Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide.
That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed.
End all arms sales to Israel now.

Tell that to the families in Gaza — who spent another Eid under a genocide you still refuse to acknowledge.
Bombed with weapons your government still sells to Israel.
Starved under siege by a regime that you still won’t sanction.

Virginia Guiffre is dying after her car was hit by a school bus travelling at high speed…and not one news report, from Guardian, to the BBC, to Sky News or the Independent, has even mentioned that there was another driver involved. That’s journalism 101 in a road traffic accident. This stinks.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Israel has repeatedly defied the UN, its resolutions & international law. Member states must act.
Yet at PMQs, the Prime Minister said his government is “doing all we can” — except imposing sanctions, ending all arms sales, military support, trade & diplomatic ties with Israel.

So that’s both of Trumps alleged ceasefires that have failed within days. He’s such a moron that he think’s he can broker ceasefires with a phone call, and then they just laugh at the senile old lunatic and carry on regardless.

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million.
It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts.
This is austerity 2.0

So simply by sharing this post, nefarious characters could see it and be encouraged to vandalise even more Tesla’s until they become utterly useless and the company collapses? Well we wouldn’t want that 🤣🤣🤣
Oh no. I warned people as soon as Leon started supporting Krasnov to sell their Tesla before it’s too late. I would send an email to Leon asking him to insure it if you can’t sell. He’s good for it 😂

You have to be a certain kind of imbecile to buy into the idea that these little shit house tossers could form a government. Reform is imploding, just like every other iteration of pseudo fascist political movement they try to start. Take the money and run, that’s the MO.
this is the stuff that goes viral on twitter these days
literally no one on earth thinks it's far right or chauvinistic to go to the gym or have a beer
where do they find these totally obvious straw men
