'The temptation behind war is that it is the ultimate arbiter, a way of getting a desired outcome without the need for messy compromises. In the end, most wars demonstrate the limits of military power, especially when unsupported by a realistic political strategy'

BRITISH PEOPLE.

Reform are telling you what to be outraged by.

And you are then outraged by it.

If you are so upset that churches are being converted into mosques.

There’s a solution.

Go to fucking church.

At least 112 killed in Israel’s devastating attacks across Lebanon today Israel carries out 100 strikes across Lebanon in 10 minutes, health minister says hospitals overwhelmed with victims.

And, it's not even really about young *progressives". There are generations (younger than the Times journalists to whom Labour looks for tone setting) for whom transness is just not a conflicted thing, whatever their politics. Labour is properly poisoning the political well with those generations.

Green win shows progressive voters are now voting against Labour as well as Reform Gorton and Denton byelection shatters Labour strategy of neglecting its core base while focusing on Reform defectors

True story.

The U.S. and Britain already overthrew the Iran government in 1953.

We placed a dictator in charge.

The U.S. and Britain got 40% of their oil fields.

“I feel like I’m grieving my mother” Damaris Bello's mother attended a green card interview—and was deported less than 24 hours later.

On Tuesday, 22-year-old Damaris Bello had to listen to now-former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dodge the question of why DHS deported dozens of DACA recipients like her mother, Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez.
