Big, unpopular and so sneaking in tonight.

UK problems of NHS, housing, police, education weren't caused by migrants
But by 14 years of Tory austerity, when UK's millionaires got richer
Those problems won't be solved by Reform Ltd
Led by those same ex-Tory millionaires who caused them

A great example of AI power being abused
is by US/Israel using Palantir to precision target
schools & hospitals in Gaza & Iran
for obliteration, murdering thousands
of patients & doctors, children & teachers

(while Palantir poses as a responsible company
worthy of handling the UK's medical records)

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Dr Abu Safiya was kidnapped by Israel from the hospital he worked at in December 2024, he had been beaten, electrocuted, starved and denied medical treatment for over 15 months, he is on the verge of death.

But he is still being held without charge in an Israeli torture camp.

Israel’s introduction of death penalty for Palestinians a grave violation of international law - Social Democrats Israel’s introduction of the death penalty for Palestinians is a brazen violation of the Geneva Convention, according to Social Democrats foreign affairs spokesperson Patricia Stephenson.

Israel claims to be a modern, progressive country, and though this has long been exposed as fallacy, its decision to employ the death penalty for Palestinians reasserts the barbaric nature of its regime.

This is another tool to subjugate the Palestinian people.

US/Israeli attacks on Iran are not an act of self-defence, therefore illegal under international law. But that doesn't stop Micheál Martin from allowing US military flights using Shannon Airport/ Irish airspace in their illegal efforts.
Today Lelia Doolan, 91 yrs, begins her walk.

It is absolutely shameful that the Irish, or any other, government still continues to trade, not just with goods and services from the Occupied Territories, but with the state of Israel itself.
Supremacy is never the solution.
Now more than ever, this is an apartheid regime, and it must end.

Our press describes Israel's imperial expansion into Lebanon and Gaza (so far) as a 'ceasefire' despite more than 650 civilians being slaughtered since October - that's 25 innocent people murdered per week since the non-existent 'ceasefire' rebranding.

Rubbish

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of London to oppose the US-Israeli war against Iran and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The protest followed the UK government decision to ban the Al-Quds Day march, an annual pro-Palestinian procession.

My favourite film.

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank Mother, father and brothers aged five and seven shot in the head as they returned from Ramadan shopping trip

“Mother, father & brothers aged five and seven shot in the head, face as they returned from shopping trip”

Just another everyday massacre by Israeli “police”, one atrocity among countless others as US proxy Israel spirals into ultra-terrorism.

Those advocating for the scrapping of the carbon tax haven’t considered the impacts it will have on households across the country who are accessing funding to upgrade their homes to make them warmer and more energy efficient, as well as farmers who rely on Agri-Climate Rural Environment Schemes

Govt prefers to spend billions on armoured cars, fighter jets and more military hardware.

Nepotism, cronyism and the old boy network. In the permanent government I encounter arrogance and ego with a sense of entitlement. Not tarring all with the same brush.
