Preliminary statistics collected by Euro-Med Monitor following the ceasefire reveal shocking figures about #Israel’s genocide in the #Gaza Strip, documenting that more than 270,000 people, around 12% of the total population, have been killed, injured, or detained since 7 October 2023.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

Worth recalling that the UK government barely lifted a finger to help British citizens who were detained in Israeli torture camps after trying to bring aid into Gaza.

Yet the full weight of the British state is lining up behind Israeli football hooligans

The SNP has officially lodged a parliamentary motion that would force the Labour Govt to introduce legislation to remove Prince Andrew’s dukedom immediately.

Stephen Flynn, the SNP’s Westminster Leader, has said that ‘power and privilege has protected those in the Epstein scandal for far too long'.

I grew up in a version of Britain where you could go and study whatever you wanted at any age, because my country valued having an educated population, & universities were properly funded to enable that.

It would be absolutely brilliant to live in that country once again. 💚

🤯 The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026.

🧑🎓 Education should be a right, not a privilege.

💚 That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

I just found a record of a family member, his wife and 5 children, who were booted out of a parish because they were poor.

Their original parish was told to take them back and house and feed them under the poor laws.
Homeless and hungry, literally carted back home.

Japan has only 2% immigrants, but they, who have been imported to do the jobs the Japanese don't want to do, are the problem.

And *only Hamas* did things that they shouldn’t?

Nearly 70% of verified deaths in Gaza are women and children, UN report finds

The findings indicate a "systematic violation" of international humanitarian law principles, the UN said.

How is this allowed. Aren't there laws and by-laws and a need for a democratic debate, before something like this is, can happen?

The price tag for Trump's gilded White House ballroom
just went up from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000 -- a 25% increase

In true Trunp fashion, the 90k sq ft ballroom will eclipse the 55k sq ft, six story White House 🤦🏻‍♂️

Trump sending 200 US troops to Gaza and allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho is not going to go over well with the AMERICA FIRST MAGA movement.

Clearly, he no longer cares, but this will likely cause more fractures.

“A 55-year-old Palestinian woman has been taken to hospital after being clubbed over the head by a masked Jewish settler as she was picking olives.”
