During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up.
While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered.

Over the years I’ve been in many towns and cities when they were being bombed — in a few cases (Baghdad, Belgrade etc) by my own country. No matter what the justification, most of the victims have been entirely innocent. I’ve come to loathe the very thought of aerial bombardment.

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by US analytics software company Palantir.
A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email

No. It isn’t. Even though you and your friends are eagerly trying to make your prediction come true. The Britain you see on your phone and that you are making other people see on their phones is not Britain. Come and visit.

Antisemitism exists in U.K. & must end
Maccabi fanbase incl a hardcore racist hooligan faction
U.K. policing has been substantially under-resourced for years
PMs & Home Secs should stay out of operational decisions made by police forces

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today.
Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded.

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

Whoever that guy was who forged Trump’s name on the Epstein card in 1995 and patiently waited 30 years for a leak was a next-level strategist. It’s almost unbelievable.

Fascinating thread 👇. Please read.
Chris was Mentioned in Despatches for his courage, professionalism and judgement as a young Captain during the Falklands War 1982. Today arrested for calling out Israeli war crimes. What a tragic indictment of this government’s moral collapse

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions.
Any “tough on crime” policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction.

Don’t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
