✍️ Write to the Board of Ofwat now. Urge them to reject the creditors
The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby.
They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people.
In your name.
Tonight on BBC Newsnight - these women share the horror of the sexual abuse Jeffrey Epstein subjected them to and the hugely damaging effect it’s had on every aspect of their lives
The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…
"Iran is negotiating an end to the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz by allowing countries to pass if they shift from US Dollar to Chinese Yuan for oil trades."
It'll cost the US $3 trillion a year; weaken the Dollar, trigger hyperinflation then recession and depression.
Grim.
Well, at first, I thought exactly the same but then I saw this. It's not as simple as it seems and it could be said that given the shit Trump has left us all in Starmer and the other countries have played this as well as they could.

Screenshot of tweet by Kate Ferguson, Political Editor of the Sun on Sunday: EXCL: Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone with texts to Peter Mandelson was stolen. These messages may be lost forever - meaning there there will be gaps in The Mandelson files published by No10. Phone was nicked and reported to police last year.
Unlucky
Good morning!

That's some iceberg.
Israel’s barbarous, homicidal actions far surpass that of Iran, or for that matter, any other nation on the planet. Yet when resistance rises to confront Israel’s campaign of mass murder and terror, the resistance is labeled as terrorism.

Distance from Iran to the US/UK base
Iran says it was not responsible for the missile attacks on Diego Garcia and denied any involvement. If it wasn't Iran, then who was it?
China, Israel, Russia, or the US trying to lure the UK into the war?
If (as Andrew Neil says) GB News has become Reform TV then maybe there’s a case for the @ElectoralCommUK to start taking an interest app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...
Five-time draft dodger says what now?
Pay attention to Lebanon.
Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster.
And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids.
Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

Why is it all about "Iran kills americans" ???
Iran didn't attack America. Iran didn't start a war. Iran didn't suddenly decide to "kill americans".
Iran was ATTACKED by the US and the ISRAELI.
No 'americans' were getting killed before Iran was attacked TWICE by USRAEL.
Just saying.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
Nigel Farage criticised for calling Welsh people 'foreign speakers'
What an absolute disgrace of a man.
The language in Wales is Welsh but they are still British!
Imagine calling Cornish people foreigners because they speak Cornish.
This man can never get anywhere near a governmental power!

This would be a war crime. Obviously. Collective punishment.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

🍿 MTG still making sense. This past year really has felt like we’re living in the upside down.
Always the first to flee while everyone else suffers the consequences.
Update: The total number of little girls killed at an elementary school in Minab, Iran, by the US and Israel has risen to 51.
The entire community is devastated, families destroyed.
Jeremy Bowen: "The word preemptive has been used. Now that's a word that suggests there was an imminent threat, that is an imminent attack before these strikes started. There's no evidence of that. It looks very much as if this is a war of choice that Israel and the US have done"
