Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza. It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Recognition without any action to stop izrahell is utterly meaningless. As ably demonstrated by all the self same white west countries retaining their seats to give an audience at the UN last week to mass murderer Satanyahoo, whilst 77 of their fellow members delegations walked out in disgust.

Here's another reason why .

Absolutely fascinating to see an ancient device, of a type that I have actually used, restored to use and beauty!

This is why I'm always trying to think of new ways of attracting visitors to my shop....because if I don't, I get no visitors, I make no sales, and I have no business. 🙏 So please forgive my product posts amongst my bird photos.🐦 My shop; www.carlbovis.com/shop-3 ❤️

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

So exhausting..

We were going to go to the Labour party conference but… 👇 www.declassifieduk.org/labour-bars-...

#BREAKING | The Israeli army killed Dr. Ismail Abu Rukab, a pioneer in mental health and head of the Psychiatry Department at the Palestinian Ministry of Health, along with his wife and children, in a strike on their displacement shelter in Gaza. (Gaza Notifications)

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe. This is the reality of deregulation. Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy. Our CEO sets out why: rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... 👈

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

I think it’s a testament to the disastrous malevolence of the British state that it can recruit both Boris Johnson *and* Keir Starmer for specific and quite different purposes, and yet somehow it’s the latter who is truly and finally smashing the bus head-on into oncoming traffic

This is worse than Sarajevo, worse than Halabja. And yet, here this fucker is and all the lads are fine with it. Should we draw conclusions? I think we should

Release Announcement! Including a Promotion. I just released my new design the Sea Turtle Tee on Ravelry. You can buy the pattern with a 10% discount during the release weekend (valid till Monday Midnight CET). #knitting #knitsky #stricken 🧶

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Maybe Sir Keir Starmer should stop banging on about immigration, and start focusing on why 1 in 4 British kids are growing up in poverty...

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 this weeks theme is Joy/Care. When she was little, my niece Amy loved purple and loved dragons. So I adapted a hat/scarf pattern to fit a child, and added as a "pompom" a heart, stuffed with cotton to represent the dragon's tail point. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Reposting in light of Starmer announcing mandatory #IDCards. Govt has already given Sex Matters - the anti-trans hate group - completely unwarranted & undemocratic influence over statistical/data matters. I’d bet my mortgage that it’s already agreed the #BritCard 🤮 will require ‘biological sex’.

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

Millennials face post-work poverty if they remain renters. On retirement income shrinks. State pension is inadequate. Low wages - millions can't save for private pension or buy a home. Rents keep on rising. Need social housing, rent controls, state pension aligned with living wage.

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔 (Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Assata Shakur, of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, has died at the age of 78 in Cuba, where she received political asylum in 1984.

The first million people have signed up to tell Starmer to stick his ID cards where the sun don't shine

I have just submitted an FOI to the Home Office demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY on Palantir’s role in tomorrow’s “Brit Card” mandatory digital ID scheme 🚨 WHY THIS MATTERS: Palantir already has its surveillance tentacles deep in UK infrastructure with 24+ government contracts including: Thread

Real good news/bad news thing for Starmer. Good news: he got people to sign up for signing at a similar pace to Your Party's mailing list. Bad news: It's opposition to his ID cards idea. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Microsoft said Israel’s use of Azure to store data obtained through mass surveillance of Palestinians violated its terms

Declassified UK learns that it was blocked from press accreditation for the British Parliament because its investigations have been too critical of UK foreign policy, especially regarding Gaza. More evidence of Britain's slide into outright authoritarianism. www.declassifieduk.org/parliament-b...

Being Trans Online is "Harmful To the Community" Apparently. That's why I got suspended this morning. It's what my suspension is marked under. Trying to appeal. Will probably do nothing. This is my livelihood, so this is a massive blow to my existence just... overall ya know...

Curse of private equity. After US hospitals were acquired by private equity firms, patient death rates in the emergency depts rose by 13% compared with similar hospitals. PE cut staffing, wages, investment; hiked profits. People killed for profit. Yet UK handing healthcare to PE.

Still hard to get my head around the fact that Starmer would prefer to keep millions of kids in poverty rather than make the wealthy pay their way Just how cynical, arrogant, and stupid is this man? www.theguardian.com/society/vide...

It’s worth sitting for a minute with the knowledge that Morgan McSweeney received three quarters of a million pounds to subvert democracy and it’s only a scandal because he didn’t fill in the forms correctly.

Widespread transphobia in the UK is making their policies on sexed spaces increasingly confused and incoherent. Don't believe me? Let's try a little thought experiment...

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Ooooo my new glasses cloths finally arrived
