Apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinians are documented, evidenced, relentless. All enabled by the so-called international community, including Ireland. We have legal obligations under international law to act to prevent egregious human rights abuses. #SanctionsNow

The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

I wonder if Nigel Farage is having the same problems but just not telling us, just as he won't admit to the almost complete non-appearance of all the promised 'Brexit benefits because then he might have to #ApologiseForBrexit "Crazy set of circumstances." via Joshua ABD

Just heard Farage on the news shrieking about how Burnham has no mandate to seek closer ties to EU. a) He can Fuck off b) show us any tangible benefit Brexit has given us c) Fuck off a bit further 🤨🤣

Andrew Hesselden@andrewhesselden.bsky.social

Freedom of Movement didn't just allow Europeans to come to Britain. It allowed British entrepreneurs to start businesses across Europe too. British workers could follow opportunities. British firms could recruit expertise. Why discuss only arrivals when it worked both ways?

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

Rupert Lowe MP was asking some surprisingly insightful questions about connection delays at last week's DESNZ committee meeting on the national grid. Then I realised he had declared a major interest in a battery storage development firm

Seems the economy doesn't actually need saving, despite Refuk's assertion. Going through their list - stuff to benefit their fossil fuel donors and 'Honest' Bob's property developer chums. And scrapping worker rights, renter's rights, etc. The millionaire's party, voted for by gullible racists.

The British syndrome, summarised: 78% of us say our high streets are important to us. But only 28% of us actually use their local high street even once a week – and only 53% of people said they used theirs *once a month*. We won't use it, and we won't lose it.

Cunningham had been sent onto national television to defend Reform against allegations serious enough to be assessed by the Electoral Commission and Metropolitan Police. Her opening problem was admitting she had not watched the entire investigation.

Indian waiters are consistently among the very best I've come across anywhere in the world for politeness, efficiency and kindness. Given a choice, I doubt even British teenagers would want to be served by British teenagers. Rupert Lowe is the pied piper of thick racists.

Farage, responsible for inflicting the Brexit disaster on the country, now campaigns with the slogan '100 days to save Britain' 🤦‍♂️ Farage, who insisted the only way to get migration under control was by leaving the EU now insists that leaving the ECHR is the only way to get migration under control 🤦‍♂️

Israel does not have a right to exist, in fact, for the good of mankind I think it actually must be destroyed. The genocidal apartheid state is about to continue it’s genocide of the Palestinians by doing to the West Bank what it did to Gaza. The entirety of Israeli society is racist and genocidal.

Zionism is racism but it is also antisemitism. Zionism says to support the jewish people you must also support the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. That is wrong and disgusting and has nothing to do with Judiaism at all.
