If you think things are stupid now, just wait ten years.

Katie Lam’s anti-immigrant rhetoric sounds a lot like that of the 1930s The Kent MP is espousing views that would have barred entry to her own ancestors when they were fleeing the Nazis

The anti-migrant language about "cultural coherence" used by rising Tory star Katie Lam sounds very much like the 1930s, when her grandmother found sanctuary in the UK www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Profoundly depressing, what ladder pulling says about human nature.

Can’t even picture him in a ballroom. Imagine Strauss’s reaction to the Orange one tripping out the Blue Danube.

“Narco terrorists” are just the start, aren’t they? People are being snatched and disappeared. The illegality is acquiring momentum and we’re all passive.

He was good!

Trump tells Israel's Knesset: "We’ve given a lot [of weapons] to Israel.. You used them well. It takes people that know how to use them, and you obviously used them very well."

Son-in-law Kushner on his trip to Gaza: "It looked almost like a nuclear bomb had been set off."

Add at least that again in co-pays just for routine screening and a few generic prescriptions. Then the cost of the time you will spend fighting your insurer every single time you even pick up the phone to a doctor.

Whatever they tell you about US healthcare, the reality is worse.

Can NHS managers deny employment rights when doctors speak up on Gaza? Why are NHS managers denying basic employment rights to shut down British doctors when we speak out against Israel’s war crimes?

A timely reminder. Police, GMC, NHS all under pressure from pro-Israel lobby, all being subverted.

Lady Hale is right, we should all be really worried about it.

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

Tony Blair’s Institute has taken nearly half a billion $ from tech billionaire Larry Ellison.

His company Oracle is deeply embedded in Israeli govt & military.

Larry Ellison is a personal friend of Netanyahu.

Donating directly to political parties is so YESTERDAY when you can directly control the news and the organisations that are fed into the news cycle.

Paul Marshall (money man, Brexit backer, GB News - with Legatum Institute Holdings- , Spectator and Unherd and so much more);

As they say, “Lock him up”

Aspirational. It won’t happen. All the corrupt world order is lined up to prevent it happening. The only possible future is Green Socialism.

Keir Starmer is a plastic patriot just like Nigel Farage Reform and Labour can wrap themselves in as many union jacks as they want — this is what my country means to me, by Jeremy Corbyn

Real patriotism isn’t about bashing migrants or minorities. It’s about caring enough to ensure nobody is homeless, hungry or left behind.

My piece for @thelondonstandard.bsky.social.

www.standard.co.uk/comment/jere...

“*reasonable safeguards *for free expression”
Vs
*unalienable rights*

Not an acceptable trade off.

The means of control will be digital and our political figureheads have already signed us up to the tech deals that will steal our freedom & wellbeing.

And we should resist with all our might.

Same....

All eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla!
#FreePalestine

Trump: "If you don't like what I'm saying you can leave the room. There goes your rank & there goes your future." <nervous laughter>

Many of these US generals were no doubt aware of Hitler's notorious "Führereid", the oath of personal allegiance he made German generals swear in 1934..

All eyes on the Freedom Flotilla

We Said “We Will Block Everything” and We Did: Inside Italy’s Strike for Gaza Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

Next time Farage or one of his mates is on Question Time getting applause for stopping/reversing immigration, may I suggest the following riposte:

'Everyone who just applauded needs to think hard what they were applauding. Without significant immigration, this country will become a catastrophe.' /1

It’s the job of government and police to either empower or suppress thugs. Not forgetting the media who inspire either informed decency or bigotry. The drift is orchestrated.

The way I read it, he’s already on garden leave at a football match at the Emirates Stadium while Musk dominates the airwaves & Police allow dissenters to be terrorised and kettled.

Starmer was at a football match. Elon Musk present by video link. Fascists allowed to surround & terrorise anti racist protesters. All avoidable - but stage managed in the fascist direction.

“I’ve been leading pro-Palestine marches which have been demonised by the police. But today, they seemed unable or unwilling to stop fascists [surrounding them]
