“I find it bizarre that we’re talking about the Israeli military like it’s a persecuted minority group. It’s a powerful army committing genocide.” I spoke to Nick Ferrari about the absurd attempt to charge Bob Vylan with ‘hate speech’.
They've had a decade of the mainstream treating any insane bullshit they care to fling treated with great reverence by the great and good. Why would they not think they can do whatever they want to whoever they want?
I wouldn’t begrudge anyone the schadenfreude of the Board of Deputies demanding the head of James O’Brien, but it’s still pretty alarming that the Lobby feels bold enough to go after a centrist media darling like him.

When are we going to take the appropriate action to bring about a full trade and arms embargo and concentrate the mind of Israel? Because nothing else is working. They're not listening. They're getting away with murder, every single day.
Your tweet is not the only one broadcast on Aden TV from Yemen, specifically from the window of #Manast_Program, but rather you, Karl; your person; your free pen; your blazing conscience, your anger biased towards the truth in a world that has sung for decades about the lie of…
I can honestly say few things bring me as much joy as seeing my tweets broadcast live on Yemeni state television 🇾🇪
Military source told The Times last year the UK spy plane Labour is sending over Gaza daily is “able to look at streets and blocks and houses and zoom in on specific movements…they have really good sensors” Intel gathered is given to Israel ICC needs to arrest Starmer + Lammy

Are you issuing your condemnation of McCluskey's susceptibility to lobbying as a member of Labour's NEC, or as a lobbyist for FTI Consulting's corporate clients?
Nothing short of a disgrace. Unite members will rightly ask how on earth this was allowed to happen.
Says the dullard who hired a rugby coach as his director of football lol
You belong in a secondary school politics class, and I wouldn’t expect a good mark either.
The British ruling class is a closed circle. See, for example, one Cunliffe delivering a toothless report on water while another Cunliffe spouts Israeli propaganda in support of the Labour government’s continuing complicity in Israeli apartheid and genocide. Political monoculture
The retirement age should be lower. As a rule we all work too many hours for too many years.
All options include "further tweets" and "unconditional weapons sales to Israel"
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor of the New Statesman, agrees with Tory MP Jack Rankin that the UK govt recognising the state of Palestine rewards terrorism. The New Statesman calls itself the leading progressive political magazine in the UK.
These daily surveillance flights take place in a conflict zone under intense bombardment. They have to be coordinated with the Israelis. Why would the Israelis do that if they are not receiving any benefit? Lammy is insulting our intelligence.
This morning David Lammy was asked on BBC Radio 4 about the RAF spy flights over Gaza. “Information from surveillance flights is not being handed to Israel then…?” His response: “We are not assisting and would never do that…” Not just a war criminal but a liar too.
If the UK’s daily surveillance flights over Gaza — running since the very start of this slaughter — aren’t supporting Israeli military operations, then what are they for? Does Lammy seriously expect us to believe we’re spending millions monitoring Gaza for no reason?

absurd bail conditions. Merseyside Police are taking the piss.
Audrey was released on bail just before midnight on 20th July. All four, Billie, Mark & Alan now released also. Bail conditions reportedly forbid them from mentioning anything about #Palestine and are not allowed into city center for 3 months. #Liverpool
I mean when I was a kid we had an ageing population, we had problems with productivity and all the rest of it. Yet people expected things to get better, not worse, and were encouraged to think this. It's just the tools to make it happen were abandoned.
“It used to be a common sense idea that the more prosperous we became, the less we would work. But for decades we have seen the opposite. We have the wealth to afford to lower the state pension age, the problem is that it is being hoarded at the top.”

Tom McPhail and Karl Hansen debate whether the state pension age should be lowered. It comes following data revealing that almost half of working-age adults are not saving for retirement. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604 🔓 Become a GB News Member: gbnews.com/support
