Imagine looking at present day politics and thinking it has had a "leftward turn". Our entire commentariat is a sick joke.

A clarion call to all arriving in Liverpool for Labour Party conference: tax us, the super rich. We’re proud to pay and here to stay.

50-100,000 people (depending on who you believe) on the streets of Berlin. Meanwhile, according to YouGov, 62% of all German voters believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

Keir Starmer says he's known for 10 years that the left has got it wrong on immigration & wasn't listening to peoples concerns Really? Because 5 years ago he said the left wasn't bold enough in talking up the benefits of migration. He really is the most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Typical BBC - always puts the awkward bit right at the very end. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"What this study is showing is that the injuries we're seeing in civilians is compatible with the use of munitions designed for maximum tissue destruction" Surgeon Victoria Rose on a study by the British Medical Journal.

Presenter "The offensive is ongoing in Gaza City now, the Israelis have been pushing for Palestinians to leave the city..." Aseel Baidoun from @medicalaidpal.bsky.social : "I want to emphasise what Israel is doing... is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians..." Presenter "Something they of course deny"

I think of digital ID cards as akin to the voter ID laws passed by the Tories. It fuels a lie that there are a lot of illegal immigrants unfairly working or claiming benefits, and if only we had the instrument we could find them and stop them. Not true!

Mass walkout to clapping and cheers as Netanyahu takes to the podium at the UN general assembly. The chair calls for order in the hall several times.

George Monbiot on the Gaza 'holocide'. This article is a powerful and horrifying case that Israel's crimes in Gaza exceed genocide. #r4today www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

National Security Advisory: IKEA ORÂNJEKŪNT sideboard poses direct threat to national security. If encountered, do not approach, do not assemble. Report suspicious packaging or shipments to the Commission On Valuables, Furnishings, Electronics and Fixtures Enforcement (COVFEFE) immediately.

The IDF lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies..... www.reuters.com/investigatio...

South Park: Kyle's mom vs. Benjamin Netanyahu

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Tony Blair as governor of Gaza is a simply grotesque, obscene notion. The sheer squalor of the western ruling class is unbelievable.

‘Does anyone seriously believe the Israeli Govt will allow a Palestinian Authority with a fresh mandate to govern the West Bank and #Gaza? That they’ll agree to a ceasefire while losing control of Gaza - allowing journalists and NGOs to return to fully document a genocide? #r4today

Donald Trump saying he will 'not allow' #Israel to officially annex the West Bank is, finally, his admission that he has allowed Israel to commit genocide in #Gaza. #r4today

The extent to which the US Government openly works for the Israeli Govt is really a sight to behold. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

BBC journalists just can't help themselves. They would never bother to raise Russian denials in the same way.

The presenter asks Martin Roux from Reporters Without Borders: "How important is it for journalists to actually be on the ground [in Gaza]?" Martin points out Palestinian journalists are on the ground doing their jobs & Israel is killing them. The presenter issues the obligatory Israeli denial

Jay Matthews is a theatre nurse in Gaza & he explains after people have amputations the only pain relief available is paracetamol "how do children handle that kind of pain?" "Some don't.. they can't manage what they're going through. They'll be left with those scars for ever"

In this Michael Parkinson interview, Ronnie Barker discussed his love of wordplay.

How do you take seriously a claim from Trump that he won't allow Israel to officially annex the West Bank when the US has spent decades helping Israel do it unofficially? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Francesca Albanese: ".. the impunity that has been granted to Israel.. there are layers of complicity.. Europe is the most disappointing of all, because liberal democracies in Europe have proven the fragility of their own systems in order to protect Israel and Israels crimes"

"It feels that I've been very effective, I've hit the nerve" Francesca Albanese has been personally sanctioned by the US govt because of her work as a UN Special Rapporteur. #C4News asks her how that feels?

#C4News: what about Russia? You can't just focus on Israel Francesca Albanese is UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories. That's her job! Russia isn't occupying them, Israel is. And yes, compare the different reactions of the west to Russia & Israel

Pathetic.

Aussie Dr Nada Abu Alrub, who is working at Al Shifa hospital, says the IDF are now just 400m away We know that when Israeli forces storm hospitals in Gaza they murder Palestinian healthcare workers & abduct others, disappearing them into prisons where they are tortured & killed

The great noticing continues. #GMB discussing the Labour right group 'Labour Together' not declaring their funding while Corbyn was Labour leader (because they wanted to hide it while they plotted against the then leadership)

Italy using its navy to protect the #Samud #flotilla. It should escort the flotilla all the way to the #Gaza shoreline. UK govt, why don't you protect British citizens the same way? www.trtworld.com/article/9c6c...

It's time to 'annihilate the people of Gaza.' youtube.com/shorts/47ut_...

At the end of this shirt video, there's an excellent example of how easy it is to mishear the word 'colour' as 'category'. youtube.com/shorts/MSJUo...

It's surely the responsibility of other world leaders to repudiate Trump's lies in the strongest terms. This man is nothing less than a traitor to his species.

Abolish the #UN veto. Expel any permanent member that objects. Stop being bullied. Stop asking the abused to negotiate their freedom with their abusers. Enforce international law.

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

How it started // How it’s going

Abolish ICE

Any peace-keeping force should have a UN mandate and operate in all of the Occupied Territories, not merely Gaza. And Israel will never allow this to happen, short of total capitulation to the US Govt. www.axios.com/2025/09/22/t...

Man who publicly talked about people injecting themselves with bleach to combat covid says paracetamol causes autism #GMB

The BBC is so utterly feeble in the face of the US and Israel. US attempts to disrupt the UN are 'unusual' and their legality 'unclear' where, if this were Russia, the adjectives would be 'outrageous' and 'illegal'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

Trump needs to recognise that US defiance of global opinion has limits and end the genocide. #r4today

The gradual annexation of the West Bank is 'something Palestinians will tell you' is happening, the BBC reports. So, impossible to objectively establish, then?

The Palestinian embassy in London raises the flag. youtube.com/shorts/k1b0v...

Germany is the key to this in Europe. How much longer must the genocide continue before the German govt realises that you can't atone for one genocide by abetting another? www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/is...

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

I’ve been burnt out to a crisp by the summer we’ve had & I’m going to be taking a bit of time off the daily news cycle to recover. Keep the fascists from the door while I’m away now won’t you.
