Until yesterday, Pres Trump was still talking up the possibility of a negotiated outcome with Iran on the nuclear issue. Binyamin Netanyahu’s decision to attack Iran looks like a deliberate decision to block US negotiations.

The ludicrousness of Brexit making it way harder to export UK food to its biggest market, while never daring to do checks the other way on 2/3rds of the UK's food imports for fear of empty shelves, and all those "fantastic deals" with the rest of the world changing sod all !🤡👇

Thank you so much for this, Rupert. Most Brits quietly agree with you, but there are some who don’t understand what impartiality means, and think we’re being biased because we’re not biased in their favour. Best wishes.

Vance had the absolute gall to lecture us in Europe about free speech Meanwhile in the US 👇

Anyone else notice that global criticism of #Israel’s outrageous behaviour in #Gaza has become very muted since #Netanyahu decided that the world needed another war and started bombing #Iran? You would have to horribly cynical to suggest this is another diversionary tactic…

"What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America” JD Vance had the gall to lecture us in Europe about this when he came to Munich Meanwhile in "the Land of the Free"🤡👇

Current political discourse vilifies #migrants & heaps hatred on #asylum seekers & refugees, which only legitimises the hard-right and creates permissive conditions for violence. We need a new narrative & political courage to tackle #immigration. A blog: tsareilly.substack.com/p/the-politics…

I don’t want to hear any 🇪🇺 statement that the 🇺🇸 has the right to defend itself. This is a clearcut violation of international law.

Have I got this straight: - #Iran was in an agreement about its nuclear programme. - #Trump pulled out of it. - #US & Iran were negotiating. - #Israel bombed Iran. - #EU & Iran were negotiating. - US bombed Iran. - Trump says Iran must negotiate. Most confusing

#Israel-#Iran war live: Iran parliament votes to shut #Hormuz strait in response to #US attack raising fears of oil price shock and global recession. You have to ask: ‘which country is actually the threat to regional stability’? theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Under the JCPOA, Iran shipped its nuclear fuel out of the country and there were inspectors at Fordow. When you bomb Iran, they move their HEU and hide it and there are no inspections. Diplomacy works better than war. This is not a hard message.

Bombing a country and killing civilians to set back a nuclear program a few months when diplomacy can accomplish a lot more is not showing strength. There's something sick about the politics of US national security that so many people think it is.

Meanwhile this is still happening

#US supreme court limits federal judges’ power to block #Trump orders. The US decides that the #ruleoflaw no longer applies. The #President may do what they will, operating with unfettered powers. This is how #dictatorships are born theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

‘It looks more likely with each day we burn fossil fuels’: polar scientist on #Antarctic tipping points. It’s reprehensible to be opening new #coal mines & #oil & #gas fields. Astounding how human greed blinds CEOs to their responsibility for this disaster theguardian.com/environment/ng…

Drill baby drill

Around 400 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed while trying to get humanitarian assistance. I don’t recall these incidents (including this weekend) leading many papers or news bulletins. Are we really saying a few chants from a couple of musicians is more

It will be more agonizing to the millions of Americans who will lose health care and food assistance to give billionaires a tax cut.

The Guardian reports that Israel hit the Al-Baqa coffee-house in Gaza on Monday with a 500-lb US-made MK-82 bomb, killing up to 36 people and injuring dozens more. It says experts in international law believe the use of such a weapon against a civilian target may be a war crime.

#Europe’s heatwave is an opportunity to seize back the narrative from the lies of the hard-right, re-state the reality of #climate change & explain that the costs of tackling climate change are far lower than the long-term costs of inaction. A blog: open.substack.com/pub/tsareilly/…
