"#Blair sparks row with #Starmer after claiming #UK ‘should have backed #Trump from the beginning’ in #Iran"
I'm pretty sure that Starmer choosing this very path was at least in part due to how it turned out for Blair in Iraq. And rightly so.

CW: Avatar 2
We've just been to see Avatar 2. In general, this was an excellent film. Good story, magnificent visuals. I only have one real criticism: some of the dialogue seems out of place. This is set on an alien world, and we hear English as they speak their native language. But there were a lot of words and phrases that sound just like contemporary American slang. At that ruined the immersion just a little.
