How the actual fuck does the British government listen to this shit from Hegseth and think βsounds great, thatβs the team we want to be on!β?! Never again can they dare to pretend to be a progressive govt that gives a toss about law and human rights.

The amazing thing about the approach the Tories, Labour, Reform are taking is that this just allows them to continue to be ever more deluded. Until elections come and Muslims+the majority of Britons who are anti-war say βcool, GFY the lot of youβ and vote Green or Lib Dem. Bring it on.

Kemi Badenoch has accused Keir Starmer of not supporting the initial strikes in Iran for fear of upsetting Muslim voters βwhose political loyalties are swayed by conflicts in the Middle East, not the British national interest.β
Thatβs quite the claim, and pretty inflammatory.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

This is pretty grotesque from Badenoch. But also deeply politically weird: the Iran strikes are already unpopular and will become even more so. Why lock herself into a stance voters will hate?
As a bonus: the initial strikes are clearly illegal. Joining in defence to counterstrikes isn't.

Net migration in 2025 was about 160,000.
That headline 2025 net migration figure will come out in May: it will clearly be significantly below the 205k for the year to June 2025 (est range: 130-180k) as 2025 visa data is now published.
But the 2026 figure is likely to show negative net migration.

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
