Never forget, Hamas has always been used as a tool of #Netanyahu to thwart a two state solution. As per below. Now he uses them to take over #Gaza and #WestBank. Vital to remind all of who it actually was enabling Hamas and for why.

As several of Israel's Western allies recognize a Palestinian state, Israel has accelerated plans for settlements that it hopes will make the two-state solution impossible reut.rs/3IlSKhf

I wonder if Trump thinks ingesting bleach would be a good idea when pregnant?

Also need to state system not only failing them but is reason why there are refugees needing to flee war & suffering, economic migrants too, all of whom could happily exist in other countries within an organized legal migration system.Remind them too Farage is part of that system, he is the problem

Reform person on radio yesterday stating 'people turning to Reform as they're not seeing benefits they were told immigration would provide' clearly shows how they have moved argument from 'the system' letting them down to 'immigration'. Interviewer just let it pass. Need to expose it is system.

I generally rate Chris Mason but it would make things easier for all if Robbie Gibb - Brexiter & Theresa May’s director of comms at Number 10 - were not still a non-executive director of the BBC. Everything he touches turns to shit. Including, at the moment, a lot of the Beeb’s political journalism.

The Reform Party policy of abolition of indefinite leave to remain is supported by 3% of the public

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

In late June 1973 news broke that the Nixon admin had compiled an "enemies list." Among those listed were journalist Daniel Schorr & actor/activist Paul Newman. Hunter S. Thompson was disappointed he wasn't included. Here's Paul Conrad's editorial cartoon on the Nixon enemies list in the LA Times.

Starmer: "We recognised the State of Israel more than 75 years ago as a homeland for the Jewish people. Today we join over 150 countries who recognise a Palestinian State too – A pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli people… That there can be a better future." #Gaza #Palestine

Good. LONDON − The United Kingdom, Canada and Australia on Sept. 21 formally recognized a Palestinian state, putting the countries' policy at odds with President Donald Trump's on a massive international stage. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

What a wonderful story. As a 'Seed Guardian' for a heritage seed bank, warms my heart even more! Nature finds a way!

Listening to R4 feature on Reform in Scotland, Reform interviewee stating 'people turning to Reform as they're not seeing benefits they were told immigration would provide' clearly shows how they have moved argument from 'the system' letting them down to immigration. Interviewer just let it pass.

Good. Over to you UN General Assembly.

UK now recognises Palestinian state, Starmer announces. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpw1qkyke4nt

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Maybe it is time we moved away from 'Left' and 'Right' which just seems to be tripping everyone up and instead define it via the truth v the lies. Maybe.

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

Yes, shame on them. This is bravery....the headline all should be stating, reported by AP and featured on PBS, the American public broadcaster who Trump is actively trying to silence. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

In a month of lows, tonight's Newsnight was a new one. I felt very sorry for @davidfrum.bsky.social trying to explain the first amendment to a panel, incredibly, trying to both-sides a Trump administration nakedly, explicitly, and on-record blackmailing media companies into silence. WTAF
