Time for the UK government to axe Drax. If destruction of ancient Canadian primary forests wasn’t bad enough, now they’re damaging workers health. #AxeDrax #Drax

Saying they support the ban of Maccabi

Saying it's nothing to do with religion, or against Jews

4/4 We are truly through the looking glass when the overwhelming evidence is Israel is controlling Starmer’s responses to Maccabi Tel Aviv’s far-right football fans. They’re been given the red carpet treatment & free reign to cause chaos on the streets of Birmingham.

2/4 Who is Andrew Fox?
Andrew Fox is a pro-Israel propagandist who works for the Henry Jackson Society,
a hard-core pro-Israel organization.

He’s not even Jewish, there is no Aston Villa Jewish Villans Supporters Club.

This is beyond shocking
@skynewsrss.bsky.social presented a piece on fake Aston Villa supporter Andrew Fox as a victim of a racially motivated stabbing threat if he went to the game for wearing an Aston Villa shirt and a Star of David.
Sky actually broadcasted this.1/4

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all.

I miss living in a world with Benjamin Zephaniah - his words and integrity become more relevant and important each year.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Who runs Labour’s housing policy? The biggest profit-driven big developers, that’s who.

Not councils, not Mayors with carefully Green-influenced policies, not housing co-ops or charities, not even housing associations. And definitely not homeless families.
