Israel bombed and murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, and there is zero outrage in Western media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

1,373 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food, most by the Israeli military, between May 27 and July 21 in Gaza.
Israeli forces routinely opening fire on starving Palestinians amount to war crimes.

🚨 BREAKING: Despite overwhelming evidence they risk fuelling genocide in Gaza - High Court says it can’t intervene in govt's decision to keep supplying F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel.
This is hugely disappointing.

Commission ramps up deportation drive with new ‘safe third country’ proposal: EU countries could deport asylum seekers to states they merely transited through - or even to places they’ve never set foot in - so long as a bilateral agreement or informal arrangement exists.

Five years ago, Britain left the EU. The divorce was painful: years of bitter negotiations and a series of rejections led to sour feelings on both sides. But half a decade later, time (and geopolitics) is beginning to heal Brexit's wounds.

Britain will produce no coal in 2025 - having phased out the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel last Sept, becoming the first G7 country to do so.
But since 1880s the UK has burned ~4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting more than most countries have from all energy sources.
