In tomorrow's paper: As Israel continues to deny genocide after the ceasefire, we publish the damning words from Israeli politicians and media showing how the atrocity came to pass.

Tell me this is not genocide, or ethnic cleansing. Like Srebrenica and Rwanda the world just watched.

Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill"

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

I’m afraid that if you emigrate to Dubai for the tax breaks and 24-hour security, you really should give up your citizenship here for someone who wants it.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Eight Reform UK councils have indicated that they will raise council tax next year after struggling to find huge cuts in public spending.

That’s despite Reform UK flyers during the Local Elections criticising councils for doing just that.

Never trust a Reformer.

Thank you for sharing the video. It's so important that the remains stay exactly as they were. In The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Heather Morris tells of the sabotage of Crematorium 4. Those souls were so brave.

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits.

New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues.

This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.

More disgusting lies from the neoliberal dogsbody - second in command of the dogshit brigade.
What's worse? His lies about his associates.... Or his sucking up to the oligarchy, both here and in Russia.
