Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative:

Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth.

But he meant well.

Why is BlueSky using KWS for age verification? Those of us in the UK need a trusted UK based age verifier. I won't use KWS which so far as I understand collects way too much private data.

Mandelson sacked. Third time lucky, maybe Labour will FINALLY have done with the man?

After more than 600 days of bloodshed in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and now a fresh attack on Iran, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly looks like a leader who is using those wars to extend his hold on power - and avoid facing the courts.

My analysis
Israel’s attack on Iran puts a leader addicted to war in the spotlight
If the wars stop, Netanyahu’s right-wing nationalist coalition likely falls apart – and he will almost certainly be back in court facing corruption allegations that could see him jailed

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war.

These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack.

We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

The establishment media, Labour, and every other party is telling you that migration is a problem. Its not, it's a distraction.

The problem is the UK Gov trying to out compete the Tories and Reform to the biggest bunch of racists twats...and failing.

Stop the cruelty.

Trans rights are human rights. It's simple.

The UK Foreign Office is still defending Israel by saying that its preventing aid reaching Gaza only "risks" violating international law.

As Amnesty has said, this "is a war crime and amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population".

"We're also seeing a complete block from the Israelis on humanitarian aid going into Gaza, something which has been condemned by the UN"

What Israel is doing is collective punishment, a violation of intl law and a war crime. You're supposed to be a journalist. Do your job #GMB

Powerful, truthful documentary. The BBC caved to pressure from Zionists who hate that the world should see what is happening to children, women and men in Gaza.

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead.

Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump.

One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.
