Small point but the cease fire started under Biden but was broken under Trump when the attacks got worse & the aid supply severely restricted causing famine
Donald is a crooked property developer not an honest broker

I don’t think they plan to invade theUS they’ve obviously bought President but want a top range air force
In the 60s the UK were training Saudis on Lightnings on airfields run by US Corp of engineers but at least the airfields were in Saudi Arabia
But the whole free plane shit is despicable

First we are seeing Palestinians walking back up to Gaza City to find their houses flattened & dig thru the rubble with their bare hands to find the dead

Will they use the planes in Blue cities to back up ICE if state governors ban the use of the National Guard ? 🤬

To those of us on the outside it is perhaps a day for respectful reflection
It doesn’t feel like VE day & considering the biased 20 point plan & the suspicious yellow line some people feel it is too early to dispense with the protests
This certainly isn’t the end of the problem

The problem isn’t over but the emphasis has changed

The yellow line is suspiciously like the riviera plan

Returning Palestinians dig for bodies in the rubble with bare hands

If Trump had an affair with Bondi ( assuming he hasn’t already ) could he be charged with having an offensive person on his weapon

Jack Hopkins-The Original @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 1d

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

To be clear here is the yellow line that the IDF pull back to leaving a slice on the coast awfully like Trumps riviera plan & excluding what little arable land exists
Don’t trust the 20 point plan

Many people deplore fact that pro Palestine marches are continuing but this shows exactly why they are needed
The 20 point plan was produced without Palestinian input & does little to protect their needs
This layout is more like phase 1 of Trumps riviera plan than overall rebuild as was proposal

The war is only paused & the peace process is biased

Last week these people were forced to march the other way
The homes they are returning to no longer exist

Trump will never give up this dream
Watch every step

Can anyone explain why Starmer doesn’t stop this lunacy

EuropeanPowell @europeanpowell.bsky.social · 20h

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Wouldn't it be nice if the full focus was on María Corina Machado and what she's done rather than how somebody else is going to react to her being awarded the Nobel?

This scheme is worthwhile providing at least one safe legal route but any talk of deterrence is bollocks
