Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
Unelected nobody Zia (Muhammad Ziauddin) Yusuf of Reform says Britain is being invaded by foreigners and wants to use huge Navy Warships to round up teeny weeny inflatable boats which is like using a tank to catch a rabbit 🙄 Fun fact - Yusuf’s parents migrated to the UK from Sri Lank in 1980’s..
It's a fair question.... "IF HUNTER BIDEN'S LAPTOP AND DICK PICS CAN BE MADE PUBLIC... IF ASHLEY BIDEN'S DIARY CAN BE MADE PUBLIC.... IF ANTHONY FAUCI'S DIARY CAN BE MADE PUBLIC.... THEN WHY ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES STILL NOT FULLY PUBLIC?"
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...
You can't expect Reform to have any kind of grasp on history, they don't have the intelligence for it. Also the valuable lessons that can be learnt from History have no place in Reforms bullshit narratives anyway.
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.

Can't wait for Nigel Farage to be voted in again, as an MP. He'll get investigated for corruption and will be stripped as an MP! It couldn't happen to a nicer lizard.
"Dear Diary The launch of our scheme to use the Royal Navy to stop small boats has gone exactly to plan. It is so patently absurd that it is all anyone can talk about, providing the perfect distraction from all our dodgy financial dealings"
BREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.
Every conversation I’ve had with my MAGA relatives for the last ten years distilled into three sentences.
‼️'MPs have had their stomachs pumped.' 🍺 Turns out Hannah Spencer was right when she said that Westminster's drinking culture is “unprofessional and worrying” and leads to “questionable and dangerous behaviour”. ⏳️ It's time to end Parliament's drinking culture.
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
This is it. Will they outnumber us or will we outnumber them? Teach your children well.
Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?
The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.
Just a random reminder that immigrants are good for society and good for the economy.

The ridiculous RFK Jr has a teeny tears tantrum as he's held to account by a far smarter, far better informed CNN journalist. It's excellent youtu.be/YNrEjDnQa8g?...
