The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the white supremacists telling me I’m not British.

They just can’t bear that I am.

Rule Britannia, baby! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

None of those examples are even from this century.

Meanwhile, Israel and the US are attacking Iran *right now* and Israel bombed five Arab countries *last year alone*.

You really should remove the ‘history’ thing from your biog as you’re not very good at it.

Nigel Farage is complaining about foreign millionaires donating huge sums of money to far right populists who then use it online to spread hatred and division in our politics to affect the outcome of elections.

Paging alanis morissette ..

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

For those who don't know how this works, Reform are supported by the owner of X. All their accounts are centrally run and 1000s of bots are programmed to like their posts as soon as they go out. This is a form of election fraud no one is talking about yet. Rob's account is run from the US. Good local Makerfield boy.

It's all such a grift.

@RobertJenrick That’s one way of spinning the fact that immigration is 82% lower now than when Jenrick was immigration minister.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

@reformparty_uk Cat check: Nigel Farage unsuccessfully stood for Parliament in the following constituencies
Eastleigh, Hampshire
Salisbury, Wiltshire
Bexhill & Battle, East Sussex
South Thanet, Kent
Bromley and Chislehurst, London
Buckingham, Buckinghamshire
South Thanet, Kent (again)

Ben Habib to Paul Thorpe on donations to Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson from foreign based billionaire Christopher Harborne,

"Christopher Harborne had always told me that he wanted Brexit.. He donated £14,000,000 to the Brexit party"

"Then we discover this £5,000,000 payment that Farage took in 2024"

"In 2023, the same Christopher Harborne gave £1,000,000 to Boris Johnson"

"And he also paid Nigel Farage £1,000,000 in 2022"

"The 2019 General Election was sewn up between Nigel Farage, Christopher Harborne and Boris Johnson, and it was a monetary deal, that's how I see it"

[Mark Edwards @msedwards1970]

@JimCognito2016 Easy; they just want to incite more division, especially along racial lines, and distract from the real culprits of inequality (and cost of living issues), which are the Epstein class that they revere so much.

It will never not be remarkable that a popular Muslim social democrat has been leading the West’s greatest city for the past *decade*, re-elected twice.

I have complained about this to the BBC:

Dear BBC Complaints Team,

I am writing to complain about a segment on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) broadcast on 10 May 2026.

During the interview with Richard Tice (@TiceRichard) of Reform UK, Mr Tice stated that the Green Party is “the anti-Semitic Green party.”

This was a serious accusation.

My concerns:
-No right of reply
No Green Party representative was present to respond. The presenter did not mention that the Green Party had not been given an opportunity to reply.

-Failure to challenge
Laura Kuenssberg did not question, challenge, or provide any context/counterpoint to the claim. She simply moved on.

-Breach of due impartiality
BBC Editorial Guidelines require serious allegations in political contexts to be properly tested and for due weight to be given to opposing views. This did not occur.

The Green Party is led by Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski), who is Jewish. No context was provided to viewers.

I believe this fell short of the BBC’s standards on fairness and impartiality.

Please investigate and consider a clarification/correction.

Thank you. James
