Getting so many followers from Palestine desperate for donations and my heart goes out to every one of them. I've donated to UNWRA & hope that all of these people can be helped. You can donate at

Absolutely. They're treating it all like a game.

Old fools with not enough time left to atone for their evil deeds.

How many US arms manufacturers field tested new weapons in Gaza?

This is how they perpetuate their war machines.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

"As uncomfortable as it may be to many, Israel’s current apartheid policies took shape in the lead up to the Holocaust when Nazi Germany and a small group of influential Zionists formed an alliance to build their ethno-nationalist states."

“In the end, collaboration with the Nazis by a small group of Zionists broke the global boycott against Germany, weakened anti-fascist resistance worldwide, and contributed to the genocide of Europe’s Jews.”

If you support Starmer, you are supporting Zionism, and you are supporting neoliberal austerity policies, you are also supporting the dismantling of the foundations of the Labour Party, and Blue Labour’s purging of the left. You are supporting a war criminal who does whatever Trump wants him to do

Unfortunately we have a parliamentary election in Scotland in 8 months but there's still 4 years till the UK general election. I seriously doubt Farage's wee project is going to last that long, considering the lifespan of some of his councillors and MPs.

Ed Jennings @edjennings.bsky.social · 1d

Another one falls in Kent.

Reform has suspended county councillor Robert Ford after a complaint was made about him by 'several female members of staff.'

The party said that Cllr Ford refused to engage with the complaints process, so he has had the whip removed pending a disciplinary process.

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.

Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Farage wants to abolish Scotgov at Holyrood.

That's why SP26 is so important.

Trump's chaotic federal shutdown
-war on Democrat-voting cities
-ICE thugs lifting people off the street for being the 'wrong' colour

That's Farage's plan for UK.

So don't vote Reform.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).
