Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

Remembering Rosemary Nelson solicitor murdered on this day in 1999 by the loyalist LVF who we know from the Sean Brown inquest were riddled with state agents. Thoughts with Rosemary’s family.
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Donald Trump runs 13 US bases on UK soil with over 11,000 troops.
We never voted for this.
We say NO to being the lapdog of US imperialism.
Shut the bases down. Kick all US troops out NOW.
Sectarianism? Muslims in Manchester vote for a party whose candidate is a woman and which is led by a man who is both a Jew and Gay. Can we have more, please.
No war with Iran
The church hierarchy has no business telling you what to do or what not to do with YOUR body.
60 years ago today, Ghana's military overthrew president Kwame Nkrumah.
The UK Foreign Office conducted a covert propaganda campaign to help remove him, declassified files show.

Final weekend. One last push.
This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.
It's hope vs hate.
It's Greens vs Reform.
Hope can win.

Russia is struggling to win its war in Ukraine. The idea that Russia is a serious threat to either Europe or the UK is hard to justify. Rather than committing to spending even more on defence (war), we need parties that will commit to supporting disarmament.
The idea that Putin is somehow worse than Trump or Starmer is hard to justify. The UK has a track record of killing its own citizens as has the USA. All three have recently invaded other countries and killed their citizens. Wouldn't it be nice if we could remove all three?

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party.
He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war.
Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.
Well at least this exposes the lie that there are too many immigrants coming into the UK.
Posturing by the TUV. Have they called for Donald Trump to resign? Has anyone called for DT to resign?
We found a US document showing the US military owns 22 sites in Britain whose “replacement value” is $15.6bn (£11.4bn).
This number of sites is larger than previously believed and more than UK governments have told parliament.

Morgan McSweeney thoughts this morning. “I destroyed Jeremy Corbyn; I destroyed Sue Gray; I’ve destroyed Keir Starmer; I’ve destroyed the Labour Party. Job done!”
Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel?
They’re instead focusing on the possibility that Epstein was a Russian asset, writes @premthakker.bsky.social.

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

86% of our UK arms imports come from the United States.
We are far too reliant on Donald Trump - he is unpredictable and dangerous.
Stop hoping it's going to go away. Time to stand up to the bully and to rebuild our relationships outside of the USA.

if Nigel Farage is lazy enough to record a message for paedophile Ian Watkins in exchange for money, what else might he do for money without thinking too hard

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.
"The only flags Farage and Starmer have been waving this weekend are white."

Five days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law.
Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax.
