The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Trump Genius? He Ranks Lowest Among Last 15 Presidents President Trump says he's "like, really smart," but he communicates at the lowest grade level of the last 15 presidents.

Ah, ha! All is now clear "Trump Speaks At Fourth-Grade Level, Lowest Of Last 15 U.S. Presidents, New Analysis Finds"

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

"Netanyahu has tried to get every US president since the late 90s to act against Iran - none of them did," says @lewisgoodall.com.

"But this time, Trump basically bends over backwards to do whatever Netanyahu wants."

"I suspect in Starmer's mind he thought, 'I'm not going along with that'."

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

“I tested the weird, tiny, low-cost electric car soon coming to the US”

That’s a £30 billion black hole in our economy, according to the IFS. And a ‘car crash’ for our care industry & the NHS. Just for starters. On the plus side, Bromsgrove currently has hundreds of union flags flying from lampposts.
