In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian
                According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape.

            I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.
He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

                Reform Is Losing Councillors Elected In May At An 'Unusual' Rate
                Reform UK has lost more than 5 per cent of the councillors it had elected six months ago, an analysis by PoliticsHome has found.
            
        
    
    
            One in twenty Reform councillors elected in May 2025 has left by the Autumn 
- half expelled/suspended 
- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected
An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers

            The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem. 
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

            Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

            The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

            All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??
Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

            When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire”  to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire
Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.
