FINALLY the BBC starts covering what we’ve all already seen.

“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.”

Reform and Labour are both funded by the transnational ZioNazi criminal enterprise.

The top funder of Reform UK is Christopher Harbourne, who also has citizenship in Thailand under the name Chakrit Sakunkrit.

He is also the largest single shareholder in arms firm QinetiQ, which exports UAV drones to Israel for use in the Gaza genocide.

It needs emphasising.

Starmer’s government are not highlighting how bad Brexit was for the economy, because they’ve had some sort of epiphany.

They have known since 2016.

They’re using that fiasco to weaponise against Reform out of partisan idiocy.

They have no solutions and no vision on this.

Sargassum twice the size of the USA is bad. Very bad. It’s blocking light to our coral reefs, emitting toxic gases, rots seaweed, & deprives fish of vital oxygen. This is caused by-you guessed it-humans & our inability to care for our Earth.

The Starmer government is:

* Not doing anything on #ClimateCrisis
* Battering people on benefits
* Supporting a #Genocide
* Flogging off the UK to corporations and tech bros
* No social housing
* Grovelling to Trump

It's the worst government of my lifetime.

(Reuters) - A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday that Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland despite objections by the leaders of the city and state, giving the president an important legal victory as he dispatches military forces to a growing number of Democratic-led locales.

I‘m so unimpressed with Labour‘s line that whether Prince Andrew is should be investigated and held accountable for being a rapist friend of Epstein is ‘a matter for the royal family‘. It isn‘t, it‘s a matter for democracy and the rule of law. Abject cowardice.
