"You recognise.. if a school was targeted that would constitute a breach of intl law?"

David Lammy: "This is a febrile war zone"

"That doesn't excuse hitting schools.."

"... its for the Americans to comment on what's happened there"

So you've never commented on Russian war crimes, right?

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

"Alvi Choudary has been wrongly identified because of the use of retrospective facial recognition technology. There are concerns that the technology has a bias.. is this technology safe & will you continue its use?"

Lammy "My assessment is its safe in the vast majority of cases"

"Its reported that cabinet was divided about allowing the US to use our bases. Is that right"

David Lammy: "I don't recognise those reports"

Politicians employ 'I don't recognise' when the only alternative is lying.

Israel is demanding that everyone leave South Beirut, so they can level it like they did to Gaza.

Beirut is 536km from Israel.

Israel should not be there.

No, labour voters and the majority of their recent losses disagree with these policies and don't like the rhetoric either.

Just to be clear the correct response is to tell Donald Trump to fuck off like Spain did.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting an exchange between Nancy Mace and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during a hearing. Walz responds that he is the governor of Minnesota and not there to serve as a prop for her obsession. Below is a video still showing Walz seated at a hearing table with a nameplate reading β€œGovernor Walz.”

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

"What is your thought as to how long this will go on for..."

David Lammy: "The war aims are for the Americans & Israelis who begun this offensive action that we of course are not part of. Our response is defensive action.."

You're letting the US use UK bases to bomb Iran.

Absolutely.

Time to get US bases off UK soil.

This is how it begins. Soon women will have to fork out money routinely to prove to rich men that they are female enough.

Women far from being equal to men they will be subjugated and strictly controlled.

This war on Iran is a case study in an administration that believes it has the means - and therefore the moral authority - to do whatever it wants.

It could have assembled a case, enlisted allies, stuck to a script.

But it can't be bothered, because it feels that to all be unnecessary.

Andrew Tate has seemingly been taken into custody by Saudi Police for going all "Top G" on the Saudi border.

Hope he packed a spare mankini because they're not exactly famed for their liberal approach to that sort of thing.

Imagine if Iran had sunk a US Ship in open water not causing any threat, how would it be portrayed?

Terrorism

Now think the terrorist regime of Iran has less than 1/10th the number of people in prison as the US does.

US is only not a terrorist because you aren't told they are
