This clip...I have no words.

Gaza Humanitarian Fund whistleblower Anthony Aguilar describes ordering pizzas for their site while Palestinians starve.

Giuffre’s relatives call on the US president’s administration to release further information about the Epstein case.

The Israeli government is ordering its diplomats and their families to leave its missions (the embassy in Abu Dhabi and Dubai consulate).

This comes after Israel issued a heightened travel warning for UAE, cautioning its citizens to be careful about displaying Israeli or Jewish symbols in public.

Questioning Minister on 200+ peaceful protestors against what Israel is doing in Gaza, who were arrested under terrorism laws for alledgedly supporting Palestine Action. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social "Not appropriate for the Minister to stand here and say that it is none of his business."

Artificial Intelligence Act: MEPs adopt landmark law | News | European Parliament On Wednesday, Parliament approved the Artificial Intelligence Act that ensures safety and compliance with fundamental rights, while boosting innovation.

And when EU lawmakers held a proper debate about police use of live facial recognition, the clear human rights risks meant this kind of surveillance was almost entirely banned👇
www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

Met police to more than double use of live facial recognition Technology will now be used up to 10 times a week across five days, up from four times a week across two days

The fact that police facial recognition technology has been put on our streets and expanded repeatedly over nearly ten years - by two Governments - without a single piece of specific legislation being voted on by MPs is utterly outrageous and sinister.

Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza Substantial and well-documented evidence indicates a catastrophic public health emergency in Gaza (appendix pp 1–5), marked by severe food insecurity and alarming levels of malnutrition-related deaths...

Shameful beyond words.
"Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 years in 2024.2 This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda."

Palestine pledge could break the law, top lawyers warn Starmer A letter, signed by 40 peers, explains that the recognition of the territory could break the terms laid out for statehood in the Montevideo Convention

www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Correct that Palestine is not currently a state under international law, but wrong to say that the UK breaks international law by exercising its discretion to recognise anyway
Israel did not satisfy the criteria in May 1948 but USA recognised anyway 11 minutes later

Lawyers warn Starmer recognising Palestinian state could break international law Sir Keir Starmer says the UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September if conditions are not met.

So murderous genocide and intentionally killing women and children as they queue for food is fine, but recognising a Palestinian state for what it is, is against the law

I have never heard such bollox

If true, then the law is an ass and is there to be broken

During the 2017 GE Labour Party managers were secretly channelling resources & members cash (against party rules) to support candidates from the Lab right. Later, one of them asked for a back dated pay rise for all their hard work(!), helpfully adding "I left 100k in that budget"

Aaron Bastani back in 2020: "[Diane Abbott] was destroyed.. by people also within the same political party. We saw Heneghan in the leaked report choreographing harassment towards her with the media whilst he was a senior member of Labour management"

Heneghans just got a pay out from Labour

Yesterday the High Court granted permission for a full legal review of the govts proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. The case was brought by the groups co-founder Huda Ammori

After the result Huda talked to Novaramedia about the case.

Huda Ammori: ".. from the moment we found that Palestine Action was going to be proscribed.. a moment that will go down in history, & we want history to reflect we defeated the state, the people united against this oppression.. & I think this would be an incredible achievement"

Wes Streeting, who takes money from private healthcare companies and is part of a govt that stands on the side of bosses not workers. Or NHS nurses, who spend their working lives looking after people & saving lives.

I know whose side I'm on. Solidarity with our nurses! #GMB

#GMB: "154 people are reported to have died from malnutrition, including 89 children"

Solidarity with @aslefunion.bsky.social members on Hull Trains who are on strike today as part of a long running dispute in support of a colleague who was unfairly dismissed. Standing together ✊

"Israeli forces are targeting starving Palestinians across Gaza who are desperately searching for something to eat. More than 70 Palestinians searching for humanitarian aid were killed [yesterday]"

Jeremy Corbyn: "Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.. it is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful govt remain the same, end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions & stop the genocide, now"

Michael Lynk: Canada recognising the state of Palestine isn't enough.

One from the archives:

"Should [the Palestinians] have a state?"

Tzipi Hotovely: "The answer is absolutely no"

Tzipi Hotovely is the Israeli ambassador to the UK

Nida' Ibrahim reports on the dehumanisation of Palestinians in Israeli politics, media and society in the context of a report published by Btselem this week describing what Israel is doing as genocide.

This morning Israel bombed a tent in Gaza, killing a family of four. Reports say the family were burned alive.

"the GHF... it was supposed to be a new mechanism to get around Hamas, to stop supplies being diverted"

Yolande Knell repeating the Israeli narrative as fact, despite there being no evidence for it. Why not just read out the IDF press release each day & save yourself some time?

"We've always been clear we want to recognize the state of Palestine when Israel allowed us to. So this time buying gimmick will definitely be implemented if we don't find a way to renege on our pledge, which of course we will."

"The dehumanisation of Palestinians thats responsible for... legitimising [Israeli] support for genocide is not something thats just happened since Oct 7th"

Marc Owen Jones is doubtful that reports like the one by Btselem this week will have any effect on Israeli society

Hani Mahmoud describes the desperation of people as they search for food in Gaza.

Israel has deliberately engineered this chaos and collapse.

US Dr Ahmad Yousaf speaking from Gaza: "It doesn't take a doctor to recognise the signs of starvation, & the starvation didn't start this week.."

Israel Detains, Chokes, and Beats Up Amazon Union Leader Chris Smalls Meanwhile, there’s not a peep from mainstream media in the U.S.

Every corridor and corner is filled with wounded civilians sprawled on the ground, receiving treatment without beds, equipment, or even space.

Pools of blood stain the floors as overwhelmed medical staff, physically and emotionally drained, struggle to keep going.

Inside Nasser Hospital in Gaza, the scene is one of unbearable horror.

The facility resembles a slaughterhouse more than a place of healing—bodies of the killed Palestinians lie in rows, victims of a massacre that claimed 80 lives, 56 of them in one deadly attack. 🧵1/2
