The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip reports that Israeli forces have committed 875 violations over 74 days of the ceasefire, killing 411 Palestinians and injuring 1,112 as they also arrested 45 people.

"White House 'National Security Strategy' announced that the Trump regime will treat the democratically elected governments of most Western European nations as adversaries of the United States, and unveiled a plan to join longtime adversaries in seeking to undermine NATO and the European Union."

It may have been the last week before the Christmas recess, but the government were still doing loads in Parliament last week! A few things include: + Employment Rights Bill completing passing both Houses + Two bills relating to the budget passed their second reading in the Commons 1/4

“Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame”

Overwhelming majority of UK businesses say that closer EU ties are a ‘strategic necessity’. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You can watch here:

Have become quite critical of Macron lately. But for the EU's sole nuclear power this is an important response.

Matthew Bowles works for the IEA. Funded by the fossil fuel industry, gambling and tobacco. Times up. Merry Christmas! Join.greenparty.org.uk

And then it turns the stupidity up to 11. Nile wants Trump’s administration... unelected by anyone in the EU... to exert pressure on Europe to hold Brexit style referendums in European nations.

I think this is called "a cry for help" 1/3

Ceasefire?

Didn't fall out of a window then.

This is so fucking weird.

TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

This is how cults form.

Oh

One Palestinian killed by Israeli army in Gaza while two Palestinians, including a child, are shot dead in West Bank.

Nothing better than taking taxes off nurses and giving them to billionaires. A truly uplifting seasonal tale…..🤮 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In case you were wondering how that ceasefire was going… Israel bombed a wedding in Gaza today We will never forget.

Bad for transparency? You will still get to ask questions. Only it will be harder for you to ignore the answers & harder to twist what is said to fit the narrative you want. More journalists - creators will get a chance to be involved. It will be less secretive & more transparent to the public.

This is how winter in the countryside should be. Calm, quiet, and filled with peace. Foxes, deer, hares and other wild animals deserve safety, not fear. But for too many, that peace is still shattered by the cruelty of hunting. Help protect them: https://leagueacs.co.uk/t15G7

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead. Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too. “The trouble with power is that it’s exposing, both politically and personally” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"You Know Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. Now Meet the Dangerous Israeli Minister You've Never Heard Of" Amichai Eliyahu is helping lead one aspect of Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign: the stealing of Palestinian land for “archeological” reasons. By @dianabuttu.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/heritage-m...

Christ alive

As soon as the racist bunting went up and St George crosses were being daubed everywhere, we knew. This was a far-right funded migrant-intimidation campaign, pretending to be about national pride. Never felt less proud. And many have never felt less safe. Disgusting of politicians to endorse it.

Oh

Urging Trump to destroy the BBC is unforgivable. Truss, Badenoch & Farage would rather betray this country than offer the BBC or the British government their support against a narcissistic foreign liar and a threat to democracy. It’s an appalling betrayal. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-...

Yale report unveils RSF attempt to cover up Sudan atrocities, mass burials https://aje.io/9ibu83

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult. Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

So far, not a word about this today on CNN, Fox, MSNow, or in the NYT, The Washington Post or the WSJ. Astonishing. www.politico.eu/article/nato...

About time this practice stopped.

Brilliant piece by @labourlewis.bsky.social on why the Nigel Farage racism allegations matter. If we end up rewarding a politics based on the instincts of a racist schoolyard bully, we should't be surprised at what follows bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

Reform UK councillor Andrew Harrison's business was fined £40,000 for hiring an "illegal immigrant." Almost like these people are shameless, two faced hypocrites isn't it www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

Oh look. They’ve actually drawn a diagram for all the people stupid enough to need a bloody diagram.

The US agenda is utterly adverse to EU interest. Long live the EU

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU

Poland's Deputy Prime Minister has issued a sharp response to Elon Musk's call to dismantle the EU. In a follow up they added: "If anyone still had doubts about who all this anti-EU talk about sovereignty serves. Those who want to profit from sowing hatred and those who want to conquer Europe."

Netanyahu and his zionist sycophants are just evil. They never wanted a ceasefire nor peace in Gaza or the West Bank.

Bethlehem lights tree after two years, mixing hope with sorrow amid Gaza war and economic hardship from Israeli siege.

Interesting what Crick notes. Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.
