France is about to recognise Palestine as a nation state. Should the UK & other G7 nations do the same?
ID Cards would be a good tool for online age verification & blocking childrens' access to harmful & porn sites, wouldn't they?
It seems @ZarahSultana & @JeremyCorbyn haven't been able to come up with a name for their new political party. Any suggestions?
What's your view on the new (but as-yet un-named) political party launched by @ZarahSultana & @JeremyCorbyn?
This is the United Kingdom addressing Israel and the world. The statement may be late but it is unequivocal. As accused, Israel can no longer be considered an ally. Please listen to it all and share widely.
The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.
The limited amounts of supposed 'aid' supplied to starving Palestinian families by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) appears to be little more than bait for IDF shooting practice. Are you okay with that?
Why is this being allowed?
🚨Israeli pilots are learning to fly advanced fighter jets with UK equipment, it can be revealed. A UK-based firm is exporting parts for Israel's M-346 Lavi, used to train Israeli pilots to use F-35s and F-16s. declassifieduk.org/israeli-fighte…
Should carrying this sign really be a criminal offence?
At last! @Ofwat has faced intense & deserved criticism over its failure to prevent sewage spills, protection of hefty executive dividends, and ballooning debts across England & Wales’s shambolic water companies. Do you welcome the news it's about to be scrapped & replaced?
It's just been announced that the voting age will be lowered to 16 in the UK by the next general election. Is this a good idea?
Is @TrussLiz a liar or just very stupid? She virtuously proclaims “I am shocked by the secrecy & cover-up” of the #Afghanistan scandal. But she was actually foreign secretary at the time of the data breach & part of the cabinet that approved the relocation of the ARAP Afghans!
Does supporting Palestine and opposing Israel’s brutal actions in Gaza make you a criminal? theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Trump says he doesn't understand why his supporters are interested in the 'boring' Epstein case. Can you help him?
It seems Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person in prison in connection to the Epstein case, is ready to REVEAL the #EpsteinClientList & testify in front of Congress but doesn’t have the go-ahead from Congressional Republicans. Why do you think that is?
Trump is starting to panic, isn't he?
🚨#BREAKING: President Donald Trump claims that Hillary Clinton James Comey and the Biden administration created the Epstein files, suggesting they may not even be real.
