Trump is escalating his threats against Iran again, but he’s doing it after already showing exactly how far he was willing to go last time. Right, so Donald Trump is escalating the threats against Iran again. The language has hardened, the plans are back in circulation, the warnings are bigger, louder, more absolute and the machinery is being spun up as if this is the first time he’s done it all o...

As the war on Gaza drags on, BDS pressure is turning ordinary commercial links with Israel into reputational liabilities businesses no longer want. Right, so Boker Tov is an Israeli-owned food chain that’s been operating in Belgium, selling Israeli street food under a softened “Levantine” label, working on the quiet assumption that food sits above politics if you soften the language enough. Well i...

When pension funds start questioning US debt because of political behaviour, something deeper than Greenland is breaking. Right, so a Danish pension fund has just moved to exit US Treasuries. Offload US debt in other words. Not stocks, not defence firms, not some symbolic gesture, but US government debt, because US political behaviour itself has been judged a risk and this is the kind of response...

Israel’s fruit exports are being hit as European retailers respond to consumer-led BDS boycotts without public announcements. Right, so Israeli fruit exporters are losing routine access to European supermarkets, with orders cancelled, buyers pulling back, and harvests being left unsold. Mangoes and citrus that used to move as a matter of course are now only being bought when there’s no alternative...

The hunger strike ended, but the most dangerous medical phase began after they were sent back inside. Right, so Sodexo is a multinational outsourcing company that runs prisons for the British state, including HMP Bronzefield, and it’s now been accused of abusing Palestine Action prisoners for one very simple reason: a hunger strike ended and the system rushed to move on while the danger was still...

US pressure was pushed to leadership level, Iran answered at deterrence level, and nothing about this confrontation reset when the strike didn’t come. Right, so the United States has threatened Iran at the level of leadership, talked openly about regime change, hinted at intervention, and then stopped. Not resolved it. Not de-escalated it. Just stopped. The strike didn’t happen, the language didn’...

A UK court has now accepted that Israeli citizenship is not automatic protection from persecution and its bad news for Team Keith! Right, so the UK has just granted refugee status to a Palestinian who holds Israeli citizenship, after the Home Office fought it for years and lost. That single decision removes a shortcut British politics has relied on for decades, which is that Israeli citizenship au...

Donald Trump has tied tariffs on allies to taking Greenland — but the assumption that Europe has no leverage isn't actually true... Right, so Donald Trump has announced tariffs on European allies because they won’t agree to him taking Greenland, with a 10% levy next month and 25% after that on eight NATO states, explicitly tied to whether opposition stops. That move removes a basic assumption peop...

ICE has been publicly compared to the Brownshirts in Minneapolis and after Gregory Bovino’s appearance, that comparison has stuck. Right, so ICE carried out an operation in Minneapolis that ended with a civilian being shot, in public, during enforcement, and the system closed ranks around it. But since then, federal leadership has now turned up, visibly, unapologetically, dressed for command in th...

An Iranian monarchist, Goldie Ghamari, threatened critics of regime change on live broadcast - showing what backers of the Shah are all about. Right, so an Iranian monarchist, Goldie Ghamari sat on Piers Morgan’s show, and when the conversation got a little bit tricky, she switched into Farsi, and told people what would happen to them after regime change in Iran. Not hypothetically. After. She sai...

Trump didn’t end the war — he turned Gaza into a managed asset, and brought Tony Blair back to help run the paperwork. Right, so Donald Trump has announced a Gaza “Board of Peace” that is more of a “Gaza Board of Occupation”, a “Gaza Board of Taking All The Spoils”, put himself at the top of it, named Tony Blair to it, because presumably Satan is busy washing his hair, and rolled it out as the sta...

Israel asked Trump to wait on his Iran strike, but in doing so gave away the one thing it can’t afford to lose: the claim that it controls escalation. Right, so news has now emerged that Benjamin Netanyahu had asked Donald Trump to delay that expected strike on Iran. Not cancel it. Delay it. But he was so keen last June wasn’t he? What’s changed then? Well the reason being briefed is that Israel i...

