What is wrong with this woman? What made her think weaponising Russell Brand would be a good idea for PMQs? Has she forgotten the victims? Or indeed her hero Thatcher cosying up to Saville?!

So you did gaslight the public, didn’t you, @Ed_Miliband? You announced nothing but fig-leaf sanctions and performative gestures while the UK continues to sell arms to the genocidal Israeli war machine and award public contracts to firms linked to illegal Israeli settlements, helping sustain Israel’s system of apartheid. You’re complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people. Hope you’re proud of yourself.
AJ EXCLUSIVE: The UK awarded £10.7m ($15m) in new public contracts to firms linked to illegal Israeli West Bank settlements, despite UK gov’t pledges to punish companies that profit from settlement activity, an Al Jazeera investigation reveals. 🔗: aje.news/99ct5z

Just reported back to police station to answer police bail for 2nd September JSO. Got the most repressive police bail ever, including not to talk to 50 named individuals. Lead cop said police bail is not a punishment.

Lucy Beaumont on sky news just now was an unreal interview. She’s the whistleblower for David Walliams, and says her work will dry up because she’s the one who has helped the girls who were vulnerable. Girls who were suicidal because of what they’d been through. Very powerful.

If true this is outrageous. It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds. Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore. Labour stand for the hedge funds.
🚨BREAKING The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company. A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground. The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff. This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard. 112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water. A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration. And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way. @andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials. This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises? NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

The BBC Israel Would Say Files. The full results are in for both broadcast and articles. Analysis of 267 broadcast interviews between October 2023 and October 2026: - BBC presenters put Israel's case, in Israel's name, to guests criticising Israel's conduct in Gaza in 252 separate interviews. - They put the Palestinian case, in its name, to guests defending Israel's conduct in 15. - To better portray this disparity, our compilation of the BBC defending Israel in their own words now runs at 48 mins 12 secs. Our compilation of the BBC defending Palestinians in their own words runs at 2 mins 38 secs. - The plainest form, “Israel would say”, was put to critics in 75 interviews. “Palestinians [or any Palestinian group] would say” was put to defenders in 4. - 10 of the 15 Palestinian cases came in the first six weeks after 7 October 2023, and 5 in the three years after. Presenters were still putting Israel's case to critics in 2026. - The above point suggests an editorial shift to stop conveying what Palestinians are saying, but to continue conveying what "Israel would say". Analysis of 1,618 written articles, from October 2023 to October 2026: - When an article reported criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza, the BBC added Israel's position 49% of the time (1,771 of 3,648 claims). - When an article reported Israel's claims, the BBC added a Palestinian or UN position 38% of the time (914 of 2,431). A Palestinian position alone: 25%. - Put the two official sides side by side. When the authorities in Gaza made a claim against Israel, the BBC added Israel's position 58% of the time (334 of 575). When Israel's government or army made a claim, the BBC added a Palestinian or UN position 39% of the time (855 of 2,165). - Article by article: 71% of the articles reporting criticism of Israel gave Israel's position at least once. 53% of the articles reporting Israel's claims gave a Palestinian or UN position. - In other words, in almost half of the articles where Israel makes a claim, it goes completely uncontested.

The UK is an #atheist nation. Here's a bunch of religious nut jobs trying to force their sense of prudishness onto us all by criminalising women and sexual desires. Regressive law making by #Labour. Again.

An example of #racism
When you label everyone who disagrees with you far right you are rhe issue dude. Majority of people want to feel safe walking around at night especially women. You are lying to yourself if you think the people coming in are making the country better. Crime rates is just 1 indicator. You won't admit that will you. And treat them all the same while bringing in some people who hate Christian values hate our life style and would kill you if they could. It just baffles me dude. Go over see how they treat women where they are from you think that magically stops when they cross the boarder? Answer that

This is from someone acting exactly like a bot account. So no proof of their claim, lots of "trust me bro" efforts, and speaking for demographics he otherwise ignores. It could be a bot or someone choosing to post like a bot

