This is part of a good 2023 Russian joke during the Sweden / Finland accession issue. When God heard that all Russians automatically go to heaven, heaven applied to join NATO. (Brits & Russians do share a certain sense of humour).

UK antisemitism β€˜allowed to grow’, Jewish security group says before pro-Palestine protests Head of policy at Community Security Trust calls Saturday’s planned protest against ban on Palestine Action β€˜self absorbed and insensitive’

I've emailed the newspaper asking for clarification of the evidence used to form the basis of this article. I wonder if quotation marks are replacing some research here.πŸ€”

Perhaps, if British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud believes pro-Palestinian protests should be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, the government could also cancel its arms shipments to Israel, as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide .

Small boats should be known as 'Brexit boats', top Lib Dems urged

To be more accurate we should call them Farage’s Brexit boats?

There’s no #PMQs this week (Keir’s running out of ministers to wrongly defend), but fear not because #AskBinface is here to fill the gap! Send me your posers and policies, and I’ll answer them in the next edition of my podcast Trash Talk, which is a 50th episode special!

Many people in the UK had no idea who Charlie Kirk was before yesterday. Now, the BBC is running a whole programme on him. Strange that they see his murder as more significant than Israel’s assassination of the Prime Minister of Yemen. #bbcbias

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Reform and X are not Britain, as John Curtice shows, though this loud minority voice thinks it is

Migration bad for economy?
32% of public - but 73% of Reform

Bad for our culture?
31% of public - 81% of Reform

Rights for ethnic minorities have gone too far?
18% of public - but 49% of Reform

Nigel Farage called a β€˜Putin-loving free speech impostor’ during bumpy US congressional hearing Democrats accuse Reform leader of being a β€˜Trump sycophant’ as he decries β€˜awful authoritarian’ situation for free speech in the UK

A remarkable failure of UK politics that Nigel Farage is being held more accountable for his views to Democrats in US Congress than he is in British parliament or media.

RT has been quite "successful" in the UK, what with the Alex Salmond show, and a broad sample of politicians appearing on the channel, including, of course, the current member for Clacton. Maybe it's mission accomplished here from their POV, even before 2022.

Radioactive water from UK nuclear bomb base leaked into sea, files show Exclusive: Polluted water was released into loch near Glasgow because Royal Navy failed to maintain 1,500 water pipes, says watchdog

The reckless lack of care at what should be the most secure site in Britain is utterly jaw dropping. Never mind diplomatic talk of β€œsuboptimal” plans & β€œshortfalls in asset management” - this is a story of unforgivable negligence & cover-up - just shameful

Here's Home Sec Cooper with the Israeli ambassador who endorsed the complete decimation of Gaza ('every school,every hospital, every home'). Yvette doesn't count such language as terrorism. The other photo is 83 Yr old Rev Sue Parfitt. She calls for an end to genocide. Apparently THAT is terrorism.
