Needless to say, any serious attempt by Trump to use nuclear weapons against Iran should be grounds for the stiffest resistance from the US military, impeachment, and restraint.

I really admire the intellectual suppleness of British journalists. Their ability to hold in their heads simultaneously the propositions that:
A The US has a ceasefire with Iran.
B The US is blockading Iran's ports.
And think both can be true.
It's quite something.

Wes Streeting: "Trump has said some pretty bold.. incendiary, provocative, outrageous things on social media. I think we've all come to learn you judge Trump through what he does, not just what he says"
You mean like committing genocide? Which you support.
HELD IN A SHIT PRISON 👺Completely innocent. With a death penalty. STOP. YOUR. KILLINGS. FFS #LiveVegan you are not a killer ✌️
The idea that Iran, which is locked in an existential fight with the US and Israel, would waste its time insitigating or supporting arson attacks on civilian targets in London is ludicrous propaganda.
I like her and her politics but I'm not persuaded most sincerely held belief isnt in Zara Sultana. She's very young, though, so I may be doing her an injustice.
I don't care about the Westminster soap opera, but it's worth noting that if Starmer is forced to quit over the Mandelson debacle, it will be that which ends his career and not having armed and assisted a genocide.
Such are the gutter ethics of the British political class.
Parliament is a fraud.

Aljazeera headline: Thousands of bees swarm southern Israel.
Maybe there's something to the Bible, after all. #bbcpm
This just in: Iran war could lead to farmers running out of the carbon dioxide they use to suffocate the animals they love before they sell bits of their bodies.

In Parliament today MPs will be voting on a Bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests - this is something I absolutely oppose.
The right to protest is not a privilege, it is a fundamental freedom of democracy -
I love to see the affection and respect you're greeted with by so many people, George. And you've been a welcome guest in my living room for almost fifty years.
Now on #bbcpm Britain can't defend itself because we're spending too much money on a feckless underclass who need to get a job.
Coming up: Another chinless tech bro will be showing off the latest AI bot for cutting staffing costs.
How about: we're not spending enough on defence, not because of unemployed people, the sick and the disabled, but because our govt has spent decades transferring hundreds of billions from the public sector to wealthy individuals?

I'm already looking forward to the detailed analysis of US and Israeli propaganda on tomorrow evening's #bbcpm
Trump has made the US look utterly ineffectual.
´ . . this wave of mass arrests is not about terrorism. It’s about protecting a deeply unpopular foreign policy at the expense of our basic democratic rights. We are locking up our peace makers for the sake of the worst people on earth’

It’s not just on the spending side, either. There was never a better opportunity than 2024 to test — and, I think, disprove — the thesis that you can’t win an election if promising increases in direct taxation, even if it’s to pay for obvious and urgent priorities.
Careful now, lest thee be smited.
If Matt Goodwin is speaking in Budapest, 5pm today, he has kept v quiet about being there. He posted extensively about Hungary's 2018, 2022 election results, but nothing at all on 2026
Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to punish the Iranians for blocking the Strait of Hormuz could be a genius move.
But if it doesn't work Trump's next step should be to punish the Iranians further by enriching uranium for them.
Vatican City should sign a mutual defence pact with Iran.
The East Asia heat wave is just endless:
More weeks of deadly heat in SE Asia with up to 44C between Thailand and Myanmar.
In Cambodia 41.1C at Battabang is a new all time record.
Next week historic April heat wave in the Koreas:
Up To 30C all week !
30C also in Mongolia.
Crazy
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
