(I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

Today, Israeli forces fired teargas at Palestinian schoolchildren who staged a sit-in in the occupied West Bank after settlers blocked access to their school.

It’s the first day of class since the start of the Iran war.

This is life for Palestinian children. The world does nothing.

Mahmood’s migration changes will deliver fraction of claimed savings, data suggests Exclusive: Analysis of government figures indicates public finances will gain £600m not £10bn if migrants’ access to benefits is reduced

Not only will Labour's hostile and inhumane immigration policies not provide the savings they claim, but they are also likely to create such massive external costs, including losses to key sectors and drops in income for the treasury as to crash the economy.

What is happening on the West Bank must not be forgotten

Founder of Starmer’s legal chambers condemns Labour plans to cut jury trials Geoffrey Robertson says proposals to reduce backlog are betrayal of party’s values and a ‘cure worse than the disease’

Powerful blow to the government's plans to cut jury trials.

Dear Wes Streeting: every sneer you utter is another vote for the SNP Labour’s Health Secretary says there will be no independence referendum regardless of what the Scottish people say. Wes Streeting is doing the…

Dear Wes Streeting, thank you for behaving as if you were Scotland’s colonial viceroy. Every condescending sneer from you, every imperious command, gets me what I want: one step closer to independence

Nigel Farage says something idiotic.

BBC: “He’s got a point!”

Average British voter: “BBC is a high quality news source”

And so the world needs to keep blundering along while the UK helps to destroy our civilisation.

I don’t know how often it needs to be repeated by transphobia is fascism front and centre. If you are transphobic you are a fascist regardless.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

So despite the High Court ruling that Palestine Action is not a terrorist group and arresting it's supporters for holding up banners was "unlawful"...

Today British police ignored the ruling and have made mass arrests of PA supporters across our country!

Aerial view of enormous crowd. Haven’t managed to source picture credit. Will post when I do

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

Quotation from Elie Wiesel: "Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented".

So...um... I can't be the only person thinking

"He's threatening genocide"

WTF???

Remove him before he kills more people!!!

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

Were it not for the optics, Israel would gladly round up Palestinians and put them in death camps.

And the majority of Israelis (and Americans) would hold their nose and look the other way.

Grenfell was tragic ‘but everyone dies in the end’, says Reform’s new housing chief Reform UK's Simon Dudley suggested post-Grenfell safety rules have gone too far

Reform doesn’t care if you live or die…

Israel has said it is not going to leave Southern Lebanon it is going to occupy it.

Southern Lebanon has 25% of the area and 20% of the population of the entirety of Lebanon.

The BBC reported this brutal illegal invasion as Israel 'keeping control'.

Left- Tel Aviv school principal says, "Arabs are inferior to us. That is why we can kick and slap Palestinians. We train dogs so they will bite them. That's why we shoot them. They're nothing"!

Right- Former IDF soldier explains how the IDF would invade homes of innocent Palestinians to cause fear

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication.

Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

Israel's Defence Minister "Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure."

Israel brag about their War Crimes and no one does anything.

if you voted labour, this is what you voted for

Reform UK Urged To Sack Housing Spokesman Over 'Disgusting' Grenfell Comment Simon Dudley said “everyone dies in the end”.

Reform housing spokesman Simon Dudley on Grenfell:

“Everyone dies in the end” and “fires happen.”

Dudley went on to add that there was too much regulation - the enemy of cowboy developers who are only interested in profit - but literally nobody else.

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

Doctors lose new jobs package as strike to go ahead The offer of 1,000 more training posts has been withdrawn after the union refused to scrap the planned six-day strike.

I get there are arguments on both sides but using workforce planning (which directly impacts patient care) to threaten a union over strikes is just plain wrong and simply denies the country the specialists it needs for the future
