Corbyn was definitely a racist but Farage is probably not because that’s the ridiculous state of the British media in the 21st century.

No “allegedly” not “according to the likud run war ministry” no mention of the near incredible IDF track record for lying. Just an assumption these murdering lying racist bastards are telling the truth.
Fuck the BBC, and fuck Israel

You might have thought Question Time was biased.
But you never realised how much.
UKIP never even had a single MP.

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die.
An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

It's not complicated though, is it? He's a bloodless institutional climber who hitched his wagon firmly to the Labour Right Blairism Redux project under Starmer, acting as one of its most proud and outspoken enforcers. Now, Starmer's a dead PM walking, he's knows he's fucked too, so he's pivoting.

If you ever see someone in politics or political reporting being startlingly blunt about the kind of stuff that has long been very obvious, you can guess “retired”, because you will be right nine times out of ten. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/one-...
One British politician admits he was wrong on Israel. Will others follow?
Alistair Burt, the former Middle East minister, has had time to reflect on his government's inaction over the slaughter of Palestinians - and his assessment is rightly scathing

i feel confident saying that zohran mamdani has likely never said or done anything as remotely antisemitic in his life as the horrifyingly islamophobic things being said and done right now by people in positions of power and authority in the jewish community in reaction to him

Who would they write a letter to? Anyone who’s loudly saying the war crimes are excellent and the RSF are fully entitled to kill as many people as possible, I guess. But that appears to be almost nobody, as you would expect.

I know this is Ireland, but I think Palestine will matter in elections worldwide...Mamdani is a good indication. Honestly, if it won't matter...if people watched a live streamed genocide for 2 years and then forget about it during the next election...you might as well throw humanity into the trash

It's too late for Labour. They've moved too far to the right and kicked out anything and anyone that even smells of left-wing. Going to take them *years* to wind back now. In current form they are toast.

Great article about the amazing Palestinian robotics team. For years my dream as a filmmaker was to portray Palestinians unrelated to war and occupation, but I was never allowed to do it. I'm always so happy when journalists tell these stories instead. Thank you Ben.
Next week, 5 teens from Palestine will head to Panama to compete in one of the world’s largest youth robotics competitions.
The goal? To win—and teach STEM to their peers displaced by Israel's war and occupation of Palestine.

An absolute masterclass in obfuscation from the BBC.
The scare quotes make a fact into an allegation, the headline suggests that they are struggling to find signs of torture, which is ABSOLUTELY not the case
The article explains that Israel destroyed all the forensic equipment and hospitals
