@25Worlder @EndWokeness Funding was directed through US NGOs such as IRI and NDI. It was aimed at strengthening political party organizations to make them more capable of winning elections.

@KeejayOV3 Utterly bizarre.

@PolitlcsUK things may look more serious.

@PolitlcsUK while negotiations were ongoing, will cause fertiliser shortages which will cause hunger in parts of the Global South. if you are a political commentator in the West, your critique of Trump might be "he is uncouth and has an abrasive manner. If you are in the Global South,

@JohnCrookes7 Sure, that's definitely what is happening.

[Robert Pee @RobertPee2]

@7Veritas4 This is the clearest one that I've seen which is targetted at the already-existing faultlines in the MAGA coalition over Epstein files and Israel/America First.

@UKLabour Defined how @Keir_Starmer?

[Robert Pee @RobertPee2]

#MAGA has no clue what it is doing in the #IranWar‌. There is no recorded case of a population rising up to pressure its leaders to surrender - or to remove them - due to bombing.

If hegemony is consensus protected by the armour of coercion, then US hegemony is eroding. Consensus is absent. The armour of coerion is also not doing well: https://t.co/j6ITSzT3ef

Why, as a nation, do we entertain this colossal ignoramus?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

[Robert Pee @RobertPee2]

Do you condemn the attack on the South Pars gas field, @Keir_Starmer?

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility.

We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

Whose reckless and destabilizing attack started the war @YvetteCooperMP?

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Iranian strikes on Riyadh, including on the US Embassy, are completely unacceptable.

We condemn these reckless and destabilising attacks that target innocent civilians.

We stand with Saudi Arabia and our others partners across the region in the face of these attacks.

[Ben Thomason @BenThomason95]

Weve got neoconservative militarism without the universalist freedom pretexts, and neoliberalism without the pluralist meritocracy pretexts. Just bald faced hard power driving us off a cliff for the privileges of a few

[Robert Pee @RobertPee2]

The United States and Israel have broken international law through their attack on #Iran, @YvetteCooperMP. Yet, your statement does not mention this. Why not?

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

I have today spoken to regional allies to condemn indiscriminate strikes by the abhorrent Iranian regime and to express UK solidarity.

We want to see prevention of escalation and protection of civilian lives.

Our embassies are working tirelessly to support British nationals.

[Robert Pee @RobertPee2]

This is utterly divorced from reality.

AOC offered the first draft of left‑populist statecraft at Munich, tying inequality to democratic & security risks. Missing: institutions, pipelines, capacity. Can the left build the bench? Analysis on Leviathan 👉 (link in comments) #IR #Democracy #AOC
