There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

This is Shlomo Filber, a Likud's pollster and former Netanyahu confidant, saying in February that Israel is about to impose a "hunger regime" on Gaza. Three weeks later Israel cut all aid to the strip.
This is starvation policy, planned and implemented.

Iran’s bombing of Soroka Hospital is a war crime.

Israel’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, Al-Nasr Children's Hospital, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital & Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Gaza are war crimes.

It’s that simple.

Much enjoyed the launch of @proftimjackson.bsky.social’s new book #TheCareEconomy. A refreshing and insightful look at what the economy is really for (or should be). The only downside is that it highlights quite how depressing, reductive and trapped our political economy discourse currently is.

Enough media talk of Israel “hitting targets”. There’s no precision. The one target is Gaza, indiscriminately. An internationally-recognised genocide.

And no more “fragile ceasefire” talk. It was never a ceasefire if one side refused to cease fire.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.