The United States entered a strike readiness posture against Iran and then stopped - so is it all off or is there more to it? Right, so the US has moved to strike Iran, entered a readiness posture, and then suddenly it stopped. Was it because the forces in place weren’t enough to do it safely? Not all the pieces were on the board perhaps? Well maybe so. The regional bases were exposed, civilian ai...

Israel has taken its Lebanon campaign north using F-35s, an escalation that hasn’t just breached the ceasefire again, but done so on steroids. Right, so Israel has been breaching the so-called Lebanon ceasefire from the moment it was signed, with regular strikes, incursions, and violations that everyone politely pretended were “incidents.” That fiction has now been stretched past breaking point, b...

A Bristol school cancelled a Labour MP’s visit, Labour responded by implying antisemitism instead of answering the objection. Now the parents fight back. Right, so Labour Minister Steve Reed has gone on a stage and implied a Jewish MP was blocked from visiting a school, and Keir Starmer has followed up by saying the people who stopped it will be “held to account”. A school decision that would norm...

Donald Trump has publicly urged unrest inside Iran while pairing that encouragement with threats of force - red lines very much crossed. Right, so Donald Trump has publicly urged Iranians to escalate unrest while pairing that encouragement with threats of force, and Israel’s Mossad has used intelligence-linked channels to address Iranians directly in Farsi, urging mobilisation, and that combinatio...

Airlines cancelled flights and allies pulled back after Trump escalated Iran strike talk, and that reaction exposes a reality he can’t retreat from. Right, so Donald Trump has publicly threatened Iran with imminent attack, encouraged unrest, and triggered live military preparations, and the immediate result is that embassies have shut, flights have been cancelled, bases have thinned out, and airsp...

Somalia has cancelled UAE security deals, shut down port agreements, and cut off military access to its airspace and that's just for starters. Right, so Somalia has cancelled its security and defence deals with the UAE, torn up port agreements at Berbera, Bosaso and Kismayo, shut off military access to its airspace and territory, and the UAE has already started pulling people and kit out. So why h...

Iran jammed Starlink during the shutdown, and in doing so stripped away the last illusion that satellite internet is untouchable. Right, so Iran has just jammed Starlink during a nationwide internet shutdown. The Elon Musk unstoppable magic workaround everyone’s been banging on about didn’t work. The satellite didn’t sail above it all. The signal didn’t just “get out”. It got hit like everything e...

Donald Trump's latest threats admit the Iran pressure scheme failed and China just put icing on that failure cake. Right, so Donald Trump has just threatened every country trading with Iran with a blanket 25 percent tariff on all their business with the United States if they don’t stop. He’s stamping his tiny orange feet now because regime change isn’t happening. He botched it. And the idea that t...

Israel has been linked to an AI influence operation around Iran’s protests, pushing regime change and it’s just been blown apart. Right, so this is about more than protests flaring up in Iran, and it goes beyond the levels of Israeli interference we already knew about through Mossad, because what’s now broken is news that Israel has also been running an AI-driven influence operation designed to in...

Nadhim Zahawi has just joined Reform UK, and that move has blown a hole clean through the party’s anti-elite pitch. Right, so Nadhim Zahawi has just joined Reform UK, and this isn’t a one-off, it’s the system doing what it always does when one brand collapses and another looks useful, when one gravy train starts running out of juice and another offers plenty. A former Conservative chancellor, dump...

Israel has started preparing bomb shelters. So confrontation with Iran seems to be unavoidable, because clearly they've accepted escalation as the price. Right, so Israel has started preparing bomb shelters, and even more embassies are quietly pulling people out, and you’re being told next to nothing about this, because our media are frothing at the mouth at the thought of Iran’s Ayatollah’s falli...

Israel has admitted Mossad operations inside Iran during the unrest, and that single statement has blown a hole clean through the protest coverage. Right, so Israel has openly said its intelligence services are operating inside Iran during all the unrest there, during the rioting and the protests and the remarkable thing isn’t so much the admission – Israel are rather arrogant about such things -...

Trump has demanded massive investment in Venezuela’s oil and promised protection — and the oil companies have refused, calling it uninvestable. Right, so a US president has just told oil companies to pour a hundred billion dollars into another country and take its oil, as if ownership is already settled and paperwork is an afterthought and they’ve told him where he can stick it instead. Donald Tru...
