This is a thread of the credible and authoritative warnings and findings of #Israel perpetrating #genocide in #Gaza. I'm collecting this here to rebut deniers and to illustrate the miserable capitulation of US and UK news media to Israeli propaganda. These sources should have been headline news.
The UK is colonised by billionaire parasites like Jim Radcliffe and we can't afford it.

In different ways, #Gaza and the #Mandelson/ #Epstein scandal reveal the same truth about the British ruling class: it doesn’t act when it knows about crimes or corruption, but when it can no longer plausibly deny that it knows.

I'll like to be the first person to say that, if Labour cuts off water and electricity to No. 10 until Starmer surrenders, I think they have that right.

Yesterday Israel approved measures for the further annexation of the West Bank. Inc making it easier for illegal settlers to buy land. All counter to the Olso accords. Smotrich said “we will continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian State”. But we know where there is occupation there is resistance?

A Green Party Govt in 2019 would represent a radical break with the corruption, criminality, ineptitude and class warfare of the previous 69 years.

#Reform, the Last of the Summer Wine for rancid Tory has-been and never-weres, would be more of the same with the cruelty turned up

It’s a really funny coincidence that the one Reform leaflet which didn’t have an imprint happened to be the one which claimed to be a letter from a neighbour, and looked more plausible without one.

Shell increases debt pile to $45.7bn to continue bumper shareholder payouts.

4% increase in dividends, $3.5bn share buybacks – 17th consecutive quarter of at least $3bn of buybacks.

Customers will pay.

CEOs appease shareholders who always want more. No govt curbs their power.

Barclays cuts ties with Mandelson lobbying firm. Vodafone may too.

This is public posturing, isn't it.

For years they used Mandelson to gain political advantage despite his history - forced to resign as minister, ambassador, his links with Epstein were known.

Now trying to reinvent themselves.

This is a prime example of BBC bias in action. Iran does not merely 'say' it has the right to enrich uranium, it's not their claim. Provided it's only for civilian purposes, all countries have this right in law.

Having followed Mandelson since the 1990s, it's more accurate to say a series of scandals occasionally tainted by a career.

MPs from the authoritarian, genocidal and corrupt Labour Govt refer to incompetent, shady, and corrupt Peter Mandelson to the politically compromised, riddled with rapists, and racist Metropolitan Police.

Israel has murdered more than 500 Palestinians in Gaza since it signed the so called ceasefire. One of the latest is a 3 year old child.

The bookies now have the Greens odds on favourites to win the Gorton & Denton by-election.

The message from them is - if you want to stop Reform you need to vote Green.

You had Peter Mandelson on one side, and Jeremy Corbyn on the other. It was as simple as that.
