The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago.
You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

There’s an established vocabulary for everything from honest critique to abject outrage, and Trump, like others before him, displays such utter depravity that the vocabulary just can’t cope.
(There are also, of course, plenty of quislings, traitors & apologists complicit in the depravity.)

I was hopeful we were seeing a kinder policy because of the decision to process asylum claims again and the repealing of various parts of the IMA, plus the Bibby closure & Rwanda cancellation. To do this is dangerous, ineffective and, as I say, regressive.

I cannot believe that the BBC are currently mooting the idea that that Trump’s plan for Gaza might be plausible and giving it any credibility whatsoever. Wtf?
Is this in the name of balance because ultimately there is only one solution and that does not include ethnic cleansing.

Scumbag farmers in tractors decided to block the A14 and A5 today with a 'go slow protest'.
There was no request for this, they did it illegally.
I hope the Police will be seizing their tractors and locking them up for 4-5 years just like Just Stop Oil.
