Amazing how America destroys the rules-based international order everywhere it goes, even in football.

JUST IN: Trump says Belgium is 2 weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb.

“We did not provide support for offensive action by the US and Israel in Iran”, says foreign secretary @YvetteCooperMP.

In facts, for weeks her government allowed the US to use bases in Britain to build up its forces to bomb Iran.

Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.

He posts about it's launch on X.

One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This was Javier Bardem at the Spain vs. Austria game. The man never misses a chance to speak up for Palestine 🇵🇸

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift.

He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early.

The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Perfect headline. No notes.

I visited Tehran's Sharif University of Technology, where the US bombed its AI center this April

The attack caused $100 million in damage to data units, and was part of a broader assault on research centers

A physics prof told me the bombing aimed to shatter Iran's knowledge base and strip it of scientific independence

Full report soon

According to @FT, millions of Iranians have attended the funeral of Khamenei and his daughter and grandchildren. Could go as high as 15m.

The next time the US Govt claims we're starting a new bombing campaign and the people there want us to, maybe we can be more skeptical?

(That said, a majority of Americans opposed the Iran War from the start, and that opposition only grew as it went on).

I’m trying to imagine being 20 years old and being ordered to torture an elderly celebrated physician who’s being endlessly detained without charges. Most would refuse that order. It’s an indictment of Israeli society that they seem to have no problem finding people to do it.

[Tehran Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

You killed their leader, you dumb rodent.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Having spent five years visiting most of the Christian communities in the Middle East for my book From the Holy Mountain I am in a position to say with some authority that what you say is more or less the opposite of the truth. Christians in the West Bank, especially in Beit Sahour & Taybeh are currently under daily assault from violent Settlers- their situation is worse than anything in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon or Egypt. Are you unaware of this, in which case why are you presuming to speak for the beleaguered Palestinian Christians, or are you just deliberately spreading propaganda which you know to be untrue?

Accept no imitations.

To actually change our society for the better, we need to replace Labour.

Director of a Gaza Hospital, Dr Hussain Abu Safiya is in horrific danger to his life.

The Foreign Secretary must demand Israel provides urgent treatment and releases him.

He's been detained by Israel without charge since 2024 and reported to have new life threatening injuries.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Do you realize that the Zionist modus operandi, since the Nakba has been to control information?

Now these had 15M views. Just think a bit how things can fall apart.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

What you’ll be remembered for is being complicit in the genocide against the Palestinian people, and appointing Peter Mandelson to a top job despite knowing he was besties with a nonce.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Max Blumenthal is in Iran, covering the massive turnout of Iranians for the funeral of Ali Khamenei (and his daughter and granddaughters), and somehow has survived despite being an American Jew.

Almost impossible to imagine crowd sizes this large for a modern-day American leader:

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

“For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad”

This is the political equivalent of Flat Earth Theory

Yet you have to believe this state-ordained mythology to work in mainstream media

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

What the f*ck is he talking about? Harold Wilson won 3 majorities for Labour (one of them a landslide): in 1964, 1966, and October 1974. And he was a far better prime minister than Starmer!
