But in my opinion, it’s not acceptable and we can’t last longer if we want to increase our credibility when it comes to other crises.”</p> <p data-end="1309" data-start="1047">Sanchez, the first senior European leader to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, added: “The world is looking at the EU and also at western society and asking: ‘Why are you doing double standards when it comes to Ukraine and when it comes to Gaza?’”</p> <p data-end="1556" data-start="1311">He said Spain had advocated suspending the EU’s strategic partnership with Israel. “What we have done so far is advocate to suspend the strategic partnership that the EU has with Israel,” he said.</p> </div> </div> </article>

Starmer told UK must repeal hate speech laws to protect LGBT+ people or lose Trump trade deal.

Plus sacrifice the NHS, food and environmental standards, worker rights. Who governs?

No thank you. Don't want to be the 51st state, or US slaves.

Better to join the EU and Single Market.

The language used by Judge Hodge stank of Gender Critical bias. “Biological sex” (red flag) - “one of the groups here represent 50% of the population.” When it’s Gender Critical’s bringing the appeal - probably 1% of the population.
“The convincing arguments of Sex Matters” 🙄. On and on. Stitch-up.

In 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Soviet Union agreed to carve-up the country.

History repeats itself: Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump-led USA agreeing a carve-up.

Will embolden all dictators to grab territories and resources of weaker countries.

Nuclear proliferation inevitable.

US Trump administration has pressured Romania to remove travel restrictions on Andrew Tate and his brother.

They are accused of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Will Romania capitulate?

Anyone doubting how low Trump will sink?

If the farmers get the same punishment as Just Stop Oil, that's about 6000 years for them.

Of course there will be nothing.

New -- A high-ranking Israeli army delegation secretly visited Britain's Ministry of Defence last month.

The UK government has now admitted they were given special immunity for the visit, shielding them from arrest for war crimes.

The son of apartheid is against race mixing? Say it isn't so. I don't know how this dude pretended to be a regular human for so many years because he is off the rails now. He should not have an office in the White House and he should not be anywhere near US government policy.

So they want the tax payer to wipe the debt slate clean so they can start raking in the private profits again. Nationalise the debt. Privatise the profit. Charlatans.
