Keir Starmer thinks a retweet should disqualify someone from leading a political party, but that appointing the best ‘pal’ of the world’s most notorious paedophile, as Ambassador to Washington, shouldn’t.
Be serious!
And why is the US military still able to use UK bases?
Why is Palantir - a US spy tech company - so embedded into our vital infrastructure?
And why do we have a Labour Govenrment who absolutely cower at the idea of speaking out against the criminal President?
If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labour’s silence will be absolutely damning.
If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, it’s still damning.
In the face of genocide, what exactly is the point of the silent UK Prime Minister?
People who supported the murder of 15 Palestinian paramedics are now mourning “Jewish ambulances.” It’s wild that a certain group’s ambulance is considered more worthy of attention than 15 executed humans.
💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities
▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities.
▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation.
▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.
▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures.
