'Night turned into day': Iranians tell of strikes on oil depots Fuel depots were hit in Tehran and Karaj overnight, with videos showing huge fires and plumes of smoke in multiple locations.

Bombing water supplies, killing children at school and choking ordinary people on burning oil is highly unlikely to make them cheer on the bombers and overthrow the government.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.

Dropsite reports β€œBlack rain” + β€œnuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran

- chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact

- the rain is corrosive + could damage structures

A large digital board on the Outernet building displays a message: β€œMayor of London. CHAMPION WOMEN. RESPECT WOMEN. BELIEVE WOMEN. Stand with women, today and every day.” The building features a tall vertical gold-toned architectural facade and people are walking and cycling along the busy London street underneath it.

Italy v England

It was odd to say the least

I’ll support any home nation inc Ireland in these type of tournaments and am only vaguely partisan when Scotland play one of the other home teams

Didn’t she famously sign a MOU that saw us import a couple more tins of sweetcorn and export a couple more bottles of HP Sauce?

Penny Mordaunt railing away about the state of UK armed forces without a hint of apology. She was a minister for most of the 14 years of Tory rule which witnessed the strangling of the UK's military capacity. And she was even defence secretary for 5 mins. #bbclaurak

Fox News admits to airing an old dignified transfer video on its program this morning, one that did not show Donald Trump wearing a white ball cap.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

In my work as Mayor of London and in my life, I’m surrounded by women who make our city and our world better every day.

To the women leading, creating, caring and keeping our city thriving: thank you.

Happy International Women’s Day.

I’m a great admirer of @rachelsylvester.bsky.social s investigative work too. She, alongside colleagues have done incredible work on health / social care, prisons etc. Not just identifying challenges but proposing solutions.

Britain’s war hawks are very upset that Keir Starmer isn’t personally riding a bomb all the way to Tehran | Marina Hyde Didn’t you know? True British patriots are the ones who want to join an obviously disastrous war on behalf of Israel and Donald Trump, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Love the honesty in this from Marina Hyde about Trump’s war, it’s so refreshing to have an honest opinion compared to the right wing newspapers who are continually slating Starmer for not jumping to Trump’s demands!
