A Jewish MP was banned from a school because he was Jewish - or so our government and media have suggested.

That is a total lie.

This is yet another cause of how Israel's apologists are shamelessly deceiving you 👇

Presumably all these people defending Elon Musk and Twitter / X on the grounds of protecting free speech are up in arms at the ban on Palestine Action and demanding freedom for the hunger strikers... oh, no they're not, my bad.

People used to get locked up for distribution of child sexual abuse material - now the person responsible for distribution more of this stuff than anyone else is the richest man in the world.

The last time the BBC reported on the Palestine Action hunger strikers was Christmas Eve. We're now three weeks on, one of them has been on hunger strike longer than Bobby Sands when he passed away and the BBC are ignoring it on government instruction. Don't talk to me about left wing bias.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

The govt continues to peddle the lie that violent racist Israeli football hooligans were banned because they were Jewish.

This time its @alexjjnorris.bsky.social defending the right of foreign hooligans to rampage through our streets racially abusing & attacking people.

Maybe RFK Jr just wants to ingest more semen.
I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”

How about ending the war on the health of this country?

Hooray, I’m reading again.
But most books I’ve tried since Alice died turn out to include suicide or falls.

The year so far:

A Kiss Before Dying, Ira Levin
The Promise, Damon Galgut
All Fours, Miranda July

The last two were amazing. But it’s so tough to get through some passages.

I promise you the comments will be turned off of any official Facebook or Instagram page representing Reform announcing Nadim Zahawi's defection to their miserable party - because the comments would be full of their racist base being very fucking unhappy.

"Nadhim Zahawi, a few years ago you tweeted: 'I'm not British born Mr Nigel Farage, I'm as British you are. Your comments are offensive and racist. I would be frightened to live in a country run by you'"

Nadhim Zahawi has just joined Reform.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.
