NI Sorcha Eastwood has tore into Starmer’s double standards once again:
“Peter Mandelson wouldn't have survived the vetting for a kids football club and rightly so. And yet we are expected to believe from those benches that it's nothing to see here.”
She didn’t hold back! 🔥
This is why I do what I do- I believe in fair play, getting on in life and that everyone should have a good life. But the elites are laughing at us- raking in the cash, chums getting plum jobs while my constituents can't pay their bills. I don't act from ideology- I act for what's best for people. My message has struck a chord because no matter your political opinion, we all agree that our lives are not getting better whilst the elites are thriving. Something has to change. I think it's worth building consensus on that so that all of our people have better lives and that power is held to account. No more elites shafting the little guy and rubbing our face in it!
I had to share this. If you haven’t seen this lady in action - you soon will !!! What a legend!!! THIS is the passion and honesty we desperately need in British Politics!! @SorchaEastwood 🇬🇧 I solute you Sorcha !
My parents left everything behind so I could stand here and say exactly what I think.
Welcome to my new followers. As an Iranian American journalist and foreign policy analyst covering Iran for more than 20 years, I am deeply invested in this moment in history.
Glad to have you here.
پدر و مادرم همه چیز را پشت سر گذاشتند تا من بتوانم اینجا بایستم و دقیقاً آنچه را که فکر میکنم بگویم.
به دنبالکنندگان جدیدم خوش آمدید. من به عنوان روزنامهنگار و تحلیلگر سیاست خارجی که بیش از 20 سال است ایران را پوشش میدهم، عمیقاً در این برهه از تاریخ غرق شدهام. خوشحالم که شما اینجا هستید.
🚨WATCH: In a jaw-dropping statement, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi announced his acceptance of a POPULAR MANDATE to lead a TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT post-Islamic Republic. He has also urged Arab partners in the region to RECOGNISE the transitional government of the Iranian people.
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi tells Iran’s Arab neighbours that they will be able to live in peace once the regime falls.
“The fall of the terrorist regime will open a historic window toward peace and prosperity. No more nuclear blackmail
No more terrorism and support for militias, And no more interference in the affairs of neighbors.
Free Iran will return as a true partner, as it once was.”
Iran is not the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s civilian infrastructure belongs to the Iranian people and to the future of a free Iran. The Islamic Republic’s infrastructure is the machinery of repression and terror used to keep that future from becoming reality.
Iran must be protected. The regime must be dismantled.
I ask President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu to continue targeting the regime and its apparatus of repression, while sparing the civilian infrastructure Iranians will need to rebuild our country.
With the support of the US and Israel, and above all the sacrifice of Iranian patriots, the hour of Iran’s freedom is at hand.
Long live Iran!
The Islamic regime in Iran has confirmed the death sentence of 18-year-old Melika Azizi.
Melika was arrested in January 2026 during nationwide protests for setting fire to regime symbols and was charged with “moharebeh” (waging war against God).
In court, Melika told the judge: “You are letting so many young people bleed. How can I stay silent? I don’t care. Just kill me.”
Please, be her voice.
It could save her life.
The Paradox of Survival in Iran.
A friend in Iran, reaching me through a rare satellite connection:
“My children are afraid of the bombs. And I am afraid for their future if this regime survives.”

The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world.
So, to all liberal Western women:
Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.
