Haaretz in Israel published an article on the likely Palestinian fatalities in Gaza. The 55, 202 killed (incl. 17,202 children) is very likely an underestimate according to experts. Those figures exclude those still buried under rubble.
The true figure is 100,000.

You can support Gaza without supporting Hamas.
Criticise Israel without being anti-Semitic. Grieve for Iran without endorsing extremism. Feel for innocent Israelis without backing the Israeli state.

Thin skinned Farage takes himself very seriously & dislikes being held to account.
He & his puffed bunch of amateurs are desperate to emulate Trump & MAGA. Farage needs ridicule and to be forensically held to account by a modern day Jeremy Paxman.

The Israeli genocide in Gaza has its roots in a long & painful history that answers many questions.
Ian Black's book Enemies and Neighbours: Arabs & Jews in Palestine 1917-2017 has been praised by Schama & is a factual, neutral account that answers many questions. A Sunday Times bk of the year.

Bizarrely my X feed 'cannot retrieve posts at this time', I've not been especially rude about Farage or Trump although I was a little cheeky to Charlie Kirk come to think about it.
Is anyone else have issues or am I in the X sin bin for being rude to MAGA?

66% of voters agree with Starmer's push for closer relations with the EU, 53% reckon Brexit was a bad idea. All latest stats from YouGov.
Why as the chief architect of Brexit who told plenty of proven lies supporting his case, do folk reckon Farage is their no. 1 choice for the next PM?

Today's Pharridge love-fest doesn't even start to interrogate who's been elected. Successful candidates social media accounts suggest that none of them have been vetted, few have any idea what is expected of them or that they'll have to leave their current jobs for a likely salary downgrade.
Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

The resistance is now seriously getting into gear. Wait till you hear what the Chagos Islands have planned, the US base (sole inhabitabts) there are seriously p*ssed at being 10% tariffed.

Effective immediately: Heard Island will be canceling our contract with Spacex for ALL future space travel. Dr. Amelia Sealhart and CPT Charles Icebergh will be leading our charge to adapt all flightless birds to flight capability. This will supplement our already extensive Albatross Space Force

For UK citizens, arriving in the US has always been an anxious. With tougher immigration controls incl inspection of electronic devices, it's about to get a lot worse.

There’s a simple solution. Boycott the US. Just don’t go.
