The bastard who murdered little Preston has been given a full life sentence.

Shouldn't Reform and their friends be demanding white school teachers are vilified across the nation?

Aren’t they already? “My little Timmy just set fire to the school and broke a girls arm. And you spoke to him in a mean tone of voice! How can you live with yourself?!!”

That wasn't what I had in mind at all.

When disgusting murders were committed in Stockport, Mr Farage demanded unrest on the streets against a particular cohort of people, one of whom he had incorrectly assumed was involved in the dreadful murders.

Trump favourably compares the president of Syria with Netanyahu (whom he also called "very much the junior partner"0.

“The president of #Syria. He’s done a tremendous job… He’d love to go in [to #Lebanon]… he wouldn’t knock down buildings every time he hears there’s someone there, he’d just go in with precision.”..

Of course this is (even for someone like me who thinks Julani/Ahmed al-Sharaa is, on balance, probably now a force for stability in Syria) objectively insane. But it shows which way Trump is leaning.

Bib has joined the Pantheon of those who Trump feels have personally betrayed him. Quite difficult to come back from that. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

Haven't found the Tweet but some MAGA influencers want Trump to bomb Israel if Bibi betrays Trump over the Iran deal.

And their doppelgängers in Israel are raging about Trump's 'betrayal'. Time for Israel to go it alone and perhaps bust out one of their nuclear weapons (which they may or may not possess) in a relatively uninhabited area is some of what I've read.

If there is ever any point in Israel having nuclear weapons, it is to use them destroying their nemesis before thei nemesis can get them and use them against Israel.

Expect Israel to threaten Iran with nuclear destruction if they consider they are close to making a bomb.

Meanwhile, Iran has new-found economic clout (plus it took on and beat Israel and the US combined). Why do they need a bomb?

Iran's 'economic clout' is the ability to restrict oil flows through Hormuz while simultaneously having its own oil flows restricted.

A mutually assured destruction of oil flows.

Iran needed a fake agreement and the oil flowing again as much as Trump did.

Meanwhile the Arabs are building new pipelines to bypass Hormuz at which point Iran's half of the oil flows MAD becomes much feebler.

Or the banning of adoption by gay men?

The Guardian Politics Live has a modest number of Dogs At Polling Stations pics.

They also have a scary picture of Farage as a zombie....

Not the "shorts" picture?

Don't mention that! Its a sword of Damocles hanging over PB.

That picture is no more.

I promised a lurker that if Matt Goodwin lost the Denton & Gorton by-election I would never use that picture again on PB.

How about on X?
