Can I bet on which Polymarket executives end up appearing in front of a future Nuremberg trial?

Regardless of what UAE official statements say - or wider Gulf statements for that matter - as an Emirati, I hold the US-Israel fully responsible for all retaliatory attacks launched by Iran.

If my family, loved ones, and city are - God forbid - affected, they alone are to blame.

It’s Ramadan.

The attack line on Green Drugs Policy by Reform entirely echoed and exaggerated by David Blunkett on #bbcaq

Wherever you stand on drugs and legalisation, this country needs a grown-up debate on this complex subject rather than this dismissive stuff about "Polanski wanting to legalise crack".

Leavitt in June: The June attack β€œdid, in fact, obliterate Iran’s nuclear facilitiesβ€œ

Iran latest: US and Israel carry out joint attack on Iran as Tehran launches retaliatory strikes US President Donald Trump has called for regime change in Iran and said

Take two seven year olds in a primary school in the Prime Minister’s constituency.

His Dad is a banker
Her Mum is the cleaner at that bank

Is the Government’s Ipoproposal that richer child gets permanent status at age 10 while in primary school & working class classmate not until they are 22?

Within hours of Oman's Foreign Minister saying "Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling", Israel immediately bombs Tehran & the US promptly joins

This can only mean it was NEVER about nuclear weapons & Trump is either compromised by Netanyahu or is using war to shape the midterm elections

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.
In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts withβ€”all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.
This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

She literally said she'd be there for everyone in her constituency, including those who did not vote for her

The only one stoking division is Starmer with this nonsensical letter

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

Gorton and Denton by-election: The silent majority isn't silent, and it isn't Reform Hannah Spencer’s historic Green victory shows voters are rejecting division and embracing progressive politics

The β€œsilent majority” has now been tested more than once. And when it is summoned to the ballot box, it turns out the majority isn’t silent. And it isn’t Reform.

A brave new Holyrood or business as usual? - Bylines Scotland As the Scottish Parliament election approaches, will it be more of the same or could we build a new type of politics?

Despite being continually accused of not integrating, Muslims have voted in numbers, and against a party with a Muslim Home Sec whose immigration policies and actions regarding Gaza they strongly opposed.Instead they found common value with a white British woman who spoke to them locally and beyond.

Labour needed Reform to win so that they could scream "this is what happens when you vote Green" to scare future voters.

But they failed despite dirty tricks.

They campaign on "We're slightly better than Reform" but must now shift to "We're much worse than Greens".

Fuck Labour.

Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about aΒ β€œGreen Menace” winning this by-election failed, reports Adam Bienkov

In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out.

Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton

Yes. And, for love of god, let’s understand that result properly. Not through a frothing rightwing media take. Not from a sulky, blamey Farage or Goodwin. But through more rational analysis: the majority of British voters are progressive. We have been ignored since 2016. We’re sick of it.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.
