reply would be appreciated as I work in insurance and need to make sure the 'Claim Rejected' letters are word perfect. Steve Crouch, Peterborough
