It’s happening.

MI5 is investigating the funding of Stephen “Tommy Robinson” Yaxley-Lennon amid the suspicion that Russia may have stoked the UK fascist riots.

The investigation “may also extend to Farage”, says former MI6 officer Christopher Steele.

This is a useful corrective to the wingnuts who say Khan has lost control of London. It’s actually marginally safer than other parts of the country. You’re more likely to be a victim of knife crime in Cleveland, but you won’t hear the Tories saying the Mayor of Teesside has lost control. Wonder why.
Fact check: has Sadiq Khan really overseen a crime surge in London?
Capital’s mayor is often accused of allowing crime to soar, but Guardian analysis shows reality is more nuanced

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

*Jewish protesters.

Some of the largest protests we've seen since this all broke out are by by *Jews* saying: Not in our name. Never again for ANYONE.

“‘Everyone cites Covid and Brexit’: number of UK businesses going bust rises 52% in two years”

The vast number of businesses going bust due to Brexit - willingly ignored by all our political leaders - shows the sorry state of denial UK politics is in.

In 2017, Trump inexplicably named former Epstein prosecutor Alex Acosta his Labor Secretary. Acosta then attempted to slash funding for sex trafficking victims by 79%.

Why If Sunak has lost all his WhatsApp messages did he bother launching a legal challenge in July to stop him having to hand them over to the inquiry??

The response to the Epstein list shouldn’t be partisan.

Democrat or Republican — if you’re defending child traffickers and rapists because they’re “on your side,” then you’re defending child trafficking and rape.

This isn’t complicated.
It’s a moral layup.
Investigate them all.

Brexit is collapsing, brick by brick.
"French and EU nationals at schools in France who come to the UK for a language-learning holiday will now only need to carry an ID card, as was the case before Brexit. Non-EU nationals attending French schools will still need a passport to enter the UK."

Both Netanyahu and Hamas' leaders realize that in a time of true peace they would be replaced by leaders who offer hope and good government. They therefore have no incentive to end this war
