Bus, train, tram. Nuclear is not green. No HS2 or new roads.

The "West" are not the only imperialists. Opposing only US/UK/Israeli imperialism is not anti-imperialist; it is merely anti-American.

You accepted $1.5 million from AIPAC.

For years, you & the GOP bigot Randy Fine have been on the same side, whoring for the same pimp.

Now is 21 months too late for you to try to launder your colonialist, racist, genocidal reputation.

The PSNI identified items on the Moygashel bonfire, including a boat full of dummy migrants, and an Irish tricolor, as a "possible hate crime".

Yet they let the organisers proceed with burning it.

Is prevention no longer better than cure?

Please always include Defence Sec John Healey in any list of Labour war criminals.

Under him, the RAF makes daily reconnaissance flights to the Gaza strip. Weekly military transport flights to Israel. And lets Israeli air force planes use RAF bases in the UK.

He should be in jail, not in office.

The RAF not only flies arms to Israel. It also makes reconnaissance flights toward the Gaza strip, more or less every day. And it lets the Israeli air force use RAF bases.

UK personnel, from Air Marshal Jock Stirrup, down the RAF chain of command to individual air crew, are now war crimes suspects.

LABOUR DOUBLE STANDARDS
Labour is losing swathes of seats to the neo-fascist Reform.

Were @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social still leader, right-wingers would demand that he resign to "save Labour".

But now, the hypocrites will say #LiarStarmer needs merely to change some policies & hold his nerve.

HAPPY MAY DAY!
Please help Labour to lose hundreds of seats on #InternationalWorkersDay.

Labour is no longer a "democratic socialist party", and never will be again.

It inflicts austerity at home, and war crimes abroad.

The Labour party should cease to exist.

Ireland's Exclusive Economic Zone is in international waters.

Sailing in international waters, correctly lit, is not "skulking".

However, Ireland's defence forces are too tiny to defend the numerous international cables on the seabed of its EEZ.

Does Irish neutrality rely on wishful thinking?

Please ask Streeting why he gave a £330 million contract to spyware firm Palantir, whose boss Peter Thiel claims the NHS "makes people sick".

Palantir aids, & profits from, Israeli apartheid, & the genocide of your Palestinian kin. Palantir are war criminals.

#LiarStarmer breaks almost every promise he ever makes.

He lied to Labour party members to deceive them into electing him leader.

He lied to the public to deceive them into electing a supposedly Labour government.

The only promises Starmer ever keeps are those he makes to apartheid Israel.

When Trump says "Only sick and twisted people keep bodies", is he too stupid to know that withholding Palestinian dead bodies has been Israeli policy for decades?

Essex Police has made a fresh appeeal for witnesses to help find a man in his 60s who disappeared from Clacton more than seven months ago.

He is suspected of deceiving 21,225 people into believing that he would serve them as their MP.

Yet another #LiarStarmer u-turn.

In 2019 Starmer condemned Trump, & condemned Boris Johnson for being endorsed by Trump.

In 2025 Starmer fawns on Trump, & hands him an invitation from Charles III to make a State Visit to the UK.

Starmer is the most unprincipled UK Prime Minister in living memory.

Vice-President Cheeto-Face's White House press team seems unaware of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921.

The last "Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland" was, er, David Lloyd George.

I apologise for posting an item from the Daily Mail. But it's only a screenshot, with no link to the article.

In "1984", George Orwell described very well how a dictatorship reduces language in order to reduce thought.

I would never condone this violent threat.

It would be a shameful waste of pineapples.

You would prefer our local Romanian grocer.

It stocks several varieties of canned soup.

But tripe soup is the only variety that it stocks also in big family-sized cans.

Good with numbers?

JP Morgan was the bank behind White Star Line.

They couldn't even be trusted to put enough lifeboats on the "Titanic".
