Just trying to make sense of it all. So much needs fixing and leaving the EU doesn't help any of it.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

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.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

Reform have now suspended SIX councillors who were elected just five days ago

[Sam @SamCKx]

Nigel Farage has committed prosecutable election offences with this video under the Representation of the People Act 1983.

The Act prohibits inducing voters through the threat of “temporal injury”, which includes material disadvantage such as the targeted imposition of government burdens.

Threatening to specifically house illegal migrants in a constituency if it does not vote Reform is coercive and constitutes a criminal offence.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

What Trump promised: "I'll end Russia's war in Ukraine in 24 hours if you elect me."

What Trump did: "I tried to force Ukraine to capitulate and give Russia everything they want.

When that didn't work I ended all financial support to Ukraine, lifted sanctions of Russia, rolled out the red carpet for Putin, and doubled oil prices so Russia can have more money to continue the war."

[Brendan May @bmay]

Utter charlatan. I can see why he appealed to Jenrick, whose convictions last for less time than an episode of newsround.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

Hey Republicans;
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing.

He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing.

He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing.
He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing.
He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing.

His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing.
He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing.
He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing.

You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them.
And it’s only been a year.
Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember?
Not to him. To the Constitution.

It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro. Dozens more were injured.

​The military assistance you are so proud of stopping was used to save lives in a war Russia started and continues every day by choice, in a war that only became possible after USA pressured Ukraine into disarming...

​I do not know if Vance can fully comprehend the scale of the tragedy unfolding here: a brutal, illegal war of extermination by Russia, and the slow abandonment by our allies. There is nothing to be proud of. Absolutely nothing.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

I blame his voters for this. I blame every Republican elected official. I blame his media sycophants. I blame every media outlet, university president, private company CEO, and world leader who bent the knee to him. They’re all to blame for this. They ALL taught him to believe he can do whatever he wants. They ALL taught him to believe he should be worshipped.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

WHY?

Why is it that if Russia did this there would be worldwide rallying, condemnation, sanctions

But when it’s Israel….

SILENCE.

WHY?????

That takes a special kind of wanker

Do you want Palantir out of the NHS?

[Reform UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Yeah, @Nigel_Farage wouldn’t want this video to be shared over and over of him lavishing poodle-like praise on Donald Trump.

He’s trying to disassociate from him, so every time it’s shared it ruins that.

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.

The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:

“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”

He was talking about Russia.

The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.

David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.

The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.

The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.

That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.

Never stop connecting the dots.

If only millionaire Reform MPs expended as much energy in pushing for a fairer redistribution of money as they do for the redesign of it
