Remember, these regime-changers *do not* care about democracy. This is pure PR narrative. The US gladly coups democratically elected leaders (Mosaddegh, Lumumba, Allende, etc), and gladly props up actual autocracies (Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, etc) if it serves their interests.

Never knew we would run Belfast, but if that's the case, pints will be £4 and we want more trees and bees.

Flag of Palestine raised above city hall shortly after midnight tonight.
A small group of loyalists shouted shame from the cobbles in front of the building while people celebrating cheered from across the road and honked horns.

Could there be a better metaphor for the Palestinian struggle than the flag being raised on Belfast City Hall in the dark, surrounded by enemies and racists screaming at it from the street, two days late after a minority of bigots tried to prevent it being raised at all. Free Palestine. Fuck Israel.

Just another example of how the UK government would rather strip away rights, which will overwhelmingly be felt by their political opponents, and reduce public services which is felt by everyone, than have their wealthy mates feel so much as a tiny pinch on their pockets.

Far-right appeasement only ever benefits fascists.
The Overton window is now firmly in far-right territory under Starmer and Mahmood. No far-right election wins needed, no winning of arguments, just a weak and unprincipled Labour Party, PM and Home Secretary.

I think we're going to see a concerted effort by the DUP to constantly ramp up animosity as they further tie themselves to the far right over the coming months and this is going to seem like an irrelevance in comparison to some of it.
DUP Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly has turned down an invitation to attend Catherine Connolly’s inauguration as Irish president.
It will be the first time since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement that a serving first or deputy first minister has not attended.
