Here to learn and engage sensibly. Sometimes failing badly on both counts.
"They are not Fidel Castro. Much more Machiavelli." Seven months in the works, our Reuters investigation into how Syria's new rulers are secretly remaking the Assad-era economy via takeovers and deals with tycoons. W/ the brilliant @FerasDalatey reuters.com/investigations…
I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
Breaking: An Israeli airstrike just killed Adam Yahya Abu Harbid, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel, along with all members of his family, after targeting their tent in Al-Yarmouk market in Gaza City.
if you're wondering why 'the dam has broken' on Gaza, it's simple. Israel carried out their final solution. It's done. Every town has been flattened, everyone still alive is experiencing a level of famine they can't come back from. Criticizing it now is too late. That's why.
As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications This should also be banned Influence being bought in Govt Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy
OMG. So powerful, RTÉ. Platforming an arrogant washed-up hypocrite trying to absolve himself of 21 months of indifference by blathering on about Israeli society. How about having a Palestinian on??? How about having a Gaza holocaust survivor on? Do their voices not matter???
“Their government is out of control. It is a despicable disgrace.” Live Aid campaigner and musician Bob Geldof condemns the Israeli government’s role in the Gaza crisis as he speaks to @MiriamOCal amid mounting deaths from hunger. WATCH: @rtenews | #rtept
It is not mentioned in the @guardian article, but it is extremely important to know that on 13 January 2025 Keir Starmer’s government announced the creation of deregulated AI Growth Zones. Both the US and the UK refused to sign for the EU’s proposed AI regulatory framework at…
The level of outrage and shock from certain media outlets at what they’re now seeing and reporting - but couldn’t before - is outrageous and shocking when you follow the course of their reporting over 21 months. What flicked their switches ? 60,000 killed + 1 ? Is 60,000 the…

NEW: We went to a small Texas town where one Bitcoin mining facility uses as much power as the entire city of Austin. Everyone is town is affected by the constant noise from the crypto facility, even the animals. One resident told us: "Every person here is sick."
This should be the last ever Labour government. The party has lost any soul it once had. We are governed by genocidal technocrats.
"I’m joining the BDS movement calling for a sustained global boycott until it ends operations in apartheid Israel." Fashion and sustainability campaigner, Venetia La Manna, joins the BDS call to #BoycottZARA. @ZARA has chosen to fashion-wash genocide and apartheid. The fast…
"It's wrong to bomb a refugee camp but clearly if there is a military objective it can be legally justifiable". These were the words of David Lammy after Israel killed over 50 civilians in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza👇 declassifieduk.org/david-lammy-fr…
You helped. You gave Israel military support and diplomatic cover. Your complicity in this horror is unspeakable and indefensible
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
BREAKING: ALL communications with #Handala's crew have been JAMMED. We are losing contact with our crew, and there are multiple drones near the vessel. Keep your eyes on the #FreedomFlotilla tracker. Tag & message your governments & elected officials! freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/
Time for the United Kingdom to do likewise. All possible pressure must be brought to bear on the Israeli government to cease their unconscionable behaviour in Gaza. Has the world learned nothing from when it stood by & did nothing to prevent genocide in Bosnia?
France will recognize a Palestinian state, Emmanuel Macron says Macron says he will make a formal announcement at the UN General Assembly in September Comes ahead of emergency call with Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz tomorrow on pressuring Israel to stop its assault on Gaza
“BCG added: “The only UK-based organisation with which we understand the team interacted during this work was the Tony Blair Institute, as they have acknowledged in media reports.”” ft.com/content/ff156c…
Multimillionaire long-retired doctor, who benefited from free university tuition, a national merit award & a platinum-plated pension, with an international private practice & a private medical school, says today’s doctors aren’t worth the same as his cleaner. Shame! Go away!
Doctor strikes going ahead. A poor decision. I have never striked for a single minute in my fifty plus year career in medicine, and I never will.
What would be said if Jews were being shot n their hundreds trying to get food and water for their families? I am Jewish and I denounce it. Israel blocking aid from Gaza is creating ‘chaos and death’, say humanitarian groups theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
England's social care dominated by private equity & corporations. 2011-2023: 804 out of the 816 adult care homes closed by regulators were for profit. Profit margins of up to 35%-40%, little left for core services. When will Govt end profiteering? Watch the Minister's reply.
