Is it clear which country carried out the strike on the child's school?

So many children died =148 & they deserve justice.

Either 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 bombed a girls school and there needs to be an investigation, arrest warrants & a trial.

148 girls matter. Their deaths ≠ necessary. Such a great loss.

Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy ‘plain wrong’ calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters

Shabana Mahmood will continue to pitch-roll for Reform and to try and ban legitimate protest against Israeli genocide. Wes Streeting will continue his war on trans youth whilst lying about it. Bridget Phillipson will continue with her new section 28. And Labour will continue to haemorrhage votes.

President Obama had a deal with Iran that trump ripped up without replacing, and now we're in an unnecessary war with Iran that he started without Congress, because he's a small, petty, envious punk.

Thousands of patients waiting over 24 hours in A&E 'corridor care' Known as

52,000+ patients waited longer than 24 hours to be admitted to hospitals across north-west England.

Many wait for up to 3 days. Govt doesn't publish full data

Tory austerity, NHS neglect, refusal to tax the rich inflicts misery.

And it continues. The NHS needs more capacity, not privatisation.

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.

Leader Ed Davey says:

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

"using Palantir’s software would increase dependence on a U.S. provider. It also poses the risk of losing data sovereignty and thereby national sovereignty.

"Above all, however, the army’s staff experts say it remains unclear who has access to data shared with Palantir."

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
