Likud with other coalition partners might not storm the Sumud flotilla. However, Netanyahu can't afford to upset the Messianic fascists who prop him up, as he otherwise goes to jail (for corruption, as he knows that Trump will protect him from going to jail for genocide). Who knows what will happen?

Does every Labour Prime Minister have to be an intelligence asset?

Read something on the TV news ticker saying that Keir Starmer would "absolutely" lead Labour into the next election. Misread it as "absolutistly".

What if all the talk about Trump being a victim of Russian kompromat (for which a scenario had to be invented) was just a smokescreen to cover up Trump being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein (in circumstances now widely known)?

If you live in Scotland and you don't want to see Nigel Farage as your Prime Minister, you have to support Scottish Independence parties at the next Scottish election to give us a chance of avoiding this calamity of a politician ruling over us. Your kids deserve a better future. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Interesting guy, this Morgan McSweeney. Family connections to Fine Gael, lived on an Israeli kibbutz, started out in Labour working for Peter Mandelson, ran Liz Kendall's leadership campaign, reported to Trevor Chinn in Labour Together, and got Richard Leonard to resign. As right-wing as they come.

Ironically, most autistic people aren't half as different as Trump.

My wife and I are both autistic. Neither of our mothers took *anything* during their pregnancies. Thalidomide was still a very big issue in those days. Trump's ravings are the American notion of my ignorance being equal to your expertise transformed for the Internet conspiracy age.

Israel is deliberately depriving people of aid in #Gaza. MSF’s new report shows how restrictions blocked medical supplies, sometimes even forcing our teams to perform procedures without anesthesia. Read the report: ow.ly/YZ8v50WZFBs

Can't help but think the whole Palestine recognition thing is a pose adopted in expectation of the final displacement.

⚡️🇺🇳JUST IN: UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says 680,000 may be the real number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. Francesca Albanese, estime que 680 000 pourrait être le nombre réel de Palestiniens tués dans la guerre génocidaire menée par Israël contre Gaza.

Farage's policy chief has confirmed that he intends to negotiate with the EU to end access to benefits for European citizens with settled status. My wife, who is in that category, has been paying UK national insurance for the last 24 years, for the vast majority of that time as a state employee.

Farage is on Sky News holding a press conference that proves he's just another lazy populist windbag who doesn't do policy detail because reading is boring. He couldn't even answer a question about whether ending indefinite leave to remain would apply to EU citizens with settled status!

A guy from the Reform Party is on TV claiming that the UK has "the best passport in the world", a piece of laminated plastic that no longer gets you the right to live and work in the EU and in many countries will endanger you because of sanguinary UK foreign policy.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Apparently Trump wants Bagram airbase back from Afghanistan, from where the US were unceremoniously ejected five years ago. He seems to believe that he can reclaim it through force of will. But what's it really about? China? Rare earths? Or Iran?

Can't believe that Keir Starmer actually complained about the "emaciated" state of Israeli "hostages" (actually all IDF POWs at this stage) when *hundreds* of Palestinians have literally starved to death.

Wee message to Keir Starmer: if you recognise a state while providing material aid to another state committing genocide against it and declaring that the atrocities should continue until the only democratically elected government it's ever had is overthrown, you're not really recognising it.

Weird that there are folk who attach huge emotional importance to whether Scotland wins at kicking a baw aboot but who couldn't care less whether their country actually exists on the world stage or not. Weird, and pathetic too.

Trump has just claimed credit for ending a war between Azerbaijan and Albania.

Currently learning Welsh on Duolingo. The phrase for "since then" is "ers hynny". It really does conjure up some difficult-to-forget images for Scottish people.

Two English students sitting across from me in the bus today. One remarked how she loved Belfast because it was so much more peaceful than Torquay.

Why is is so hard for people to say these words?: Lough Neagh, the UK's biggest lake, is being killed by *livestock farms*.

Got a can of pork sausages and beans as a substitute delivery. I knew my wife wouldn't eat the sausages, so gave her the beans. She is, however, so completely disgusted at the thought of the product that she won't even eat those.

The Conservative Party is the most successful political party in the western world. Even when folk are sick to the back teeth of Tory rule, it still gets elected by calling itself "Labour" or "Reform".

Fed up hearing about Charlie Kirk. An unpleasant character whom I'd never heard of before he got shot.

BREAKING: David Lammy has explained he cannot declare that Israel is committing genocide because he would be admitting that he has been helping Israel commit genocide x

Nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, and there are two "Great British" reality shows on at once. What joy!

Farage is a wannabe fascist trump

Just watched assorted weirdos and Tory renegades at the Reform conference singing God Save the Queen under a massive Union Jack. Reminded me of the kind of thing the DUP do at their shindigs. Most British people used to laugh at them.

Tony Blair has been plumbing new moral depths with his support for ethnically cleansing Gaza. It makes you wonder what his true motivations were for supporting the invasion of Iraq when he was PM.

It would be a suspiciously fortuitous coincidence if Trump died or had to step back days after his tariff reforms have been struck down. A new President Vance would find it easy to ditch an unworkable and increasingly unpopular policy.

Marked safe from giving a toss about small boats.

I see the Tories have pledged to exploit Scottish oil and gas to exhaustion. Anyone ask us?

Notwithstanding the covfefe incident, the sheer length of Trump's recent posts suggests that some poor idiot is taking dictation from the impatient Pres. Imagine trying to keep a straight face while he mandates all those random block capitals.

I despair for the good sheeple of England. A snake-oil salesman weirdly amplified by corporate media tells them to leave the EU, and they do it, wrecking the economy for a generation. Then 10 years later THE SAME GUY tells them to put their human rights in the bin, and they say "Yeah, good idea!"

This is footage from 7 years ago when Israeli snipers shot more than 900 children including the one in this footage, it was a competition for them It didn’t start on October 7th

Bizarre and reprehensible that western politicians are still interpreting Israeli attacks on hospitals and journalists as tragic errors or gung-ho recklessness. Be in no doubt. The numbers speak for themselves. They are planned. They are policy.

I will be bringing you an extended report of a 20-month long BBC's attempt to deny Israeli war crimes with increasingly weakened language surrounding civilian casualties in #Gaza. BBC has added to destruction of entire Gaza's healthcare system. My findings are supported by evidence.

Hundreds of peaceful protestors have been arrested for protesting the ban on Palestine Action. Join the global campaign calling for the prosecution to stop. www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

More Germans knew about the Holocaust than about the existence of Eva Braun. But while such knowledge was widespread, it was not universal. Today all Israelis know of the genocide in Gaza, and most support its aim of ethnic cleansing.

#BREAKING | Exclusive footage shows the Israeli army targeting 3 Palestinians as they tried to recover a victim in Shujaiya, east of Gaza, on May 18 killing them instantly.

In the early years of New Labour, Alan Sugar recorded an ad for the party in which he spoke of "Great Britain plc." Labour made him re-record it saying "England." Scots and Welsh support was assured; they wanted votes in the south-east.

Israeli bombardment of Gaza kills at least 89, as five more die of starvation

Why should Palestinians have no passports so that Israelis can have two?

One conclusion that Western governments should draw from events in Gaza over the past two years is that Israeli Apartheid is inherently temporary and unstable, its logic tending inexorably to further ethnic cleansing and genocide. The answer has to be sanctions.
