Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned!

Am I alone in wanting to see the US utterly humiliated by Iran?

Obviously I don't side with their cruel, religious extremist, corrupt and authoritarian regime (but nor do I side with Iran's!).

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.

We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.

This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Thank you to Mike F Shaw.

Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA.

Gerrymandering isnโ€™t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

The U.S. has dropped at least 365,000 bombs since 2001 and has bombed:

Iraq for 20+ years

Syria for 10+ years

Yemen for 9+ years

Somalia for 17+ years

Pakistan for 18 years

Afghanistan for 20 years

But sure, tell us more about how Iran is the greatest threat to world peace.

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create.

Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable.

James Dyson is a scumbag.

<<"It has been nearly a decade since the first referendum. Looking at the current state of the economy and the cost of living, do you think the UK is better off rejoining the EU or continuing to forge its own path?">>

We are better off rejoining, so let's just do it!

No state has a right to exist.
A peoples of a land has a right to exist, but a state doesn't. States change, new ones are born made and old ones die.
South Sudan created 2011
Kossov 2008
Czechia 1993
Bangladesh 1971
Israel 1948
Places ended/changed & new ones appearedโ€”only 1 demands it exists.

Rather than opening more oil refineries, how about we get more EVs, more charging stations, more renewables, maybe even a super fast train or two.

Letโ€™s stop planning a future that includes fossil fuels.

Jeremy Clarkson complains about no village Doctor, no village shops, no village schools, no bobby.

This is the same Jeremy Clarkson who loves Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron who made all these things happen with their cuts.

They love complaining about what they voted for.

We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets. If you can afford the payments, you can afford to stop asking society to subsidize it.

In the last 2 years Israel has bombed 9 countries, continued a Genocide in Gaza murdering hundreds of thousands of women, children and babies. Invaded Syria, Lebanon and the West Bank.

And started a war with Iran by assassinating their leader.

The terrorist is Israel.

โ€‹โ€‹We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.

Meta got $13.7 BILLION.

Citigroup didn't pay a pennyโ€”we gave them a tax REFUND.

Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.

We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

I challenged Labour MP Mike Tapp on the government's harmful proposed immigration reforms.

In response he tried to tell me what my *own* constituents think about immigration ๐Ÿค”

Wondering what leverage in negotiations looks like?

Australia's new FTA with the EU provides 16,830 tonnes of tariff free access for beef.

Australia's FTA with the UK, completed with a desperate Johnson administration, provided 35,000 tonnes tariff free, rising to unlimited over 15 years.

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington, killed the U.S. President, politicians, diplomats and top generals, what would you call it? Terrorists.

The U.S. bombed Tehran, killed its head of state, politicians, diplomats and top generals. Why do you call it a "pre emptive strike"!
