Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

The court found that Israel’s allegations against UNRWA – including that it had been complicit in the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel – were unsubstantiated.

So much damage done by Israel who have zero respect for International Law.

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.

When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.

They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)

Wouldn't it be nice if the BiBiC actually covered the potential loophole Israel has built in to ceasefire arrangements to continue its murder + destruction in Gaza?

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Freedom, for Spinoza, is not the absence of feeling — it is the mastery of understanding.
Reason lights the storm from within. 🌩️✨

To live by reason is not to be cold, but to be awake.
It’s to know that understanding your passion doesn’t make it weaker — it makes you stronger.

This idea feels radical even today.
In a world that often glorifies outrage or mocks reason, Spinoza whispers: “Understand yourself — that is the path to power.”

Spinoza’s freedom is an inner architecture — a harmony between knowing and feeling.
It’s the bridge between heart and mind, where clarity becomes liberation. 🕊️
