Let’s hope the Chiefs of Staff are telling Starmer in no uncertain terms that a war against Iran is utterly untenable. Or am I being naive to think they won’t be biting at the bit? Deja vu is hitting hard right now.

Will you feel better off by the time of the 2029 GE? Starmer's economically outdated, neoliberal Labour government cannot deliver that. It's time for change. #BackZack

Well I filled my tank over the weekend in response to the Israeli bombing of Iran. Yes, I’m expecting the prices to go up. This seems like a good time to mention that Shell literally paid NEGATIVE tax in the UK last year – receiving £12.4 million from the government. They’re taking the piss

As party of the governments managed decline of the UK. Do we think they will have as closing down sale? 🤔 I ask because they haven’t even done the obvious measures to improve inequity like equalising capital gains tax. Also they’re continuing enterprise zones give away.

Boiling with rage hearing on the radio that Labour is welcoming in Refugee Week with the announcement that instead of asylum hotels they’ll be expanding the Disastrous Dehumanising & MORE EXPENSIVE “Mass” accommodation sites at places like ex-army bases. There are not enough facepalms.

As a city planner of 25 years, I know instinctively that the way we build our communities, the kind of infrastructure we deploy, will in large measure determine how we face—and whether we win or lose—the battle against climate change".

Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming.

Behind the scenes there’s a lot of disquiet over the Starmer government’s support for Israel - and so there should be. That it should be supporting the worst genocide since the Holocaust is INDEFENSIBLE. Starmer, Lammy and Healey should resign.

The transmutation of ULEZ from green fascism which inspired a big opportunistic shift in Tory environment policy to a successful scrappage scheme which improved London’s air is now complete. See also Starmer shifting with the wind as per, in this case we’ll within a year.

Do you know why Iran thinks we, the U.S. did this? It is because we, the U.S. DID THIS. Our bombs. Our fighter jets. Our tax dollars. Our veto of UN sanctions, pressure for normalization with Gulf & Arab states, our refusal to execute ICJ rulings, our MONEY our BOMB our MUNITIONS

Everyone should write to their MP saying: Israel’s attack on Iran is insane. It is also being used to distract from Gaza, where internet has been cut, and the West Bank, where settlements are aggressively expanding. The UK government MUST recognise the State of Palestine now. Does your MP agree?

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up exactly how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Starmer: Weather wane rather than signpost. The problem when not governing according to own principles and surrounded by bad advisers and doesn't learn from mistakes. Helping Israel further will be the nail in the coffin.

It's been brilliant to keep speaking to so many broadcasters - getting our message out everywhere! But just like our campaigning, we need to really connect with new & different communities. That’s why I'm really enjoying speaking to Streamers too! 🎥👇🏼 youtu.be/zU33LoWq1Y0?...

A question for Americans on here. I’ve seen a lot of ppl talking of solidarity and peaceful resistance to Trumps regime. All of which is great. But I’d be interested to hear what ppl think would actually back down and what that would look like? Thanks in advance #trump
