For a week, they had eaten to the sounds of bombs in their home in Arab Salim. Hamdan eventually decided to leave for Al-Nimiriya, the sleepy town where she had grown up.

Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies

What happened to the Iranian girls school was tragic and horrific, and it’s become clear it was an American strike. The President's claim it could've been Iran was always a lie. There needs to be a full and transparent investigation so that it doesn't happen again.

All war does is get you to the same position you would have been without war if you had chosen diplomatic means instead. Except now in this reality, many innocents have been killed and many more wounded and have had their lives destroyed who had no say in starting the war in the first place.

When bombs fall, rivers, fields, and lungs all breathe the same POISONED air.

Choosing CEASEFIRE and JUSTICE over militarism is the only way to protect our shared home and every community that depends on it.

Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

Farage: epic grifter

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

Farage to ask MPs to back the UK leaving the ECHR
This would place Britain in a tiny club of non-members with Russia and Belarus.
Belarus has never been in the ECHR and is a loyal ally of the Kremlin.
Russia was expelled from the ECHR after invading Ukraine.
⚠️A vote for Reform is a vote for Putin⚠️

Wow, only 63 labour mps voted to stay in the ECHR. Shocking!

We are so sorry to hear of your experience, Mothin! It's an absolute shame that even in 2025, people can't let other people be. It's a damning indictment of our current political and media class that stir up hatred on the daily.

We stand in solidarity with you!
