Whether it's loads of people in asylum hotels, on sick benefits, or waiting for trial, these backlogs are all exactly what you would expect from cutting the services that handle these things, to the bone

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Imagine Reform coming to Falkirk just to announce you have your first defection from the House of Lords.

"People of Falkirk, a man who is just like you, LORD OFFORD! From his background as a New York Banker to becoming a Lord after donating £147 thousand pounds to them"

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

“Instead of telling patients ‘I don’t know what’s wrong,’ we should be saying, ‘This meets the criteria for Long Covid.’”

Although the info isn’t groundbreaking, hope looks like the AAMA educating medical assistants on what Long Covid is.

Plus offering CEUs.

with some bodies left to decompose or be partially eaten by dogs. Gaza officials and the United Nations estimate about 10,000 Palestinians remain missing from Israel’s more than two-year assault, while the official death toll recently passed 70,000.

Israeli forces have killed seven more Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in Israel’s latest violation of the ceasefire that was declared nearly two months ago.

All in one day:

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.

Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

No one knows better than Holocaust survivors where anti-Semitism leads.

No-one who is not wilfully ignorant - or is themselves as openly fascist as Reform are - can be in any doubt that Reform in general and Farage in particular are deeply racist and antisemitic.

Tom Cotton’s tale makes no sense: A drug boat can’t reach the U.S. from Venezuela without endless refueling, a drone-hit vessel can’t keep going, wounded survivors can’t “fight,” Europe-bound coke isn’t killing Americans—and Trump pardoned a man tied to 400 tons of U.S. coke.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

UK Labour being bigoted...
Maybe girls should all just join the Lodge for wholesome unbigoted fun.

Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Last week, the United Nations reported more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7, 2023. Violence in the West Bank and Gaza is “directed toward getting Palestinians to leave,” says Bashi.

When Guides as an organisation are saying very clearly they don't want to exclude trans girls, this does the opposite of telling girls they can say no.

Dear UK - let's stand with our fellow humans around the world.

Fuck Starbucks.
While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line!

Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders.

Listen to what they had to say.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.
