I’m going to give you a 19th/20th Century Turkish word that must be considered by all leaders (#prententious, or not): *adamsendecilik* ‘being messed about in a pointless way by someone in authority to the point at which you need help’ - that’s what’s got to stop at every level.
Fact that Andrew Marr had no idea about the Islamic regime’s close connection with Venezuela is very significant. Former UK minister for security @TomTugendhat explaining very clearly what Iranians have known for years. Watch #IranRevolution2026
The Kremlin would like to remind everyone that seizing vessels in international waters is illegal. And so is blocking freedom of navigation.
Russians whining about international law is peak comedy.
Ahmadabad tonight. Never thought I’d ever see the regime’s “suppression forces” being chased out like this - literally picking up rocks and chucking them in vain as they run for their lives. #iranprotest2026 now officially #IranRevolution2022
The UK's defence secretary John Healey has said the Marinera oil tanker intercepted by the US was "falsely flagged" and is a "sanctioned, stateless vessel". trib.al/WpXXc9b 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube
Lots of pearl clutching over this, but you can’t complain on the one hand about the disintegration of the rules-based order and then claim that stopping sanctioned and stateless shadow fleets connected to Russia and Iran isn’t the right thing to do. If anything, we should be much…

My theory for why many Westerners including news channels are so quiet about the uprising against the Iranian regime: Many people see Israel as the root of all evil. The Iranian regime is opposed to Israel. So for some, this makes them not want to criticise the Iranian regime.
I’m not easily shook these days but the number of people who think the appropriate punishment for not following a masked federal agent’s orders is assassination is rather shocking
At the order of Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir a few days ago, crimes against humanity happening blithely on the streets of Iran in an attempt to crack down on protestors who remain undaunted. To think many are cheering on this murderous regime in the west. #IranRevolution2026
Security forces opened direct fire on protesters during protests in Kangan, Bushehr province in southern Iran, on Wednesday evening, according to videos sent to Iran International.

I couldn’t believe this was real, so I checked myself. The @BBCBreaking account hasn’t posted about Iran since July. One of the most consequential events of the century is unfolding and the BBC doesn’t think it warrants a headline. Meanwhile, the same account has spent months…
No. Colin has this the wrong way round. It's patriarchal conservatives who have argued sex difference = female inferiority. That female biology equates to intellectually inferiority & female reproductive capacity is damaged by sport. Feminists point this out. Don't blame us.
Seeing a lot of this "No TRUE feminist!" fallacy going around now to absolve "feminism" of any blame for the role many (not all) feminists played in promoting Blank Slate psychology that gave rise to Blank Slate morphology. I don't deny that many feminists have played a central…
I’m relying on a comedian over our national broadcaster to cover one of the most significant global moments. I’ve followed @omid9 to understand what’s happening in Iran. @BBCBreaking isn’t covering it.
We erode it, we tinker with it, we undermine it at our own risk of what comes next. Because - in my view - we are not a million miles away from someone seriously proposing trial by judge or panels of judge/mags for perceived ‘medium’ level offending.
Trial by 12 peers if the state accuses you of wrongdoing (that lands you in the Crown Court) is a safeguard. It’s *your* safeguard. Not trial by professionals or by judges - trial by Derek the dentist and Mo the research student and Sarah the new mum and Fred who has retired.
The unpopular, uncomfortable truth about jury trials is that those who need them are not ‘others’. People I’ve represented: police officers, university students, taxi drivers, teachers, chemists, business people, *children* & those who simply went for a drive in their car.
Your reminder that it is not racist to be against Islam It is the liberal and progressive position to be against superstition - particularly backwards and anti-scientific belief systems that encourage homophobia, misogyny, sectarian murder and which seek to subjugate humanity…
Decriminalising abortion will make it impossible to prosecute women who end pregnancies on the grounds of sex. ✍️ John Power spectator.com/article/foetal…
The bravery of these people is astounding. They're light in what lately has felt like a very dark world.
The Lion of Iran has awakened. Iranians are rejecting Islam, the Islamic Republic, and Sharia Law en masse. I've never been more proud to be Iranian. ❤️
A day after Witkoff stands next to European leaders vowing to defend Ukraine, the US and UK militaries work together to seize a shadow fleet ship bound for Russia… not all bad news for European security at the moment
BREAKING: The UK has provided support to the US at their request to seize the Russian flagged vessel in the North Atlantic UK Armed Forces provided pre-planned operational support, including basing, to U.S. military assets interdicting the Bella 1 in the UK-Iceland-Greenland…
