The Iranian regime is the oppressor of its people. It should be destroyed. But Trump and Netenyahu couldn't give a single solitary fuck about the people of Iran. They're children running around the streets with grenades, high on sugar.

Really looking forward to the green grass after America bombs democracy into Iran as it’s a fool proof plan that’s worked flawlessly elsewhere.

Obama stopped Iranian nuclear development (or seriously slowed it) with an agreement. Trump tore up the deal in 2018 and has made the world more dangerous every moment he has been president since then.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Think about it: The reality is that Netanyahu attacked Iran to derail the US led nuclear deal negotiations. He did what he did to undermine US policy and interests. Not an ally. And Trump is such a cuck he is covering for it because he doesn’t want to appear weak or out of the loop.

So who was it that cancelled the nuclear deal with Iran?
President Trump warned that a "massive war" could break out in the Middle East over Iran's nuclear program, after the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Iran wasn't complying with its nonproliferation duties.
Trump warns a strike on Iran 'could very well happen' if no nuclear deal is signed

Exactly. Focus on making people’s lives better, not blaming immigrants for everything.
Reversing winter fuel would have bought 35% of disillusioned Labour voters back. Instead they went for the 18% who cited immigration. Meanwhile haemorrhaging support to the Lib Dems and Green. It’s hard not to draw the conclusion they’re just ideologically xenophobic.

Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue.
Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n

I am so disgusted with Starmer’s speech today on immigration and glad I haven’t voted Labour for many years. It’s awful to see him pander to Reform and spread their lies about immigration in this country.

Parliament, not the Supreme Court should have decided today. I've written about why that's so problematic and why I fear today's judgment will be used to further delegitimise trans people, even though that is not what the Court intends.

On the assisted dying bill, am actually shocked 11 Lib Dem MPs voted against. As a liberal myself it seems an absolute no brainer to back it, subject to very strict guidelines and criteria ofc.

Worth saying - whatever you think of the legislation and the principle - that courts have been clear time and again that they do not consider right to die to be a human right and that it is a matter for national parliaments to legislate on.
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick on the assisted dying bill:
“This Act, if passed, will be subject to activist judges in Strasbourg [the ECtHR] — they will change it fundamentally and we have to be prepared for that.”
