Journalists who have taken until now to speak out about Israel's genocide have no excuses.

All the evidence was there from the beginning.

The likes of @scotnational.bsky.social called it right - and you treated them with contempt.

A reckoning is coming 👇

As the UK and EU carve up fishing rights, I don't give a damn which party gets to trash our marine ecosystems by overexploiting fish populations, ripping up the seafloor and killing vast numbers of "non-target" animals. I just want this orgy of destruction to stop.

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty.

So I asked the Chancellor — who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter — if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.

Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.

These political choices are cruel.

This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Starving children is a war crime.

UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

Israel has announced a total blockade on food and essential supplies to Gaza, starving 2 million of basic necessities.

This is a continuation of genocide.

Until the government enforces a full two-way arms embargo and severs economic & diplomatic ties, it is directly complicit.

Shameful.

Labour talk about difficult decisions and tough choices.

The choice this time? To cut the foreign aid budget.

Why are the 'difficult choices' never taxing the wealth of the super rich?

Look, socialists largely deserted Labour after Starmer incinerated his promises and told us to find a ditch and die in it.

But if you’re a liberal still backing Keir Starmer after he incinerated the foreign aid budget, how have you not died from terminal embarrassment

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely
