Despite internal EU findings that Israel may be breaching its obligations, the bloc has failed to act. Sanctions have targeted a handful of โviolent settlersโ and figures like Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, but not the broader military and state structures responsible for mass murder and mass destruction in Gaza. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said โobviously itโs not a ceasefire if the guns havenโt ceased,โ adding that โeven if the killing has stopped, the dying hasnโt.โ In reality, roughly 600 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the mid-October ceasefire announcement in continued Israeli strikes and shootings across Gaza. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz butted in, claiming more than 4,000 trucks per week have entered Gaza since Sharm el-Sheikh, adding โitโs not enough.โ UN data shows closer to roughly 250 trucks per week โ not 4,000. @MustafaBarghou1 | @kajakallas | @KSAmofaEN | @USAmbUN

Quite rightly, Scotland's NHS has not given Palantir access to our records.
England's Wes Streeting, however, has said he will 'hold the door open' to privatising England's NHS.
Palantir's access to England's NHS records is a very slippery slope.

10.02.2026 09:31 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform By Henry Saker-Clark The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back Reform UK. Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets". Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week. They included pledges to cut VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs. The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents. In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs" He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade. "You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters. "However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry" Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.
Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children heโll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldnโt give a shit about the cost for everybody else.
