Labour won't redistribute wealth from billionaires.

But they will seize belongings from those fleeing war and persecution.

Absolutely disgusting. Asylum seekers are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity just like anybody else.

It's class war. Open, indiscriminately violent class war. It's colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, fascism claiming the lives of innumerable people, children, just to acquire some land, some oil and gas, to get more imaginary money for their imaginary hierarchy games while the world burns.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

I do not deny antisemitism, any more than other racism. But the fact, that protesting the genocide of another set of people. is being viewed as antisemitic, shows how far antisemitism has been weaponised.

Israel committed piracy by illegally intercepting the #GlobalSumudFlotilla in international waters.

Human rights defenders, from 46 countries, including Greta Thunberg, were abducted as nearly 40 vessels carrying aid, for genocide & starvation stricken Gaza, were stopped. #3E

There is a real story here Niall if you'd care to write about it, someone is leaking Garda vetting information for political gain. Breaching confidentiality and GDPR requirements. Every underage coach, every volunteers data is not secure. Confidence in vetting undermined. That's the story. #Aras25

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Greta Thunberg and the Flotilla have made their last stop, they are now less than 1000 miles from Israel

Sometime within the next 6 days Israel is going to try to stop them

The people of the world stand with them, it's time the Governments did, they must be protected

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

Genocide deniers have been left with nowhere to go.

A new UN report cements the overwhelming consensus that Israel is committing genocide.

Genocide deniers should be treated as beyond the pale.

That Keir Starmer's government would

a) swiftly become unpopular and

b) the far right would surge as a result

was entirely predictable.

It was predicted.

I predicted it before Rishi Sunak called the election, because it was obvious: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.

Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.

The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Probably the most important but neglected scandal about Mandelson.

Epstein was close to Peter Thiel. Thiel had secret meetings with Cummings and Johnson before Palantir’s 100m contract

Mandelson’s Global Counsel was pitching Thiel’s Palantir to Starmer.

What a carousel of cronyism

In the middle of the Charlie Kirk assassination US Trump Republicans were busy blocking the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
US Senate Republicans blocked an amendment introduced by Democrat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that would have released the Epstein files.

Only 2 Republican senators, Rand Paul and Josh Hawley, broke ranks and joined Democrats in supporting the measure. #OpDeathEaters

More extraordinary still is the sanitising of Kirk's politics. Kirk was - and this is just a straightforwardly factual statement - a far right activist. And here's a former British Prime Minister not merely mourning his death or condemning his murder but actively *praising* his politics.
We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder.

Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.
