How refreshing for a UK politician to call the press 'shit rags' rather than cowering in front of negative headlines.

If we aren't allowed to support Palestine on October 7th then you can't support Israel for the other 364 days of the year that they are committing genocide.

Deal?

This is how propaganda at Tory BBC works.

The story for them is not that the Tory politician is racist.

For the BBC the story is how to defend him.

Entrap, impoverish and enslave in a fully privatised corporatist hellscape. This is why they want to leave the ECHR.

To understand Starmer and Reeves growth obsession, watch Shanker Singham talk about SEZs.
My latest article for Substack digs into Singham's extraordinary influence over UK politicians, specifically his deregulatory framework for UK SEZs and enterprise cities.

To understand Starmer and Reeves growth obsession, watch Shanker Singham talk about SEZs.

Labour along with the Tories know that Brexit has rendered the UK capital hungry and desperate for growth.

The govt should be investing in NHS staff, not putting doctors at the start of their careers on the scrap heap. These newly qualified doctors have run up massive debts to get to that point, & the govt is then saying, sorry, no jobs for you.

Do you notice how Israeli politicians don’t feel there’s any need to conceal how repellent their politics are? Do you see how they are correct, there is no need to conceal it, because for two years they’ve been snorting at TV interviewers and telling them LOL fuck you, often with racist remarks.

One day everyone will accept Netanyahu to be pure evil. It will be a mainstream consensus. At that point he will be used as a convenient sponge for all the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated in his time. As if it all started and ended with him. Always remember - it was never just him

I am shocked and appalled by the arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven, where two people were inside.

No community should be terrorised for their faith or in their place of worship.

At a time when Islamophobia hits record levels, we need urgent action from the top of government to confront it.

Or is it that I'm saying things the Telegraph doesn't want to hear?

I suggest they might want to avoid our Party Broadcast this evening!

Courageous political leadership means telling an audience what they don't want to hear. Zack Polanski will never do that.
