I swear. Julie K Brown of the Miami Herald has done more to uncover the truth in the Epstein files than any federal or state agent.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

Remember guys, you canβt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatβs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

It's a puzzle. Every top military officer has a team of lawyers on hand to advise on military law, international law and constitutional law.
Why hasn't at least one US general or admiral broken ranks on this illegal and unconstitutional conflict?
And why hasn't the press asked the question?

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.
The Tories and Reform UK voted against.
Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.
Great quotes in military history.

note that it's the right-wing parties, who have complained that UK should have joined US strikes on Iran, who are now also demanding the Labour government steps up household help with energy bills

Supporting the Iran war means supporting all the above, says James O'Brien.

The blame game starts, it will be epic.
Launching a war you cannot win based soley on what Jared Kushner told you is total incompetence. #cdnpoli

It's quite possible that you're not an idiot, Sue.
But I wouldn't bet on it.
Maybe, but that's not the point. The Grenfell disaster happened in 2017 and all buildings with the K15 cladding should have the cladding changed. SNP ministers know the dangerous cladding is on the QEUH and have decided not to replace it.

Nice to see Reeves has confirmed the April energy price cap reduction will still go ahead even with global energy markets becoming more volatile because of Trump's illegal Iran war, our government has chosen to protect us rather than the energy companies.

Nope. Not true, Sue.
The SNP were in power through all design and build 2008 - 2015. In any case SNP ministers know the cladding is faulty and fire-prone and have decided to do nothing about it.
Criminal IMO. They should be charged with criminal negligence.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