Israel’s Channel 14: “You will die, you will starve, and your homes will be burned” “We will take your lands and build settlements on it” “People of Gaza, for me, let them starve to death” Israel openly declared its Nazi genocidal intentions and the Democrats provided the arms and bombs for them to carry it out.
Abby Martin: ‘I REFUSE to live in a world where the Gaza genocide is the price we have to pay for our PRIVILEGE & STATUS in the West.’ ‘To see the Democratic Party establishment subsidise a genocide of my brothers and sisters and colleagues, 200 journalists being hunted, hunted alongside their families, doctors, the entire medical infrastructure destroyed, decimated with my tax dollars in my name, and not being able to do anything about it… And to be told, “Go to brunch, go to brunch. The liberals are in power.” It has been absolutely catastrophic. And then to ignore the fact, to shout down the leftists, to not even give a Palestinian a voice at the DNC. That’s how much they hated leftists and Palestinians. That’s how much they thought that they could just cast them off. Biden bypassed Congress over 100 times to directly sell weapons to Israel, and then they turn around and think, “Oh, the socialists cost us the election.” No, it’s the genocide, stupid. It’s the economy, stupid. All these things are connected, and Americans can see it very clearly. With six dollars a gallon gas at the pump, with groceries 30% higher, all of this is connected, with ICE doing field executions in the street and seeing kids shredded every single day on our devices. No, we deserve better than this. That is what the status quo has been. That is what was deemed normal in society before Trump’s second term, so you know, I think Gaza really changed the world. It certainly changed me, and I knew this stuff before, but it made me realise the stakes are too high. There’s no going back. I refuse to live in a world where this is normal, where this is considered the price that we have to pay for our for our privilege and status in the West. It’s sick and torturous, and to know my colleagues are suffering still every day, waiting for their homes to be rebuilt, just waiting for the hope, the silver lining, that Democrats will do something to give them the right to return, to rebuild their homes, and we both know that’s not going to happen, and it sickens me.’ —@AbbyMartin on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post 👇

Replying to @PrivateEyeNews
This hyping up in PR makes sense because I could never get either of my children to read as much of a page as his books. I bought a batch second hand and donated them to charity in the end. More room on the shelf for some brilliant kids authors like @jk_rowling and Dav Pilkey

There was no such thing as white people in the 1600s. Europeans didn’t call themselves white. They called themselves English, Irish, German, Italian. And they hated each other. The English despised the Irish. Northern Italians didn’t even recognize southern Italians as equals. Germans fought everybody. There was no “white team.” No shared identity. Just Europeans killing Europeans over land, religion, and power. That’s the actual history of Europe. Then suddenly, mid-1600s in the American colonies, something changed. “White” was invented. Why? Because the colonial elite the rich landowners could count. They looked around and realized they were outnumbered. Badly. African slaves, European indentured servants, poor peasants who had no land and no future. Together, they were a threat. So the rich did what they’ve always done: they divided them. They created “whiteness” as a concept and gave poor Europeans just enough legal protections, small privileges, the promise that they’d never be at the bottom to make sure they’d never unite with enslaved Africans. It worked. Poor whites started policing Black people instead of fighting the system exploiting them both. And that’s the con. The whole history of America is rich white men convincing poor white people that their enemies are Black and Brown not the system keeping them all broke.

Companies with links to illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank have won £10.7m worth of UK government contracts since Ed Miliband’s pledge to sanction businesses facilitating the settlements. The foreign secretary said on 8 September that Andy Burnham’s government would “take action” against companies and individuals involved in settlement activities. “To those who finance or facilitate illegal settlements, let me say this: you will face the full force of UK sanctions,” he said, adding: “Settlements are illegal.” But businesses named and shamed by the UN for their involvement in Israeli settlements have since been awarded new public sector contracts, analysis by Tussell for Al Jazeera shows. The vast majority were signed with Heidelberg Materials, a German-headquartered firm. It has been granted 14 UK contracts worth £10.4m since Miliband announced sanctions. “Britain cannot credibly claim that it is imposing sanctions on Israeli settlements while letting contracts continue through the back door,” said former Labour leader and Your Party MP Jeremy Corbyn. “The fact that public money is still going to firms that could be targeted under the government’s own sanctions regime… is outrageous and frankly insulting to the public.” Heidelberg operates an Israeli subsidiary, Hanson Israel, which runs a quarry on land belonging to the Palestinian villages of Al-Zawiya and Rafat. In the UK, materials from Heidelberg will be used to resurface roads in Nottingham and Lincolnshire. Two contracts worth about £87,900 were granted to Motorola Systems to provide communications for the police service. The US company is the sole provider of the Israeli military’s 4G cellular network, according to the Who Profits research centre. Companies Fosun and Egis were also flagged in the Al Jazeera report for taking home contracts worth more than £100,000 each. Heidelberg, Motorola and Fosun did not respond to Al Jazeera’s requests for comment whilst Egis said it “formally expressed its disagreement” with being included in the UN database. Novara Media contacted the UK foreign office for comment.
