Netanyahu:
"Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not"
Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39.
Ignorant of Jewish history.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):
1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party
2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

I read the new Lib Dem policy paper on climate change last week*, and it is genuinely excellent. The proposals are credible and ambitious, and clearly informed by good quality research.

According to Kemi Badenoch, no one can identify as anything other than what they were born as, and their identity is determined by so-called "biology."
Well, if we use her definition of biology, a DNA test will say she's Nigerian. So, she can't say she's British and doesn't identify as Nigerian.

Dear Israel, can you ask your Buddy Trump to get satellite pictures showing the locations of where the HAMAS Air Force, Navy and Army are. I can't even find news footage or reports of Territory held by HAMAS, grey zones etc. It's like HAMAS doesn't exist and you're just killing civilians

Which makes the U.K. Government’s obsession with sticking to X as a channel for official comms even more baffling. They might as well use OnlyFans.

Here's a fact for you all.
Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.
Not ONE.
This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.
But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Boris Johnson is not thick, uneducated, or mad. He is very educated. His parents spent a lot of money ensuring he would be educated to think this way, and was then paid handsome sums of money to continue thinking that way. And until the British public fully grasp that, we will continue to suffer it.
Just the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom there, informing you that the President of France is engaged in with a Holy War against British sovereignty using black and brown people as ‘shock troops’.

pretty telling comment here. Britain and America absolutely did feed and clothe Nazi and Japanese POWs during WWII. and they provided food and supplies to occupied territories as the war was won. the Hunger Plan by contrast was a Nazi thing
