🔴 Labour MP Graham Stringer signed an open letter drafted by a far-right group attacking the government.

He's also been hanging out with Farage's anti-abortion advisors and is still a director of the UK's leading climate science denial group - run by a Tory peer.

Heard a rumour that Rod Stewart's going to do his Three Musketeers theme song, but instead of Sting and Bryan Adams he'll be joined by Bob Vylan and Kneecap.

Israeli soldiers murdered these medical workers, buried them in a mass grave, libelled them as terrorists and then lied about it. One of the ambulance crews' last words were: "I only chose this path because I wanted to help people." www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Came across this on the bus home last night, an artist I don't know anything about, never listened to his music before, but the interview and the way he thinks spoke to me, so I bought the album.
Looking forward to listening.

This.

Those with power do not want others to have human rights - the rights you have because you are human.

That is why they sneer at human rights, use the media and propaganda to deride those rights, and cut off legal aid so the rights cannot be asserted.

And some unwise people clap and cheer.
The assertion of human rights is normally unpopular with those in power. That’s why we have them.

Saying it doesn’t make it so.

1) He’s stopped our cyber security against Russia.
2) He’s stopped sharing Russian intelligence with Ukraine.
3) He’s going to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs.
4) He’s stopped military supplies to Ukraine.
5) He’s called Z a dictator.

Fox won’t call him out.
Trump: "I got along well with Putin. And because I got along well, they say, 'Oh, he's so--.' Putin would be the first to say it ... Nobody's been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump."

Farage showing his adoration of Putin, if push came to shove he'd choose the bear over the bulldog.
Nigel Farage says he will always put "country" first.

Here's a reminder of which country he's talking about.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.
