Couldn't agree more. Absolutely shocking. Keir Starmer and David Lammy are prepared to see up to eight young British people die rather than moderate their support for Israel even to the extent of speaking to those on hunger strike. Disgusting and intolerable. Should be lead story in every newscast.
Nothing suggests systemic pro-Zionist bias in the British media more than the bizarre lack of reporting on the Palestine Action hunger strikes.

Political prisoners, not convicted of any crime, being left to die. The UK government refuses to even discuss it. Most of the mainstream media covers it up.

We need to urgent action now. And longer term, we also need to ask - what kind of country has the UK now become?
Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial.

We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️

In case you are wondering, the backlog of asylum applications, at this point, in August 2023, was about 175,000.

Far from "clearing it" by the end of that year, Jenrick resigned to pursue his leadership bid. The backlog left behind by the Tories eleven months later was about 225,000. ~AA
A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

a “landmark” deal that will add £4.8 billion to the economy, around one fifth of one per cent. A new customs union with the EU would boost the economy by 2.2 per cent, more than 20 times what Britain has gained from the long sought-after Indian agreement.

When, during the local election campaign, did mainstream journalists mention Farage's links with Russia, Trump, and Andrew Tate? The mainstream news media is helping Farage and fascism by turning a blind eye to the damning truth of who and what he is.

When voters lent you their votes in order to get the Tories out and work toward rejoining the EU, it's seriously unwise to imagine you'll be lent those votes again after five more years of blanking those voters.

Don't add 10% to USA imports, agreed, it just hurts us.

But immediately call off trade deal talks. Immediately call off state visit.

THE biggest thing we can do to hurt Trump and Putin, is to immediately apply to join the EU.
