There’s surely a ‘D Notice’ preventing news media from reporting on the 8 ordinary members of the public locked up without trial for more than a year for non-violent protest who have now been on hunger strike for more than a month. I guess Starmer’s been waiting until their right to a jury is gone.

Israel is consistently committing terrorism, we just don’t call it that. It’s like, if you are big enough, powerful enough, you get away with things on a massive, systemic scale that we would immediately denounce if it was an individual or organization on a small scale. It just makes no sense.

Nigel Farage is probably delighted today that Reform have the most members of a political party. It doesn't have to be this way. 180,000 and rising. Hope ready to overtake hate. Stand and be counted. Join.greenparty.org.uk

🙄 It’s the hypocrisy that sticks the most. The Daily Mail spent years attacking all migrants including Poles, they fought and gaslit the public to get Brexit over the line. Now they complain about the state of the country after cheering on its decline. Vile!

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Palestinians whose families have lived in West Bank region for generations are being attacked by illegal settlers (many with US passports). Israel's IDF turns up & arrests those being attacked. Israel's govt recently approved 19 new settlements in West Bank.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Put the politicians at the front

There are British people in prison who have been hospitalised after being on hunger strike - if it was for anything other than the Palestinian cause it would be front page news. As it is, no media outlet is even slightly interested.

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

Starmer is only “inoffensive” if you’re another tedious, evil, bigoted shit like him.

Thinking of Ukraine, Israel/ Palestine, Ireland it seems that time and again ownership and control of land is more important to politicians than peoples lives. It’s as though citizens count for nothing except to fight to maintain control of land for politicians

Since Zack said these words on 2nd September, over 110,000 people have joined the Green Party. This is a mass movement of people who are serious about replacing Labour and taking the fight to Reform. And we're only getting started.

Seems to me most people don’t attempt to study the history of Ukraine but still don’t hesitate to comment on the situation and have opinions without any understanding of its past or its demography

And for sure never trust Reform

Suppose your comment depends on what you mean by the civilised world. Suggests most of the world is uncivilised which is questionable

Seems the coalition want to prolong the war and make it worse. No peace in sight with those decisions only an escalation of the conflict threatening all of Europe

Mad

A company I refused to do business with

Looks like we’ve scone and done it! Celebrating our 13th by-election win of the year in Devon - beating the Tories and Reform yet again.

The government is letting the hunger strikers die. This is a national scandal - and should be on the front-page of every newspaper in Britain. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gove...

I'm just over 100 days as the leader of the Green Party. We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour. And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership. Then we're coming for Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

We need them. They need us. So, why don't we try being kind, compassionate, helpful, & supportive before our attitude towards refugees drives them towards fairer, more tolerant countries. Or do we just want to put another nail in the UK coffin? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🔴 A grandfather in northern Gaza says Israeli soldiers shot his 16-year-old grandson yesterday & then drove a tank over the child “four or five times,” crushing him in the street. He says the family hasn’t known a moment of calm: “There are quadcopters every day and every night.” X: @sahatenglish

The Palestine hunger strikers are going to die if there is no intervention from this Labour government. Keir Starmer and David Lammy, blood will be on your hands.

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child before running him over with a tank in central Gaza on Wednesday, according to eyewitnesses. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251211-isr...

This is the reason why the 'taxes' that go up are the Standing Charge's, the Water Bills and the Tax Thresholds Freezes. They all either go to the billionaires or don't affect them at all. But they hit every one of us. So we pay their taxes.

Lovely :-)

Prefer to think of it as Yuletide as it was originally and the Winter semester. Turning point in the year with a new year on the horizon. Nothing to do with any religion

Don’t think I’ll consider visiting the USA for quite some time

Big pharma must been earning a fortune from the present flu epidemic. Am I being cynical to suggest they could be the cause of it so they earn so much. Remember being told many years ago that most cases occur where most vaccinations had been given

Daily Express can do one! The crisis is in the state of affordable housing, the state of the NHS, and the number of people living hand to mouth; none of it caused by immigrants! Do not let this rag of a paper convince you otherwise www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2144...

They're in prison without trial - on hunger strike for Palestine. The media has been suppressing this story. Their lives are at risk. Listen here to their loved ones. Let them be released on bail, close Israeli arms makers, reverse the ban on Palestine Action.

But I’ve been told by a colleague that Zelensky has made himself a fortune from the war because of the corruption it’s enabled.

Before 1980 all Buses in the UK were run by the Government, Margaret Thatcher privatised them. Now you and Government pay so they can cream 20% of your money off the top as profit. Why aren't buses nationalised?

Oh for a chance to vote Starmer out

We live in an unequal world. And it’s getting worse. 1 in 1,000 people own three times more than 500 of those 1,000 people. It’s not a matter of being unfair - it’s an economic system unfit for the world. buff.ly/s6OFX8A

For those who don’t know, AI is only a more user friendly search engine and draws on information already saved somewhere. It isn’t actually something intelligent or creative like a human is

. Bring it on! #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #politicslive #C4News #bbcqt #toriesgone524 .

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

👏

Well it should be involved as it has a border with Ukraine which I crossed over once

Once human rights cease to be universal, they are fatally weakened. Politicians then have the ability to decide who gets full human rights and who is a lesser human. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seeing a lot of gobshites claiming that the ECHR isn’t fit for modern use. Not one of them can provide a specific example. Because it’s a bullshit talking point being pumped out by Far Right scum like Farage and Starmer.
