With almost every passing hour Tony Blair’s calls for U.K. - and Starmer - to fully commit to US and Israel’s war in Iran looks more deranged
BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.
DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.
Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.
Italy’s prime minister just put the US and Israel on notice, saying Italy won’t be dragged into the war. Giorgia Meloni said that US and Israeli strikes on Iran fall outside the scope of international law and made clear Rome has no plans to join the campaign.

Can we now have a serious debate in Parliament about banning greyhound racing and horse racing in England?
Once again, Trump has put Putin before the west

Abandoned the kids!
Burn your pension!
Kick the dog into the canal!
But save yourselves from democratically elected people who want to [checks notes] savagely improve the planet.
As the primary objective of European foreign and security policy for the last 60-70 years or so has been to keep Russian soldiers out of European states’ territories, I’m somewhat surprised this policy is not already in place.
This is cruel to the young people concerned, self-destructive for the UK and will not win over a single Reform voter.
We need to Trump-proof our politics and stop the US administration peddling their divisive agenda here in Britain.
Nigel Farage wants to import Trump-style chaos and division into the UK, backed by a shadowy network of think tanks and campaign groups with close ties to the MAGA movement.
Map of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism support in evacuating EU citizens from countries affected by the US/Israel-Iran war back to Europe.
A neighbour of mine was actually on a transport organised by Czechia from Israel, profiting from EU coordination.
Time to price them off the roads everywhere, by all means possible.

We need a legal/cultural shift like the one around dog-droppings.
25 years ago, it was normal to let your dog crap anywhere. Only busybodies complained.
With tough laws and changing attitudes, only sociopaths do this today.
That’s the way we should look at Range Rovers etc in towns.
De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...
"Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf channel that carries 20 percent of the world’s oil, according to U.S. officials"

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?
“Planning around preventing this exact scenario — impossible as it has long seemed — has been a bedrock principle of US national security policy for decades,” a former US official who served in Republican and Democratic administrations said. “I’m dumbfounded.”

Until we undo Brexit, this is the UK: extremely slow or no growth perpetually making our headlines.
We trashed our economy & economic prospects because Farage & Johnson don’t like brown people.
UK economy failed to grow in January, figures show www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Is #Brexit Britain "almost bankrupt", meaning we can't afford #EuropeanUnion membership?
Or...
Is the state of the #UKEconomy so precarious we can't afford to ignore the opportunities #EU membership would open up?

Never has a nation been as dominant on the battlefield as the USA.
But this war is yet more evidence that tactical mastery has stopped them thinking about strategy.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.
‘Medical records showed the detainee was taken to hospital in the summer of 2024 with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to Israeli media reports on the indictment.’
World Cups have been held in fascist countries before (Italy 34, Argentina 78), but neither of these threatened competitors' lives. Even Hitler didn't do that to Jesse Owens.
Whatever you think about Starmer and he surely has made mistakes- he is streets above Badenoch and Farage.
"Nice football team you've got there. Shame if anything happened to it..."
