Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.
The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

the thing that makes this story so extremely awful is that Brianna had a supportive and loving community online even though she struggled with anxiety in her day to day life. Her mother is looking at an unspeakable crime in Brianna's in-person school and blaming it on Brianna having online friends
Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

Trump wants you to believe that this is about Iran signing a nuclear deal - one he tore up in 2018! - but Israel just killed Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator who was telling US television just two weeks ago that Iran was open to a deal.
A few weeks ago, Trump posted this NBC News interview with top Iranian official Ali Shamkhani on Truth Social.
Shamkhani, who was overseeing the Iranian nuclear file, said this:
"If the Americans act as they say, for sure we can have better relations."
Israel has killed Shamkhani.
