@GyllKing His story begs the most obvious qustion: "why would Iran nuke London?". USA & Israel are a much bigger immediate threat with economic warfare & political interference from USA & something very like State Capture from the latter.

Lord Robertson hasn’t been an elected politician for 27 years & 23 years ago NATO Sec Gec now has a national platform to tell us that Iran could nuke London so we must cut welfare & buy bombs. Biz interests inc The Cohen group which lobbies for defence, aerospace, IT, oil & gas.

@StarmertheFraud @merekatmart1 Just so.

It came to this because the faction that has captured the Labour Party under Starmer is utterly intolerant of dissent, debate, free speech and democracy. They run the state like they run the Party, as a blunt instrument to advance the interests of their mega-rich donors and the seething mass of mediocrities who are happily selling their political access to whichever corporation pays best.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

@TheBishF1 @Motor_Sport Good choice. Mansel was never a 'favoured son' like Senna & lacked Prost's political acumen. This meant he was never No1 in teams in the same way. Notwithstanding he was blindingly fast, determined & brave

Who were the 3 greatest #F1 drivers who raced in BOTH the ’80s AND the ’90s? I reckon the answer is Senna, Mansell & Prost. Almost exactly 40 years ago they finished 1st, 2nd & 3rd in a thrilling #SpanishGP. Click below to read my new @Motor_Sport column. motorsportmagazine.com/articles/singl…

Our most likely enemy (discounting USA & Israel) is Russia. Russia has failed to defeat Ukraine despite the latter having started with few modern weapons. The West has helped, but not decisively. Britain is much better armed & a long way away. NATO without USA is powerful.

@MichaelRosenYes @Jackiew80333500 Very scary. This vision of Greater Israel makes the so-called Iranian Threat look like a kid's tea party

A must-read. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This pretty much sums up the rationale for Israel's actions. If you are any kind of democrat, the vision of a theocratic fascist state like Greater Israel controlling oil supply & 'capturing' neighbouring states is terrifying.

@MouinRabbani With imperialism comes special knowledge, only available to those running the empire.

@novaramedia @toooldforit It's essentially State Capture by a shady multinational with links to various far right governments & causes. It is insanity yo give Thiel, Trump, Netanyahu & God knows who else the keys to our Kingdom...

NHS staff have been told they might lose their jobs if they criticise NHS England’s controversial £330m contract with IDF-contractor Palantir. According to the FT, an analytics officer who had raised concerns about Palantir’s Federal Data Platform (FDP) was told by a senior NHS official: “If you criticise the FDP one more time, you are going to lose your job.” “I know I am not the only one inside the NHS who has been warned off criticising the tool publicly,” the analytics officer added. In January 2024, Palantir announced a strategic partnership with the Israeli government to support “war-related missions”, meaning its tools are being used in a genocide. It also provides technology to immigration enforcement in the US, and founder Peter Thiel has provided financial backing to Donald Trump. Citing ethical concerns, the British Medical Association (BMA) has instructed union members not to adopt Palantir’s Federal Data Platform. In February, BMA chair Tom Dolphin told the British Medical Journal: “Given Palantir’s track record, including controversies in the US involving immigration enforcement and the risks to patient trust, data security, and NHS independence, we believe there must be a complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS and no further contracts awarded.” But staff told the FT that NHS organisations are under pressure to sign up voluntarily to the Palantir data system. Technicians working on alternative systems have been told to stop in their tracks. “When letters go out saying, ‘Sign this or we’ll call your chief executive’, that doesn’t build goodwill,” said an analytics official. “It creates compliance, not commitment.” Palantir boasts contracts across British public services, with its technology already embedded in the police and the military. Last month, two anonymous Ministry of Defence officials told journalists at the Nerve that Palantir’s deepening knowledge of the British state poses “a national security threat to the UK”. 123 out of 205 NHS hospital trusts have already adopted Palantir’s data system.

@AllisonPearson Are you really as ignorant & stupid as Trump appears to be? This drivel is aimed at his 'base' of impoverished poorly educated US citizens locked into declining living standards & prospects. He had convinced them he'd 'fix' it. He hasn't & 'drill, drill, drill' makes it worse.

Every word Trump says is true! Failure to exploit our North Sea fields while paying Norway billions for North Sea oil is national suicide. Huge betrayal of the British people by ideological nutters like Miliband. 👇💥

@IsraelMFA This nonsense doesn't hang together. Israel is not a 'victim' of demonisation, but totally responsible for how it is perceived. Israel has a policy of equating Jews to Israel in order to generate anti-jewish feelings which have resulted in some antisemitism.

The surge in antisemitism worldwide is not a coincidence - it is directly fueled by the relentless demonization of Israel. When Israel is singled out, dehumanized, and delegitimized, hatred toward Jews follows. Words have consequences and we are seeing them. i24news.tv/en/news/judais…

This is the world we're living in: 'Trump’s executive order sanctioning Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”. Her apartment in Washington, bought when she and her family were living in the US capital, has been seized. She can no longer use a credit card anywhere in the world, as almost all such transactions are processed by US-based services. “I go around with cash or I have to borrow from friends or from family members,” she says. 'She accuses pro-Israel activists based in Geneva of hounding her husband, Massimiliano Calì, a senior economist at the World Bank, in a campaign that led to him being removed from his lead position running its Syria file. “The World Bank was completely craven,” Albanese says. “He has stellar records of performance in all his positions.”' theguardian.com/law/2026/apr/1…

@BallouxFrancois @TVAddictStill Can you describe it as a 'cock-up' if it resulted from laziness, arrogance & a complete disregard for any standard of humanity? I think it was deliberate & USA has embraced Russian & Israeli tactics of total destruction of civilians lives & infrastructure.

@TVAddictStill I believe it was a cock-up, caused by incompetence, sloppiness and the recent relaxation of rules of engagement.

This article is utter tosh, whatever one's position on Trump, Pope Leo XIV, or the morality of the Iran war. Essentially every paragraph is nonsense. It reads like borderline satire at times. One example of the idiocy of the piece among others, I quote "... 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴", which is a truly insane thing to write, given that the first salvo of the war was literally a double-tap on a school that killed ~150 schoolgirls. It's puzzling this embarrassing piece passed an editor at the Times. thetimes.com/comment/column…
