Netanyahu Threatens Spain, a NATO/EU Member, with Retaliation
I wonder what he thinks he can do to a member of both NATO and the EU?
Israel's Track Record Shows No Respect for Ceasefires
Israel doesn't even honour ceasefires it has agreed to. Why would anyone think it would honour a ceasefire agreement it wasn't party to?
U.S. Will Trade Lebanon to Israel to End Iran War
Just as I said. The Americans will give Lebanon to Israel as the price for ending hostilities with Iran.
Netanyahu and Trump Must Face Hague War Crimes Trial
Both men should face trial at The Hague. Netanyahu, of course, is already a wanted war criminal. Trump should be too.
Arab Nations Permit Iran to Bomb US Bases, Avoid Airstrikes
Arab states not only didn't join the airstrikes against Iran, they let Iran bomb US bases on their territories.
Hostile Ships Lose Navigation Rights Amid Aggressive Actions
"Vessels and aircraft associated with hostile states—or those facilitating military operations—cannot simultaneously claim protective navigation rights while engaging in aggressive acts." The US and its proxies have only themselves to blame for the closure of the Strait to their traffic.
Strait Never Closed; US Seizure Would Invite Iranian Drones
This is actual nonsense. The Strait was never closed to China. And as many people have pointed out, if the US Navy had seized the Strait by force it would have been a sitting duck for Iran's drones.
Iran Claims Right to Defend After Israel's Attack
You omitted to mention that Israel attacked the "Islamist regime". Iran has the right to defend itself.
Israel Allegedly Plots Lebanon’s Partition with Syrian Cooperation
"Israeli sources stress this is not a plan Israel is actively pursuing by choice, but rather a fallback that becomes more realistic as every other option fails." You believe this obvious lie, do you? Israel has wanted to dismember Lebanon for...
Iran's Missile Barrage Timed with Passover, Contradict
Probably because Israel bombed Iran when Muslim families were gathering for Eid. Had you thought of that?
Trump Allegedly Plotting an Invasion of Iran
I have not listened to Starmer, but I am in no doubt Trump intends to invade Iran.
Israel Won’t Gain Control Over Gulf Oil Supply
Giving Israel the power to control the flow of oil from the entire Gulf? Nah. Never going to happen.
Abolishing Death Penalty Shows Progress, Not Regression
Indeed. But Britain no longer has the death penalty. Reverting to the laws of a more barbaric age is not progress.
Support Intervention to Safeguard Haulage Industry
I agree. But I do think there is a case for intervention to protect haulage.
Highly Recommended, but British Viewers May Be Disappointed
I've watched it. Strongly recommend. I'm afraid the British do not come out of it at all well.
Israeli Interceptors, Not Iranian Missiles, Hit Holy Sites
No Iranian missile has hit a holy site. The shrapnel that fell on the roof of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was from a bomb intercepted in flight by an Israeli missile. Al-Aqsa has also been hit by interceptor...
Iran Vows Retaliation over US, Israeli University Attacks
This would be retaliation for attacks on Iranian universities by the US and Israel. Please try to report ALL the facts.
Brother Jailed for Contempt, Not Pronoun Refusal
Your brother is in prison for contempt of court, not "refusing to use they/them pronouns". He persistently turned up at his former school despite a High Court order requiring him to stay away. https://t.co/EG4Llei3SH
Misusing Restricted Donations Is Illegal and Punishable
Hmm. I hope they got legal advice. Donations given for a specific purpose can be legally restricted to that purpose. Treating restricted funds as general funding is unlawful and carries penalties for the trustees. https://t.co/2YUgNnzAJo
Israel Deploys 2,000‑lb Mark 84 Bombs on Tehran
"Military experts told BBC Eye that the Israeli air force is likely using particularly large bombs across Tehran from the Mark 80 series, which are often fitted with precision guidance systems. They added that the scale and spread of the damage...
NATO Invoked Article 5 only After 9/11, Not Now
Trump has said this before. It's no more true now than it was then. NATO came to the aid of the US after the 9/11 attacks. It is the only time Article 5 has ever been triggered.
IDF Allegedly Tortures Toddler to Force Father's Confession
Torturing a toddler to make his father "confess" is absolutely an IDF tactic. We've seen the evidence.
