Labour Friends of Israel seems to continue to thrive though? Just saying

Can’t believe they’ve done this, not just the timing but at all. What were they thinking? They’ve had plenty of time to pull this since the scandal broke and replace it with something else.
Inexcusable

Anonymous Tory MP in 2018:

"If we try to cancel Brexit, we destroy ourselves. If we go ahead with it, we destroy the country."

They did both. And now the culprits are running from the wreckage.

As a Kent CC taxpayer my expectations of cost savings leading to better services and lower taxes were set. I’m sure most of Kent would welcome this. However, we’ve obviously been betrayed and badly let down by false promises, haven’t we?

As a resident of Kent I feel badly let down. Didn’t vote Reform but was naturally interested to see what promised cost-cutting and subsequent savings would materialise. Have they done anything good, anywhere?

Everyone knows that once the hostages are released, Israel will simply blast and bulldoze the rest while the world watches on

Is it a political party or company though and do same rules apply?

I heard the pilot for ‘Ticewatch’ is almost ready

Seems to be a certain amount of coercion and threat regarding output at BBC these days. It’s as though another state is dictating what we’re allowed to watch

A secret US-UK sweetheart tech deal? What's really going on? And what's *Palantir* got to do with it??

Right. If you want to know what's really going on, we're going to have stop falling for the spin & asking better questions.

What on earth was Palantir's top UK dude doing anywhere near this? And why has neither govt revealed the sweetheart tech deal?

I believe it’s known as Heads of Terms - an initial agreement setting out the scope, i.e. the commodities or services to be traded (or not). The detail should come later.

A photo of 6-year-old Osama Al-Raqab, a child in Gaza. He has sunken cheeks, stick-thin arms and ribs jutting out of his chest. His aunt, Nour Sameer Al-Raqab, is seen holding a phone in the photo with an image of a healthy-looking Osama from a few months before the war began. He now looks like a skeleton. The photo was taken on April 13, 2025 and published in a story by NBC News. The full story is available at this link: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/children-gaza-hunger-aid-blockade-israel-rcna201085

Daily reminder that the whole of Gaza is being starved to death and every Western nation is allowing it to happen.

In Kent, 59% voted leave and 41% remain so there’s still a lot of people in Kent with common sense. We’re not all self-harming twats although sadly at that point in time we were outnumbered

Cllr David Wimble Is Committing Another Criminal Offence Since his election Cllr Wimble's Register of Interests has been incorrect. Also he has failed to update them even though his circumstances have changed.

Oh yes, David Wimble - known for his honesty and reliability.

I have that single!

On Her 7th Birthday, We Know Who Killed Hind Rajab. And We’re Taking Them to Court ​ Brussels, 3 May 2025  — Today, little  Hind Rajab should have been blowing out candles on her 7th birthday .  On this day of remembrance and heartbreak, the  Hind Rajab Foundation  has...

🔥 This is important. Really important.

And none of the mainstream media are reporting it.

So please read and share — because we are the news community for ourselves and the “mainstream” media are utterly hopeless for meaningful news.

Meanwhile Sky News is trailing a White House presser at 1:30 FS.

It follows their obsession with reporting what Trump has said or done *every single day* since inauguration in Jan

It did in the 70s when we joined the EEC, there’s was a general feeling of unity and neighbourliness across UK. We felt that we’d joined something big and exciting and were now on a level pitch with the other countries.
If we rejoined now, widespread relief would likely prevail over pro-Europeanism

None of those terms were in *general* use prior to the vote in June 2016. It was simply Leave or Remain (unless there’s evidence to the contrary of course)

Jet lag’s a bummer sometimes, oh well.
Live by the sword…

Yeah, it’s ’KING’ Charles to you mate and I also wonder if he knows

The insight I gained working in NHS helped me form my opinion that NHS should manage social care alongside acute, community and MH. LA budget apportionment wouldn’t be an issue and it might improve hospital discharge times.

I think Starmer is trying hard to be friends with everybody (except Putin). It’s a risky strategy that could make him (us, UK) look weak if it backfires.

The Brits are savage 🔥

Dull, overcast day, wearing sunglasses. 70s rockstar?

What does NHS England actually do? (Asking for a friend)

I’m sensing there could be a demand for a certain iconic poster when the state visit happens.

Does the US still need all those military bases across Europe and Turkey etc? (Asking for a friend)
