Israeli settlers have launched a series of brutal attacks on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank. This racist ethnic cleansing is fully backed by the Israeli government.

Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves have a lot in common www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Liz Truss was, in reality, brought down by the Bank of England. That Bank has now laid the foundations for the crisis that is threatening Reeves. They have much more in common than most people would think.

Does the FT think there’s a Musk-insprired conspiracy against Labour? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01...

It's been obvious for some time that the scale of Israel's mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza has been grossly underreported.
This won't stop the denialists here and elsewhere, of course.

Breaking: The Lancet has just published a study which found that Gaza death toll was *underreported by 41%* (as of Jun) due to Israel’s attacks on healthcare & disruption to record keeping.
This study suggests that the current death toll is 76,820 instead of MoH’s current 46k no.
