it is not journalism to repeat spin and slurs from anonymous political sources
Kim Il Starmer & his backroom thugs strike again. But languishing at around 15% in one poll, it's the 'rebels' who will have the last laugh. As will we.
This is ongoing torture. Israel is torturing children.
You can see her cover her ears and start running as soon as she hears the sound of an incoming Israeli strike. Palestinian children have become so used to bombs falling from the sky because the world has normalized their slaughter.
Suspending Diane Abbott for talking about how different kinds of racism manifest differently is, in fact, racist.
This is the clip of my interview.
We’re failing Gaza’s children. Seen through their eyes, our failure is a betrayal of their right to be children. History will judge this harshly. So will the children. We call for a ceasefire in Gaza, protection of children and release of all hostages.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…
Tomer the Bomber is taking a break from blowing up Gaza to have a jolly with his mates in Britain👇. What do most Brits think about this?
BREAKING: The head of the Israeli Air Force, Major General Tomer Bar, today touched down in Britain for a series of meetings with air force commanders at UK military’s “Air Tattoo” event at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire Bar’s been in position for whole of the genocide in Gaza
Of course people experience life differently depending on their skin tone. So many studies prove this. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
UK mainstream media has published nothing, literally zero, about the extensive British military + intelligence role in the Gaza genocide Part of it is the culture of obedience to power, but this previously secret D-Notice, sent on 28 Oct 2023, must be a large part of the story
"People who are writing island of strangers speeches should be a bit slow to sit in judgement on Diane Abbott who has been fighting racism all her life," Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti tells #PoliticsLive bbc.in/3TMmg1J
I just saw a Palestinian child with her head completely blown open, a man with half his body blown off, and someone carry a foot to place it with the remains of another body. Israel is carrying out the worst horrors imaginable on a daily basis in Gaza because no one stops them.
Doesn't give me much confidence that the resurrected SFI and capital grants schemes will last for long. If this gets through, why will they see funding environmental schemes as being of importance?
Solidarity with @RSPB and @WildlifeTrusts—we can’t afford this bill’s habitat destruction. Bend the rules, not nature! ✊
Oowh but our rebellion is only just getting started! Turf out the batshiX Planning bill! Vote of no confidence anyone? @DailyMail @dailytelegraph @ChrisGPackham
How many black men or women who had the lived experience of Diane Abbott were on the Labour cabal that made this decision?It is Orwellian theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Craig Bennett, CEO of Wildlife Trusts, tells me on @CHinchliffMP whip suspension: "I think this kind of behaviour shows extreme arrogance and weakness. Chris Hinchliff is much closer to the British public's views on nature than the government"
Extraordinary. They know every penny that impoverished and disabled families receive in benefits, can access their bank accounts directly, but they can't even tell how many billionaires pay any tax at all? Is it just me, or is something off here?
HM Revenue & Customs does not know how many billionaires pay tax in the UK, according to a new report by MPs The Public Accounts Committee says this is despite fact only a small number of people have this status - & the significant sums of money involved news.sky.com/story/hmrc-doe…
The driest spring since 1893. Evidence keeps growing that the climate emergency is an existential threat to our food security, nature, and the rural way of life. Those who recklessly argue we should go slow on tackling this challenge would do irreparable damage to our country.
BBC GUIDELINES mean that every time Benjamin Netanyahu is mentioned it should be added, "who is wanted on allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity" ANY presenter who fails to do this, will be in breach of the guidelines and may be sacked
Today Israel murdered every child in this photo. If these were Israeli kids we'd hear every western leader speak their names and every news channel tell us their story. They're Palestinians so have no names, no story and no value to western nations who "champion human rights".
Palestinians were gassed while waiting for food. A people starved, blockaded, bombed and now gassed as they queue for survival. And the world, once sworn to “never again,” looks on in silence. This is the full collapse of every moral lesson the world claimed to have learned.

When some Labour MPs voted to scrap the two child benefit cap Starmer suspended them from the Parliamentary Labour Party And now he's doing the same to Labour MP's who voted against slashing disability benefits The Labour right, making sure people know whose side they're on.
