More Democrats would do well to adopt Sarah McBrideism

If you want to consider climate rather than weather, then we should not cherry pick outlier data, we should consider average tempteratures over a year. And from that we see a clear upward trend, with 8 out of the last 10 years above the 1976 average. Data from the Met office.

Anyone who says "summers have always been like this" is lying. Night time averages are up. Day time averages are up. Highest temperatures are up. Lowest temperatures are up. Heatwaves are higher and cover more area. The deniers are liars.

⁠Ahmadinejad, SERIOUSLY? The Holocaust denier? The wipe Israel off the map guy? The Green Revolution death and torture guy who stole the 2009 elections? The nuclear program accelerator guy? The Islamic fundamentalist end-days guy?

🟣 MAKERFIELD: it's also interesting that Searchlight asked Farage & Tice almost TWO YEARS AGO why Robert Kenyon was a Facebook friend of fascist leader Gary Raikes. This is Kenyon's third time as a candidate. Is Reform's vetting of candidates non-existent, or don't they care?

Rather shocked to find out that when the war with Iran is won next week that prices won't be going down 500%...

Hat off to you @AndyBurnhamGM

תסתכלו על הגילאים בסרטון הזה ועל הבעות הפנים המלאות בשנאה. באמת שלא מבינה את זה. יום ירושלים אמור להיות יום חג איך זה הפך להיות יום של שנאה? ילדים שרים שישרף לכם הכפר, פוגעים בחנויות של ערבים סתם ככה. על מה ולמה? מי חינך אותם? נראה שהם באים רק בשביל זה.

Could Reform beat Labour in Makerfield? 💯.

“You think you’ll be able to catch me out? I’ve run rings around protestors and judges, mate. “You’d never be able to catch me out” @lewis_goodall gets barred from cafe after an interview with controversial Birmingham campaigner, Akhmed Yakoob, descends into chaos.

Let's assume the 'marches' are banned. Where would this leave anyone wanting to protest about what's going on in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria?

The Myth of the “Imminent Iranian Bomb” The most persistent justification for the current campaign against Iran is also the most misleading: the claim that Iran was on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon and had to be stopped. This narrative collapses under scrutiny. For years, U.S. and allied intelligence assessments have been consistent on one key point: Iran’s nuclear program, while advanced, is not equivalent to an active decision to build a bomb. The critical threshold has always been political, not technical. Tehran would first have to make a deliberate choice to weaponize, a decision that, by all credible accounts, had not been made prior to the conflict. Yet this distinction has been blurred, if not erased, in public discourse. The hypothetical, “Iran could have built a bomb”, has been repackaged as an imminent threat. It is a subtle but consequential shift, one that transforms uncertainty into urgency and speculation into justification. More troubling is what this framing obscures. The nuclear issue was never the sole, or even primary, driver of the campaign. It functioned as a convenient rationale for a broader strategic objective: reshaping the Iranian regime itself. By centering the narrative on nuclear urgency, policymakers have sidestepped a more honest debate about aims, risks, and long-term consequences. And those consequences are already coming into view. If the goal was to eliminate Iran’s nuclear potential, the evidence so far suggests the opposite outcome. This war has underscored a hard truth: there is no clean military solution to the Iranian nuclear challenge. Airstrikes and coercion can delay, disrupt, and degrade — but they cannot erase knowledge, dismantle intent, or resolve the underlying strategic calculus. In fact, they may accelerate it. By raising the perceived threat to the regime, the conflict increases the incentive for Tehran to reconsider its nuclear posture. What was once a conditional and deferred decision meaning “if we choose to”, may become a more urgent strategic imperative. In trying to prevent a nuclear Iran through force, we may be creating the conditions that make it more likely. This is the paradox at the heart of the current approach: the nuclear threat has been inflated to justify the war, and the war itself may ensure that the threat becomes real. Absent a credible diplomatic framework, this cycle will only deepen. The question is no longer whether Iran could pursue a bomb. It is whether our own actions are pushing it closer to deciding that it should. #iran

We spoke to Jews on the Palestine march in London Not all Jews support Genocide, to say otherwise is textbook antisemitism:

The story is actually quite simple.The fundamental problem began with the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) without a coherent alternative strategy. That decision reinforced Supreme Leader Khamenei’s long-standing suspicions about the agreement and about negotiating with the United States more broadly. Once President Trump chose to exit the deal, the chances of returning to it became extremely slim. Trump himself encountered this reality when efforts to reopen diplomacy, such as the attempt to engage Foreign Minister Javad Zarif at the White House, failed to gain traction. The consequences are clear and measurable. Iran’s large stockpile of enriched uranium, its deployment of advanced centrifuges, the technical knowledge it has accumulated, and its increasing proximity to nuclear threshold status are all direct outcomes of the U.S. withdrawal. That decision effectively eliminated the possibility of returning to a diplomatic track on terms more favorable than those achieved under the original agreement. Everything else is secondary. #iran

In the UK which of the following groupings would you feel most comfortable voting for?

What is a bigger problem 🔴 Right wing violence - 34% 🔵 Left wing violence - 32% YouGov - A - 4/26

Who would you rather have as UK Prime Minister?

I’m detecting more and more unease in the US and Europe about Pres Trump’s bewildering conduct in the war with Iran. ‘He doesn’t seem to have any idea how to get out of the trap Iran has set for him,’ says one US ex-diplomat.
