Very impressed with BBC journalist (yes, BBC) Aiofe Moore on last nightโ€™s QT. We should certainly heed her warning on the current immigration debateโ€ฆ.

โ€œWe need to be very careful when politicians start punching down because it means they donโ€™t have any policies that can help you.โ€

First, Declassified UKโ€™s application for a parliamentary press pass is rejected for no valid reason.

Then Owen Jones has his pass to the Labour conference cancelled and now @novaramediaโ€™s Rivkah Brown is booted out!

You might think Starmer canโ€™t take any criticism. Youโ€™d be right.

Keir Starmer is about to give his keynote speech at the Labour Party Conference 2025 in Liverpool.

Will he say enough to reverse this tide of dissatisfaction?

We think not, but he will press on with his pro-Israel agenda in any case.

Reform MP Richard Tice has travelled to Israel to APOLOGISE to foreign minister and war criminal, Gideon Sa'ar
for Labour's recognition of a Palestinian state

Bowing and scraping before some of the worst people on this earth. If Reform are your heroes you need to take a look at yourselves.

Trump's plan for peace in Gaza revolves around a "Board of Peace", headed by Trump, which will include Tony Blair.

It makes Orwell look like an amateur.

Yesterday Starmer said heโ€™s known for 1O years that the left has got it wrong on immigration.

You might be forgiven for asking why heโ€™s said nothing about it until now, but, when running for the Labour leadership he actually said the opposite.

Digital ID cards are surveillance dressed up as security.

The supposed convenience and anti-fraud benefits are far outweighed by the privacy threats, exclusion risks, and unproven immigration impact.

Itโ€™s not just about trying to keep track of illegal migrants. Donโ€™t fall for it.

Israel spared immediate expulsion from UEFA after US pressure Following heavy pressure from diplomats, football association officials and other senior figures in the sport, Israel has avoided expulsion from the Union of

According to the Israeli press, UEFA was pressured by US diplomats not to ban Israel from its competitions

Thatโ€™s pressure on an organisation that the US itself is not a member of.

Special relationship? There can be no such thing with a snake like Trump | Aditya Chakrabortty Keir Starmer has spent the best part of a year cosying up to the US president. It will be no surprise when he gets bitten, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

US data centres will drain our energy resources and employ less than 40 people on minimum wage. The profits will go back to America.

A great read, warning of the deadly perils of Starmerโ€™s agreement with Trump allowing Americaโ€™s big tech to build mega data centres in the UK๐Ÿ‘‡

Why We Need Wealth Taxes Extreme wealth undermines equality, justice, and democracy.

A wealth tax isnโ€™t radical. Whatโ€™s radical is allowing a tiny elite to accumulate unimaginable fortunes while the majority are forced to accept less & less. Whatโ€™s radical is a tax system that punishes work & rewards speculation. Whatโ€™s radical is the idea that democracy should give way to oligarchy

Figures released last week say retirees will likely benefit from a 4.7% increase in the state pension from next April.

Immediately the billionaire press said the triple lock is unsustainable and should be removed, and that the state pension age should be increased

British Consultant Surgeon, Dr Nick Maynard has worked in Gaza on numerous occasions including at the Al-Shifa Hospital.

His first hand knowledge of the people working there and what they have experienced and witnessed is compelling testimony of the war crimes being committed by Israel.
