That's assuming Starmer's telling the truth that he wasn't told. I have doubts.

Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour. This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

That's a halfway good thing. A better thing is if we had a leader who saw from the get-go that attacking Iran on the whim of a nutjob was obviously insane. Can we trust that the cabinet will restrain our PM next time he decides to follow Trump's lead?

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Don't rule it out yet. Starmer's already released statements blaming Iran for their retaliation - which could be a way of preparing the ground for full-on military actions backing the US and Israel.

We’re about to be dragged into another war in the Middle East for AIPAC and Netanyahu. We must do everything to support those fighting for democracy diplomatically, not with bombs. This is no different than the invasion of Iraq over 20 years ago. Congress must stop this war, before it’s too late.

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.
