The issue for Iran is that the Israelis will just be bombing them nonstop even if the US just stops in exchange for some return to status quo ante.

Three weeks in, Iran war escalates beyond Trump's control The lack of a clear exit strategy carries risks for Trump's legacy and his party's political prospects.

"The limits of Trump's power — diplomatically, militarily and politically — were thrown into sharp relief.

"He was caught off-guard by the resistance of NATO members to deploying their navies ​to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, according to a White House official"

Reform accused of using third party to turn crypto into c... Digital currency donations have been turned into sterling to make them much less easy to track, sources say

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money.

So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

UK facing £28bn defence spending gap claims The MoD believes it requires an extra £28bn over the next four years, according to reports.

No cuts to public services to bail out the MoD! The government can find the £28 billion by scrapping the replacement of Trident, which doesn't keep us safe, is behind schedule, over budget and dependent on the US for both its missiles and targeting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sunder is very polite. The Home Secretary is repeatedly telling falsehoods.

This is utter garbage. I believe in net zero. We need to get there. But renewables are not competitive. That's why they are subsidised. Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive. It shouldn't be hard to hold these two thoughts at the same time.

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK.

While the article had attributed the claim to “an analysis” of government figures, the Committee considered that the newspaper had not taken due care over the accuracy of the headline, which set out as fact that “More than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits”. This did not make clear that the assertion was an estimate, and was presented without qualification. The print headline, as well as the online headline and its subheadline, did not accurately reflect warnings on reliability of the data, and presented the figures as fact, rather than an interpretation of the statistics by a third party. The Committee also considered that care had not been taken over the accuracy of the article, which did not make clear that it was not reporting on people’s nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, but their nationality at the time they first applied for a National Insurance number, which may have been significantly earlier. Absent this clarificatory information, the article was misleading to attribute the number of foreign nationals currently claiming benefits in the UK to this specific dataset.

The Telegraph (and the so-called "Centre for Migration Control, in fact just one random racist blogger) lied, and then doubled down on their lies.
