Israel killed a Lebanese brigadier general who was travelling in a car with two other soldiers. This is apparently not newsworthy in the view of Western outlets. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...

An Israeli-born, Trump-appointed US attorney — who's referred to Palestinians as “animals,” called for Gaza to be wiped “off the map,” and suggested “even the children” in Gaza are terrorists — dropped charges against an Israeli tied to a biolab in Nevada.

There was a very lengthy and forensic inquiry into this resulting in a very detailed report that stopped just short of calling Tony’s conduct a criminal enterprise, so naturally it was chucked in the bin in favour of continuing to invite Blair, Campbell and Mandelson into TV studios for interviews.

Tony Blair tells Radio 4 that the £257 million his institute has received from a billionaire AI investor has absolutely nothing to with his lobbying for the AI industry

Labour needed 1 vote for control, but rather than work with the 1 Green councillor they ceded half their power to the Tories.

It is extremely bad, and speaks to the sickness that is the core of the Western world, that people protesting this fascist regime are the ones hounded and punished by Western governments.

Let's be clear the argument being put forward here is that if a protest against a thing makes supporters of that thing uncomfortable it should be banned. From the same government that insists students *have* to listen to things that make them uncomfortable. And in both cases this benefits fascism.

So Lee Anderson, who said Islamists have "got control" of Sadiq Khan, wants to close every food bank in the country, and is committed to bringing back the death penalty, has now been made Chairman of Reform UK

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

Laura Pidcock: "I know people don't want me to talk about it, but there has been an enduring genocide in Gaza over the last 2 years" Cathy Newman proving her point: "...we're not debating that tonight, we're debating the elections & general political positioning"

New research by the Royal College of Nursing shows that racist abuse directed at nurses has risen by 78% over the past 4 years & the head of the RCN says the political climate is partly to blame. The racists have been emboldened, & we all know why.

I genuinely don't think the right has noticed the degree to which it has radicalised.

I'm not underestimating what a new start under a new Manager can do

This is where intensive farming, and private ownership of water utilities - which remains unchallenged by this government - has got us. *Designated bathing sites* with prominent signs warning people not to bathe there... Does that sound reasonable to you? 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m sure this is definitely fine Hantavirus Brit, in 60s, found in Italian bar instead of in quarantine | News World | Metro News metro.co.uk/2026/05/13/h...

Wes Streeting had a once in a lifetime chance to reinstate the NHS as a FULLY PUBLIC SERVICE He squandered it, continuing with privatisation £1.6 billion was wasted on profits in the last 2 years according to @chpithinktank.bsky.social - enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses

So Luke Akehurst's pal who has been banging on about narrow boat tax was also the one who did the job on Rayner, and she's just been cleared of any wrongdoing. So looks like he is indeed just a slimy little factional snitch trying to whip up scandals out of stuff nobody should be caring about.

Yesterday Kier Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel, and save 2700 jobs. Today, the Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy. This is just one university. Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving. Where is the rescue package for our universities?

The USA has blocked 5 players from Iraq's team from coming to the World Cup. Including one who plays in the English Football League. Boycott the World Cup.

the most predictable problem in the world is happening.

Sarah Vine compares @zackpolanski.bsky.social to a 'rat' previously compared @ed-miliband.bsky.social to an 'alien' I find these epithets, applied to the two Jewish political party leaders of recent years, highly dubious, coming from someone who claims to be deeply concerned about antisemitism

One thing I'm struggling with is that I've seen images in the Epstein files that unambiguously show men abusing children and not a single one of those men has been arrested. How can the FBI get away with ignoring this?

This is good because McSweeney is clearly a total snide, but also because, yet again, Starmer is not making the decision, underlining his lack of agency. Which means he can't stay in post much longer either

Breaking: The European Commission said on Tuesday it would investigate Mandelson, who was European trade commissioner from 2004-8 before leaving early to return to UK politics. Mandelson draws a pension from his time there and has to adhere to a code of conduct for former staff.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Everyone knows very well that Crick is correct and that this entire thing was a cruel, idiotic shitshow that could not possibly have succeeded without 100% media complicity. And yet again: nobody can now speak openly about this without incriminating themselves, their colleagues and their bosses.

UNISON stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We will push for Israel to be held to account for its crimes — and organise to end our government’s complicity in them. Join us tomorrow. I’ll be speaking at the end of the march ⬇️🇵🇸

Anybody who accepts to serve on the board with Netanyahu, confirms they have absolutely no respect for international law and no interest in peace. The whole thing should be dead in the water now

But how will he find time outside of his principal role as chief advocate for Israeli football hooligans?

Interesting use of the word "cancellation", even more interesting burying the why of all this right at the bottom of the article: This MP is the vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel and visited since the genocide began.

Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.

This looks to me like a special “If a Libyan militiaman you’ve been allowing and maybe helping to travel back and forth to a warzone then blows up a lot of children at a concert in Manchester, a two-line excuse will prevent any further official scrutiny of your actions” exemption.

We may be doomed, but so are Labour

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

They always gave the position of the people in power, no matter how ludicrous it might have been, counterposed against people saying what’s actually happening. This just looks especially bad now, because the people in power are so very obviously malignant liars and fascists.

Coote given 9 months SUSPENDED SENTENCE for making indecent images of children. English law is a JOKE.

The most generous explanation for this is that he's an idiot who just hasn't even bothered to look at how vaccines work. The worst is that he's deliberately spreading misinformation that will put actual lives at risk, in order to please his conspiracy-theory loving base

There we go. That there’s a headline.

I can help you out with that John mate

Huh, curious

the darvo government 'im abusing immigrants; criticise me you are racist' - mahmood 'im killing trans ppl; criticise me you are homophobic' - streeting 'im murdering disabled ppl; criticise me you are mansplaining' - reeves 'im segregating trans ppl; criticise me you are misogynist' - phillipson

Sam Altman speed running a preventable global mental health crisis while melting the planet and setting up financial markets for the biggest crash since 2008 demands way more coverage than it’s getting imho 🧵👇

And she's since been rewarded by Starmer with a seat in the House of Lords

The government claims it wants to stop small boats crossing the Channel, yet its new policies will make it harder for refugees to bring their spouses and children safely. This will push more women and children onto dangerous dinghies. I asked the Home Secretary if this is really what she supports.

This is the guy who thought making asylum seekers live in a barracks in Inverness was too good for them and that they were too close to the city centre

The most incessant racist faction in British politics takes this message to be "racism works" (It has shifted politics + policy) (Laws believes it is important to racially harass minorities online and in person. He has left Homeland because it is too soft on forced removals of UK-born minorities).