Lebanon's Government Misjudges End to Israeli Invasion
If Lebanon's government thinks this will end Israel's invasion of its territory, it is very mistaken.
Ignoring Growth Shock, Rate Hikes Risk Recession
This "bet" completely ignores the negative shock to economic growth. If central banks raise rates into this, they will cause a recession. Cc @BenRamanauskas
Judge Actions, Not Words; He Plans to Invade Iran
Yes. Look at what he does, not what he says. He's going to invade Iran.
UK Rates Too Tight; Cutting Interest May Avert Recession
You are not alone. "Monetary conditions in the UK are... appreciably tighter than they were in 2022, and households are under more financial strain. The Bank of England does not have anything like as much room to raise rates as...
Trump Exits, World Left to Clean His Mess
Trump is bailing out and leaving the rest of the world to clear up his mess.
New Law Ensures Partners' Abusers Face Justice
The legislation passed yesterday would not mean a man who commits a crime against his partner gets away with it.
Face-to-Face Requirement Would Hinder Early Legal Abortions
Yet another account that does not know the law. Pills for terminations cannot be obtained from the NHS after 10 weeks gestation. The vanishingly small number of cases of drug-induced late termination involved pills illegally obtained from a foreign online...
New Law Decriminalizes Self‑managed Abortions, Not Full‑term Legalization
OK, I am bored with this lie now. Here are the facts. - Abortion remains illegal after 24 weeks gestation except in certain rare and exceptional circumstances - Supplying pills to terminate a pregnancy remains illegal after 10 weeks gestation -...
Israel Shuts Holy Sites, Citing Self‑started War
Disingenuous. Israel has closed Al-Aqsa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during the holiest time for both faiths. And it "justifies" this with a war that it started.
Presidential Tweets Trump Central Bank Rate Moves
"Does anyone really care if central banks raise or lower interest rates by 25 basis points, when the US president can send entire economies into a tailspin with a post on Truth Social?" Coppola Comment, 10th March. https://t.co/cCBaBOBPfB
Israel Repeatedly Targets Lebanese Towns with Aerial Strikes
But it is the same as Israel using them over towns and villages in Lebanon. Which it has repeatedly done.
Strait of Hormuz Closed After US‑Israel Conflict with Iran
The Strait of Hormuz was open to the world until Little Israel and its Big Daddy America started a war on Iran.
Bedouin Villages Lack Shelters, Iron Dome Protection, Near Bases
Perhaps more importantly, she neglects to mention that Bedouin villages have no bomb shelters, are not covered by the Iron Dome, and are often close to Israeli military facilities.
Tory Recklessness Sparked Inflation, Banking Crisis, Oil Embargo
In fact the high inflation and run on the pound that caused the bailout were the result of the previous Tory government's reckless fiscal and monetary loosening in a "dash for growth", a banking crisis caused by the Tory government's...
Adults' Diagnosis Denial Won’t Aid Children’s Care
It is not clear to me how denying diagnosis to adults like me would get children more medical help.
Putin Gains Economic Windfall From Middle East Oil Surge
"Arguably the person who benefits most from this chaos is President Putin, who receives an unexpected economic windfall from higher oil prices which will help him to continue his war on Ukraine." Me, last week. https://t.co/cCBaBOBPfB
Israel Not NATO Member; Allies Not Obligated to Defend
Israel is not a member of NATO. NATO members are under no obligation to defend it, either militarily or legally.
UNSC Silence Explained: US Veto and Israel Influence
Why hasn't the UNSC condemned the US and Israel attacks on Iran? Oh silly me. The US is a permanent UNSC member with a veto. And Israel pulls its strings.
Media Silence on Israeli Displacement versus Lebanese Coverage
If three-quarters of a million Israeli civilians had been driven out of their homes by Lebanon's army and left with nowhere to go, this would be headline news in every Western media outlet. But when the Israeli army does this...
Fed Sets Reserve Levels; SOFR‑IORB Gap Signals Bank Comfort
No, it tells you there are still very large quantities of reserves in the system as a result of QE. Banks collectively are obliged to hold all the reserves issued by the Fed. The quantity of reserves in the system...
