How can kid starver remain as Pm when he is advised by a man mentored by a traitor? Mcsweeney being such an important advisor to the pm is surely reason enough for the pm to go

Mcsweeney is vile and I will savour every moment of his eventual humiliation and downfall

How on earth can kid Starver stay as Pm after it’s been shown that he’s taking advice on Labour candidates from a man who chose to remain friends with a convicted paedophile? How can he stay as PM when he allowed mandleson to be involved in cabinet reshuffles?

If I see another 'AI will let HCWs treat more patients' claim, I think I'm going to scream.

Burnout rates are already too high. AI should not be used to increase in-hours work density; instead it should reduce the amount of wellness-destroying work we already do out-of-hours. 🤨

Quite.

I think the blame here lies squarely with Starmer's acceptance of the 'culturally hard right' Blue Labour bullshit.


He needs to grow an ethical backbone.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

Someday, as we ask ‘how did the world let the Holocaust happen?’ so will we ask ‘how did we not stop the genocide of Gaza?’

Will no one stop this slaughter of innocents?

Our souls are stained forever by our complicity

May Allah swt forgive us for our impotence and incompetence against this evil

"You saw this on Saturday. Look what happened on our streets on Saturday. That wasn't just very bad behaviour in central London, although it was that, assaulting police officers and the like-that's plastic patriotism. It sent a shiver through so many of our communities who now feel more scared than they did before. "I understand that, I'm absolutely determined to lead in this fight of our times between renewal, the patriotic cause of the Labour Party, and the division and toxic chaos and decline that would come under Reform."

This, from Starmer today on Channel 4, is his strongest comment on the weekend so far and yet it is still, so, so weak. It's not "chaos". It's far-right racism. WHY are "so many of our communities" scared? CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

Though I guess he'd then have to acknowledge his role in stoking it.

I don't need "me time", I need "no one needs me" time.

Corby Reform councillor resigns over serious racism allegations Reform councillor Robert Bloom, who has been in his North Northamptonshire Council post for just 117 days, has resigned after a neighbour alleged he used appalling racial slurs toward her family.

Perhaps rather than endlessly promoting Mr Farage, the national media could highlight what his local councillors are doing - as demonstrated here by @northantstelegraph.bsky.social

Why the strange reluctance of Labour to stand up for ethnic minorities is damaging integration policies and weirdly also Labours own prospectives to win another election.

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000

At least

That’s according to the genocidaires themselves

Robert Jenrick and the Conservative Party's Embrace of 'Blood and Soil' Nationalism The British right is adopting an increasingly extreme form of ethnic identity politics, while failing to explain what the rest of us are supposed to be so worried about, argues Jonathan Portes

#JournalismIsNotACrime

Anas Al-Sharif أنس الشريف @ This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so l could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where l am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend-patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom. 3:25 PM • 8/10/25 • 675K Views

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

That's the model: driving the population into an refugee camp - over a shrinking territory - with the aim of making their lives so miserable that sooner or later, in one or another, they'll leave for somewhere else.

Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza city does not involve direct military rule over its population. The idea is to expel estimated 1m people into the "humanitarian zone" in the south with some non-committal talk about providing them with more medical aid and food.

NO COMMENT. You do not need to answer police questions, so don't. NO PERSONAL DETAILS. You do not have to give personal details under ANY stop and search power, so don't. UNDER WHAT POWER? Ask "What power?" to challenge the police to act lawfully. NO DUTY SOLICITOR. Use a recommended solicitor with protest experience. NO CAUTION. A caution is a legal admission of guilt.
