RSF 'to cut flow of oil unless Sudan army drone strikes cease.' That is a considerable threat, but couldn't just the SAF threaten to blow up RSF diamond mines? There is a certain degree of mutually assured destruction, no?
Rory Synnott: British nationals were kidnapped…
British nationals were kidnapped in international water, taken to Israel, and then subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, filmed with the presence of an Israeli minister. And the best this government can offer is summoning the chargé d'affaires? Close the embassy. Cowards.

CONFIRMED: ALL SEVEN ARE AFGHAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Seven men, all Afghan nationals and refugees, have been charged with 40 offences · Five arrived illegally in Britain by small boat; two by lorry @CDP1882
Andrew Feinstein: Israel is depraved in a way…
Israel is depraved in a way that not even apartheid South Africa was. Apartheid, through its racism, dehumanised many white South Africans. This seems to have gone even further in Israel where any pretence of humanity or decency has been obliterated by racist dehumanisation & unimaginable violence, evil & psychotic sadism
Diane Abbott: Many MPs have already supported…
Many MPs have already supported this Early Day Motion. It notes that higher prices and shortages are being caused by Trump's war on Iran and the US blockade. It argues government should be aiming to end the war. If you agree, you can contact your MP.Cameron Hudson: RSF defections…
RSF defections: a turning point in Sudan's war? This asks the good question, what if Hemedti were to defect? Would he face the same lack of accountability? Recent defections, and their poor public response, demands SAF find an answer before peace talks.
Alex Wickham: The foreign office has sent...
Exclusive with @EllenAMilligan The foreign office has sent redundancy letters to the Iran crisis team that is leading the UK’s response to the war Around half of the officials in the unit are expected to take up the offer, which comes as part of severe FCDO job cuts The crisis team works around the clock in a windowless bunker to support British nationals and work on policy and scenario planning Officials find out in the coming days if their jobs are being kept or not The redundancies in the Iran team are happening just as Trump mulls new strikes on Tehran and the crisis threatens to escalateCameron Hudson: The SAF and its intelligence services...
"The SAF and its intelligence services identify RSF commanders whose tribal loyalties are fraying, offer guarantees and then publicize the defection for maximum psychological effect." An excellent look at what recent RSF defections mean for the war.
Patrick Henningsen: After punishing their population with...
After punishing their population with economic warfare & brutal embargo, you really think you’re their friend. This corrupt old man will go down in history as a sadistic criminal & a footman for organized crime & the corrupt Israel Lobby. Nothing Trump can say or do will reverse that inevitability…

US and Iran closer to clinching draft deal “Serious efforts are underway” to finalize a draft agreement between the US and Iran, Al Arabiya reports. Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir is expected to visit Iran on May 21 to announce that the deal has been clinched.Pouria Zeraati: The vibe of Trump's, Rubio's, and...
A note: The vibe of Trump's, Rubio's, and even Vance's statements differs from the news that the media, especially Arab media, are trying to convey. On the American side, nothing is final. In Israel, the atmosphere is that the operation hasn't been canceled. In Tehran, still count on the clerics' bullshit. Mojtaba won't agree to the uranium withdrawal. Sensitive days lie ahead…Pouria Zeraati: «New York Times» quoting U.S. officials…
«New York Times» quoting U.S. officials: On the first day of the war, the Israeli Air Force attacked Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's house. The goal was to somehow free him from 'house arrest' and, after eliminating Khamenei, position him to take control of the country. According to these officials, Israel, with U.S. knowledge, prepared a plan to bring Ahmadinejad to power after weakening the current regime, and this had been conveyed to him as well. But the attack didn't go as it should have. Ahmadinejad was accidentally wounded in that strike; an attack targeting a security post on the street where several IRGC members who had effectively taken him hostage were killed. Since the attack, no one has seen him publicly, and it's now unclear where he is or what his condition is. ••• ••• ••• In this regard/ Sources in Israel to me: Ahmadinejad is still under a form of house arrest, and even his communication with his family is controlled.
Felix Rex: Don't be so hard on them…
Don't be so hard on them. These people bet everything on Trump. They put their last remaining hopes for a brighter future in him. They have spent the last decade forming their identities around MAGA. They literally don't even know who they are or what they stand for outside of MAGA. The writing has been on the wall for years and blue collar America has been decimated... they cannot bear the truth, that the jobs are not coming back, the immigrants are here to stay, the drugs will keep killing off their family members, the bills will keep stacking higher than their paychecks can reach, their hometowns will only crumble faster, the America they loved is gone and will never return. They can't swallow all of that it is too horrible. The irony is that they are supposedly Christians expecting the tribulations and awaiting the return of the Messiah.

The Govt just need to fuck off with their Fuel Duty freeze. We all know they've raked in £billions in extra revenue since the start of the Iran war. Cunts.

Bushra Shaikh: Admiral Brad Cooper says the investigation into the U.S.…
Admiral Brad Cooper says the investigation into the U.S. airstrikes on Minab school is "complex". I'd like to remind you: Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee to another part of the school, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too. What's 'complicated' about such intentional evil. Not once but THREE missiles.

