MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.

It's just f**king relentless.

Can't they understand? The orangutans and the rainforest ecosystem of which they're a part *IS* the gold.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Israeli forces are continuing violent raids on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank. On Sunday, residents of Hebron held a general strike to protest the killing of two Palestinians by Israeli forces a day earlier.

Very normal country..

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.

They are losers.

No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

It is wrong, these foreigners owned monopolies are making 40% profit margins, shipping 10s of billions out of our country in dividends and now we have to pay them to upgrade ’their’ networks.

Last week, Amnesty International released a detailed statement documenting that “Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.”

60,000 African penguins starve to death after sardine numbers collapse – study Climate crisis and overfishing contributed to loss of 95% of penguins in two breeding colonies in South Africa, research finds More than 60,000 penguins in colonies off the coast of South Africa have starved to death as a result of disappearing sardines, a new paper has found.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

How much did the UK's spy flights for Israel cost?

Once again, the government pretends this is a matter of "operational security".

Just an excuse to keep the public in the dark.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Ursula von der Leyen * @vonderle...• 9m I just spoke with President @GitanasNauseda. The situation at the border with Belarus is worsening, with the growing incursions of smuggling balloons into Lithuania's airspace. Such hybrid attack by the Lukashenka regime is completely unacceptable. Lithuania continues to have our full solidarity. We are preparing further measures under our sanctions regime.

Putin wants peace, huh?

This is no way to treat our veterans Prime Minister.

It’s now over a month since the PM agreed on BBCBreakfast to meet with the nuclear test veterans (having kept them waiting more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition)

And a big thank-you, please, for @alexproeu.bsky.social who set this up.

👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is now at 93,000. At 100k it'll get a debate in Parliament. I suspect most ppl in here want to see them out of politics and out of the UK.
That includes Farage and Reform Ltd.
An enquiry just for their finances.
Please sign and share if you agree.

Petition: Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy We are concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaig...

Just because it's reached the 100,000 threshold, doesn't mean anything will happen.

So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.

This public inquiry needs to happen. Ex-PM Boozo Johnson 'sat' on the Russia Report for a reason and is suspected of close 'links' to Russian oligarchs. Brits need to know the extent of the Kremlin's 🕷️insidious influence on UK politics & democracy. Please sign👍
