This Palestinian man shed tears of joy upon finding his home in northern Gaza still standing.

Thousands of Palestinians are returning mostly to rubble in the north, following the pullback of Israeli forces under the ceasefire terms.

“Reform seems to do very well at gaining elected officials, but not so well at keeping them. Since May, they have shed a remarkable 24 councillors for a variety of very embarrassing reasons, including losing eight in September alone.” @pimlicat.bsky.social

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

The Nathan Gill scandal should be huge news so why has the British media been mainly silent about it? (I think we know 🤔)
Here's Fiona Bruce shutting down any mention & acting like the audience aren't interested.

Imagine being the UK diplomat having to respond to these "concerns" about how intel is handled, knowing that on the other side the people in charge are Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and Donald Trump.
White House anger over UK spy case fiasco
US warns of damage to shared intelligence
Caroline Wheeler Political Editor
George Grylls
Washington Correspondent

The White House has warned Sir Keir Starmer that the failure to prosecute two alleged Chinese spies risks undermining the special relationship and could threaten intelligence-sharing between Brit ain and the US.
President Trump is understood to be concerned about the UK's reliability after charges against two Britons accused of spying for Bei jing were dropped. The case against Chris Cash, 30, a former parliamentary researcher, and Christopher Berry, 33, an aca demic, collapsed last month after the government failed to provide evidence that China was a threat to national security.
A senior Trump administration official said: "The United States has been warning allies about the Chi nese threat to our combined national security since Preside Trump first came into office in 2017. The US government exercises mation with foreign governments subject to adversarial coercion and influence. We are especially
careful in jurisdictions where our adversaries can act with impunity." Senior Republicans insisted that
the prosecution go ahead. John Moolenaar, chairman of the House of Representatives' China commit tee, said: "As a target of [Chinese state) espionage, it is my hope that the UK government will not allow this case to falter and will take the steps necessary to ensure a clear message is sent and proper justice is served."
Trump's administration has pre viously warned against allowing a Chinese mega-embassy to be built near London financial centres. The American president is understood to have raised the matter person ally with Starmer.
While the prime minister is sof tening Britain's position on China, Trump reignited his trade war with Beijing on Friday, raising tariffs to 130 per cent after China blocked the export of critical minerals used in the defence and tech industries.

It’s got to be infuriating for Americans that in addition to the fascist takeover, these fascists are just really, really dumb.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Jenrick would make a pact with fascist thug Yaxley-Lennon if it got him into power. He’s a moral abyss. And the harm he does by pushing our political debate further and further to the ugliest, darkest corner of the far right is forever unforgivable.
However, if the polls do tighten and the chances of an outright Reform victory recede, then it is very possible that we could see some form of new alliance between a
Jenrick-led Conservatives and a Reform-led Farage. After all, if Jenrick is willing to get into bed with the likes of Elon Musk and
"Inevitable West" then a coalition with Farage is not going to trouble him too badly.
However, even if Jenrick does fade into obscurity, his current rise is still a highly alarming moment in our politics.
After decades in which the mainstream right of British politics has sought to maintain a cordon sanitaire between themselves and the far-right, that barrier now appears to have been irretrievably broken.
The result is that formerly moderate politicians like Jenrick, whose nickname in the party used to be "Robert Generic" due to his middle-of-the-road views, now sees a lurch to the far-right as being the only viable way for him to gain power.
Indeed far from being a disqualifier for high office, it now appears that sharing the extreme views and associations of the far-
right has become an actual requirement for advancement on the right of British politics.
