Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Community Service Announcement for the โJournalistsโ working in the UK.
The government is NOT going to collapse tonight. There will NOT be a General Election next week.
Your breathless (bullshit) polls telling us Farage will be PM soon are hilariously stupid.
Calm the fuck down.
Ends.
Picture of a hospital in Gaza, Palestine which has been bombed by the Israeli Defence Force killing patients and medical Staff - a War Crime.
Tonight Channel 4 GAZA: Doctors Under Attack

If youโve an ounce of humanity.
A forensic investigation into Israeli military attacks on hospitals in Gaza. The film also examines allegations of the targeting and abuse of doctors and healthcare workers in Gaza.

Poster depicting a black & white image of Rachel Reeves on a red background & a banner headline saying Welfare Not Warfare
The wailing & handwringing of Ministers & Senior Labour figures over the Benefits fiasco is laughable.
The fact MP's rebel because of legislation & policy on their constituents is proper
The Economic consequences will be caused by huge sums spent arming Ukraine/Israel & building Nuclear Weapons.

Will he tell Kendall & Reeves he thinks their reforms are unfair?
To all of those 120 MP's signing the rebel ammendment to the Welfare Reform Bill = KEEP GOING. The wobbly PM is taking notice - for once !

Labour gone mad, driven by the fear of a Reform surge in the minds of the far right supporting electorate.
Weapons paid for by the disabled & the long term sick.
UK to expand nuclear deterrent with US fighter jets capable of carrying warheads.
At a time when children are in poverty, those incapable of work are losing benefits & the NHS is struggling we spend Billions on Nuclear Weapons.
Just makes us a bigger target

16.06.2025 17:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0What weโre witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity.
It is committing genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank & has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen & Iran without any accountability.
The UK must end ALL arms sales, sanction Israel & expel its ambassador.
I can understand this perspective (it's the same as Israel's) but it's the Western Nations that need to rein this in. Stop Training, Arming & Supporting the murder being perpetrated by the Israelis. You've been paid to look the other way & base economic renewal on a vast covert weapons industryโฎ๏ธ๐๏ธ
