It's always good to see the enemy making mistakes, rabbiting on at length mixing up any valid points with emotive rubbish

The Democracy Volunteers (all two of them) apparently claim to have seen an endemic situation of misogynistic 'Family Voting' , or perhaps MG is exaggerating the small sample of what they did see. Anyway, it appears that it did happen but the Problem there is that the Polling staff did not do their job properly .

End of !

The point about exterior family and clan-based 'biraderi'(?) vote-harvesting is much more interesting, and worth looking at, while the more modern version would be 'supervised' online-voting !

I heard that US/Israel bombed the 88 member assembly to vote on a new leader . Awaiting confirmation.

Lil Marco explains EVERYTHING --

That's a relief. Trump is taking action to protect tanker shipping in the ME


Wait, I've got some conflicting news coming through


Nope, we're still screwed.

Fair enough to defend the base, but NOT to join in the US/Israeli bombing.

How thick can you get Starmer ?

With all the shit that's going on this seems to have gone largely unnoticed but did anyone else hear Badenoch saying there shouldn't be any vote in parliament in relation to the Iran 'war' because of all the silly left wing MPs who shouldn't be allowed a vote on matters of national security?

I've never heard anything like it, the leader of the Tory party literally saying those she didn't agree with should be democratically muzzled.

I've seen Starmer receiving praise from some pretty unexpected places today for his 'standing up to Trump' and only allowing British bases to be used for defensive actions, but in reality he's making a virtue out of necessity. He couldn't go all in with Trump and the Israeli's because they and their actions are about as popular as eating dogshit in this country*, whereas he also couldn't be seen to be leaving British assets and citizens undefended. It was the only choice he could make.

Whether that line between offence and defence has been drawn with a thick red marker pen or a knackered old biro leaving convenient gaps is yet to be seen. Given our previous inglorious shenanigans under a Labour government during similar circumstances it's hard not to be cynical.


*Farage I can understand going gung-ho paying obeisance to his orange idol, but Badenoch? What's she playing at? From what I'm seeing about 75% of the British public object to bombing Iran, including nigh on half of Conservative voters. It's bizarre, even for her.