This is what happens when you involve your country with foreign conflicts like we see in the Middle East. Mosques, Churches & Synagogues get attacked with innocent ppl being killed. NHPUK campaign to ban foreign interest group in all our political parties.
The Iran War Could Cost Tens of Thousands of Britons Their Jobs
A grim new forecast has sparked fierce debate across social media: by the end of 2026, the UK could lose as many as 163,000 jobs as a consequence of the war with Iran.
Daniel Lacalle: Not only is the Iran war causing a decline…
"Not only is the Iran war causing a decline in global output, but the world’s central banks continue to embrace easy-money policies. This will result in more dollars (or sterling, euros, or yen, etc.) chasing fewer goods. This will further fuel rising prices. This is why we continue to see a general rise in prices. If rising prices were merely a result of falling output in Persian Gulf related goods, then we’d see rising prices in some areas result in falling prices in other areas. In other words, if the money supply were reasonably stable, consumers would respond to rising prices in some areas by cutting spending in other areas. But the CPI suggests that’s not happening. Thanks to continual infusions of new money through loose monetary policy, consumers are able to continue bidding up prices in all areas, even as price increases in the energy sector rise to multi-year highs". @ryanmcmaken @mises
David Icke: Billions of lives are being impacted…
Billions of lives are being impacted by the fact that America is (officially) run by a little boy malignant narcissistic psychopath with a dictator complex (hiding serious insecurity) while the useless, spineless, gutless, Israel-funded eunuchs on Capitol Hill allow him to do it. Meanwhile, the imbecilic 'leader' with his balls caught in a vice of his own making desperately seeks to find an excuse to say 'I won' - an excuse that Iran so far refuses to give him. A few steps back in the shadows the Global Cult guffaws at exactly the outcome that it wanted to achieve as its old system is dismantled by Trump war and chaos to make way for its new far more extreme system of human control based on deprivation and digital/AI. All long planned.Patrick Henningsen: Trump continues to lie and make things up…
Trump continues to lie and make things up. The reality is he panicked because Hegseth has made of balls up of the Pentagon’s operations and Trump is trying to find an easy out. If the U.S. do mount an attack this week, it will be the worse move imaginable for Trump, Israel and U.S., militarily, politically and economically…
Dale Vince: Trump opens his mouth…
Trump opens his mouth and out comes Guff. Immigration is down 80% here since it’s Tory peak and for every one windmill we have the USA has 7..! Our North Sea is all but empty, less than 10% left - that isn’t gonna change anything. But facts don't matter to Trump, even what he says one day doesn’t matter to him the next day. Iran was beaten two months ago, but the war drags on, their Uranium stockpile was vital the other day - now it’s just a PR thing. We should pay zero attention to what this fool says. Ooops, I just gave more (of a shit) than I should have..:)Diane Abbott: The US/Israel war on Iran…
The US/Israel war on Iran and Trump's blockade will cost us all. Shortages could be on the way. Prices have already started to rise. And now private sector firms are cutting back. Firms cut investments and hiring in response to Iran war, surveys show
Timothy Ash: Trump started a war with Iran…
Trump started a war with Iran he cannot win or end. It strengthened the IRGC, China & Russia, weakened NATO, EU & Asian allies, boosting global inflation, increasing U.S. & global borrowing costs, slowing global growth, making the world’s poorest poorer.Pouria Zeraati: Important/ Trump after returning from China…
Important/ Trump after returning from China: A "minor cleanup" in Iran is probably still needed. Sensitive days lie ahead.
Ben Judah: There is a lack of seriousness in the Franco-British plan…
There is a lack of seriousness in the Franco-British plan for a Maritime Coalition to “unblock the Straits of Hormuz.” It will only operate —“with Iranian permission.” Our Gulf partners don’t need us to do deals with Iran to reopen the Straits. They can do that on their own. Presenting what are essentially media and Trump management plans like this as a serious endeavour in the Gulf to allies who can see through them undermines our credibility. Better modesty and honesty: we can offer some maritime support once others make a deal to help drive down maritime insurance. https://gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-france-to-lead-multinational-strait-of-hormuz-military-planning-conference#:~:text=At%20the%20Summit%2C%20they%20called,and%20conduct%20mine%20clearance%20operations.Daniel Lacalle: Boom. Trump and Xi demand…
Boom. Trump and Xi demand that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and warn that it "never" will be able to have nuclear weapons. The Chinese leader asserts that the 'Greater China' project is compatible with the "Make America Great Again" policy championed by the American.David Icke: I have long said the Cult plan…
I have long said the Cult plan has always been for the centre of world power to move eastwards to China within a global system and this meeting plus the ludicrous war with China-backed Iran mark the pivotal moment when China puts its dominant role on public display. It can be seen in so many ways, but is symbolised by the intellect of a tyrant Chinese leader meeting the tail-wagging little boy microscopic intellect of Trump. The 'Thucydides Trap' was Xi stating that the days of US global dominance are over - exactly what Trump was installed to achieve with the chaos and insanity that is dismantling the old Cult world order so the new one can replace it with China and its gathering allies dictating events.Read more
