The critical inside story of today’s devastating news about the UK government’s reckless handling of the resettlement cases of our highly endangered Afghan allies…and then covering it up with an unprecedented super-injunction.

And yes. @newsagents.bsky.social came to the conclusion it was political

It’s easier to build concentration camps than hospitals because you don’t have to worry about the safety of the occupants.

Nigel Farage has spent the last decade licking the arse of a man who is now making millions of Britons much poorer while having made all of us far less safe. It really should not be beyond the power of the Labour party to make this point relentlessly.

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.

That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.
