"The UK has been dining out for far too long on fond memories of Britain’s wartime heroics. It is time for the UK to join the 21st century, and to understand its place as a small island off the coast of Europe, whose security and fortunes are inextricably intertwined with that continent." 👌

Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Senator Bernie Sanders calls on the democratic world (Europe) to condemn Trump's "rank imperialism".

But his words have fallen on deaf ears here in Europe, where our leaders have been too scared to criticise the US invasion of Venezuela.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

I'm old enough to remember when
the British media derided and sneered at
countries which held political prisoners
for lengthy periods without trial
as uncivilized banana republics

Now they totally ignore
British political prisoners
on hunger strike
hoping they die quietly

That's 'progress'

Suella Braverman was famously inspired by the thought of a Telegraph front page showing a plane taking off for Rwanda.

This is the image that inspires Shabana Mahmood.

Labour tells Refugees: UK is not your home! - BBC Debate YouTube video by Femi - F Politics!

BBC Debate:
Shabana Mahmood: Illegal immigration is tearing the UK apart.

NO!
UK politicians are tearing us apart by pointing at refugees, to cover up the poverty they've caused!

Labour's 20-year waiting list for refugees is just performative cruelty.

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

For much of the 1960s and 1970s, Prince Andrew was second in line to the throne and could - had tragedy struck - have become king three years ago.

Those who oppose a republic on the not entirely convincing grounds of "I don't want a President Farage/Blair etc" might do well to contemplate that one.

These images will never be erased from Windsor Castle. They're forever part of its history now. The government did this. The king did this. They brought shame on the UK and the monarchy by inviting one of the worst criminals in modern history for a second state visit.

Congratulations to everyone who gave out and proudly displayed EU Flags at tonight's Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall!

Sady, following today's Idiot Rally in Central London, our own national flag is no longer a symbol of unity and pride.

But this one is! 🇪🇺

Why is Tommy Robinson's crappy march plastered to the BBC?

They had marches for Palestine 100x bigger than this and the BBC barely mentioned them in the daily news.
