The US has circulated its version of the Memo of Understanding with Iran to G7 leaders in France. It’s as bad if not worse than expected.
— The moment it’s signed (Friday) sanctions on the export of Iran oil are lifted. So the regime can start replenishing its coffers immediately.
— The US commits to doing nothing to undermine or destabilise the Iranian regime (it started the war to remove it).
— The US specifically commits to ending its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz but Iran does not commit specifically to returning the Strait to toll/fee free transit exactly as before the war, with no Iranian control/regulation whatsoever .
— All sanctions against Iran will be dropped should phase two negotiations go well. And America will withdraw its forces from the region.
— The US ‘undertakes’ to work with Iran and Gulf allies to create a $300 billion reconstruction package for Iran. So America will now become a partner with the tyrants of Tehran, who Trump only recently wanted to overthrow, in rebuilding their economy.
— All matters related to Iran’s nuclear capabilities are kicked into the ‘final agreement’ in 60 days time (or longer if necessary).
— No mention of Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities or its financing of terrorist proxies.
And that’s just about it. When Trump insisted the war would only end with ‘unconditional surrender’ it never crossed my mind he meant his own.

If it feels mean, maybe that’s because it is mean. You evil witch

County lines are PHONE LINES, not border demarcations. You can’t traffic people over them. The Rape Gang Inquiry Report is junk.

@Donna_Rachel_ @JoshFerme Stop laughing at mass rape gangs Donna they are not a polemic
English
@JoshFerme Really? Who’s the lawyer? Do they understand the link between grooming gangs and organised crime? If so, why did you edit it out?
What’s disgusting is you using survivors testimonies to create a political polemic.

Starmer is only unpopular because our right wing media and Russian influence has persuaded the masses so. Anyone with half a brain knows he is the best PM for many years and has already delivered on many of Labours manifesto pledges.
Jim Robbins@jimrobbins
Seems bizarre to me that the press aren’t going bigger on the fact that Russia targeted Keir Starmer’s house and car. We are currently about to start a Leadership contest as Starmer is seen as unpopular, but no-one is discussing the clear Russian interference on social media.

Gurpreet Digwa's lies caused Henry Nowak to bleed to death from the stabwounds inflicted by his brother, Vickrum.
Rather than call an ambulance, he told the police that Vickrum was the victim, prejudicing attending officers to ignore Henry's pleas for help.
He is as guilty of Henry's murder as his brother. He should be charged, convicted, and given the same sentence.

@ThatAntffs Do you want white people rioting like a certain section of non-white people?
English
Right, where are we rioting?
Oh wait, he's white and English, he can do what he pleases

@RoyalCardinal @JayDarkmoore There’s a difference in getting banned by the state from accessing most of the internet unless you provide ID and verifying ID with a private company you choose to do so with
English
I don’t see the problem with why stopping under 16’s using social media is a bad thing.
Can someone please tell me what the counter argument is? Why are people upset / concerned?

BREAKING British PM announces ban on social media for under-16s
English
@EvilBernard_ @JayDarkmoore The govt will be mandating ID checks by tech companies, who will record your ID against your IP address and against your device address. They’ll basically use it as a unique key to identify all your internet activity
English
@JesusClapsBack @JayDarkmoore You'd be providing your ID to the social media site that you are accessing. As you have already done.
And that hasn't even been confirmed.
English
Is this new social media ban for nippers really just a way to mandate digital ID?
English
@BrexistentialC @candescent_eve @JayDarkmoore Wouldn’t it be better to have devices only kids can use e.g. old Nokia phones with text and phone calls only, instead of the govt mass ID’ing everyone to go on the internet?
English
@JesusClapsBack @candescent_eve @JayDarkmoore You can but you can also control for it better. You can avoid physical spaces more easily than the handful of social media platforms that exist. You can get real world face to face advice about real world physical situations. The toxicity of phones is their isolating force.
English
@EvilBernard_ @JayDarkmoore Allowing the government to check everyone’s ID to use the internet is very different to an adult voluntarily disclosing their ID to a private company.
English
@JesusClapsBack @JayDarkmoore You pay for this site. You gave a trillionaire your person info. Muppet.
English
@BrexistentialC @candescent_eve @JayDarkmoore It’s not really, you can be exposed to drugs, rape, murder, nudity, addiction in public. You can be exposed to less harmful matter online. If you’re requiring ID for everyone to prevent access to harm for children online then you may as well accept it in public life
English
@JesusClapsBack @candescent_eve @JayDarkmoore A totally silly comparison. The nature of the interaction; the force of affect; the range of risk; the duration of exposure. None of it bears comparison.
English
@AdrianDittmann If you accept ID verification for internet access, you may as well require ID to enter a public park. Both involve people participating in public spaces. The same “protect the children” argument could be applied to either. Meanwhile, the same Govt ignores mass rape gangs
English
This style of speech is called affective framing btw.
It’s what politicians use to sell you on the implementation of a piece of legislation you might take issue with, and it’s executed in 3 steps:
Emotional Priming
Cognitive Hijacking
Value Alignment
His speech uses all three.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
