Israeli restrictions on essential goods dismantling Palestinian economy, ministry says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-restrictions-essential-goods-dismantling-palestinian-economy

Consequences of poverty, austerity and fiscal rules. People in poorest areas of England ‘more likely to need emergency care for lung conditions’ Poor housing, pollution lack of quit smoking support, low investment in the NHS inflict misery and death.

Bet365 CEO collects £280m (£104m salary + £176m dividend), pre-tax profits down from £627m to £349m. CEO collected around £2.67bn over the last decade. Gambling industry recently opposed increase in tax. Public purse bears the cost of gambling addiction.

"We have to have it", says Trump about Greenland. The felon has attacked Syria and Iran; threatened Nigeria and South Africa; wants to annex Venezuela, Panama, Canada, Gaza; started tariff wars Trump stupidity will erode US power, encourage more states to go nuclear & build alternative alliances.

#BBCBreakfast reports on Palestinians in Bethlehem celebrating Christmas. They forget to mention Bethlehem is under Israeli occupation.

Starbucks CEO makes $50,000 an hour —more than double what some baristas make in a whole year. Tis the season to side with Bob Cratchit, NOT Ebinezer Scrooge. DON’T BUY STARBUCKS (including gift cards!) while workers are on strike for unfair labor practices!

If Israel Gets To Undermine Our Rights, Then We Get To Undermine Israel, by @caitoz open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj...

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 70,000 Palestinians and destroyed or damaged over 90% of homes. Contractors in the US are now reportedly vying for contracts to rebuild the strip. Gaza’s future must be decided by Palestinians. Not by foreign powers or corporate greed.

Keir Starmer’s Labour government is prepared to let Palestine hunger strikers die. We cannot allow that. We must stand with the hunger strikers and immediate bail for the remand prisoners — now. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

👉 NEW — How British state secrecy just got worse By Gráinne Teggart The UK government must not use a new Supreme Court judgment as a blank cheque to conceal state wrongdoing www.declassifieduk.org/how-british-...

Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib have been on hunger strike for 46 days. They are at serious risk of death. They are in prison because the UK would prefer to lock up young opponents of mass murder than stop facilitating genocide. The Home Secretary must intervene.

🚨🇩🇰 BREAKING: Denmark has called for Israel to be expelled from all international platforms, demanding that global institutions hold it accountable for its actions. Clear message: An occupying power has no place among nations that respect international law.

The government states Digital ID will be mandatory for all adults by 2029 Whistleblowers say the system they intend to use, which is currently in use for some government services, fails to meet mandatory minimum cybersecurity standards www.itv.com/news/2025-12...

Major risks identified by people who clearly know what they're talking about. And the Government response is: 'Nothing to see here, move along'. This goes beyond incompetence. Labour are deliberately trying to fuck everything up, make our lives worse and open the doors to Reform.

MPs warn that UK agreements with Donald Trump are ‘built on sand’. UK bullied to pay billions more for NHS drugs produced by US companies, importing US beef, accept steel tariffs and more, without any reciprocity. Can't trust Trump. US wants dominance, not partnership. Rejoin the EU.

MPs laughed when Jake Richards dismissed Jeremy Corbyn’s request for a meeting on the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Laughed. This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

Fun fact: TWO films alluded to Bill Clinton's paedophilia. Clinton *praised* John Travolta's spot-on imitation of him in "Primary Colors". (Emma Thompson was also spot-on as Hillary.) But everyone involved in "Wag The Dog" became personae non gratae at the White House. It struck TOO close to home.

Trump Refused to Bow Head During Fallen Soldier Transfer Trump stood out as military officers bowed their heads for solemn moment in Dover meidasnews.com/news/trump-r...

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social The failure of the broadcast news to report this in main nes shows or call out the govt's authoritarianism is not acceptable.

"I think everyone should help out at a soup kitchen, or a place of refuge, at least once in their lifetime. Such an experience would open their eyes, as the people who come to such places are a mixture of our societies." #Homeless #Poverty #Austerity

It’s important to recognize, as we see more and more media mergers, that they are not about quality. They’re about control. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

All tourists to US will have to provide social media details from the last 5 yrs. Email addresses, phone numbers; names, addresses, and birthdays of family members. Plus face, fingerprints (already collected) and DNA data of visitors. Boycott the felon.

Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July. Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media. This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now.

Disabled people driving luxury cars on your dime? Just the latest rightwing lie peddled by Labour. Govts stigmatize people claiming benefits as scroungers, claim fraud is rife. Silence on corporate welfare, tax abuse by corporations/rich. HMRC failed to collect over £500bn tax since 2010.

WOW c 10k people have now watched Democracy for Sale's video about our new undercover investigation, with Led By Donkeys. An ex-Tory MP introduced our fake Chinese AI investor into MPs and ministers - and all for just £5k! 😱 Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKof...

Thames Water is a test for the British economy. It profits by ripping off customers. Pays dividends, doesn't invest. Since March TW borrowed £1.47bn. Paid £900m in fees/interest for the emergency financing. Can't address crisis without public ownership. archive.ph/oW8ck/again?...

🏥Many NHS trusts can tell us who they pay, but when it comes to ownership, it's another story. Each PFI deal hides behind layer after layer: one firm owns another, owns another. Construction firms, banks, facilities managers — all tangled up. 👉 everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...

David Lammy wants trial by hand-picked, authoritarian, anti-left, anti-green, anti-protest judge just like every fascist state ...

The UK government are trying to establish that, in the UK, it is illegal for anyone to state explicitly (eg to law students) what is a legal act. They are upending law so as to get rid of jury trials in favour of government lackey judges. open.substack.com/pub/craigmur...

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=4Ptdx0tQBOBOUin1

We still have 4 million poor children living without the basics. That still makes us among the most unequal and most poverty-stricken of similar European countries. This is a major factor in why British five-year-olds have now become up to 7cms shorter than children of the same age in Europe.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years. He's been on Question Time once. Nigel Farage, 44 times. Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

What did Karl Marx predict? He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level. He was right.

Royal Mail - Czech National Grid - Australian Thames Water - Canadian/Qatar British Petroleum - American British Gas - American The ripoff 'wonders' privatisation has given you.

The legacy of Margaret Thatcher is debt, immense debt, more than £10tn. Owed by the Government, owed by Privatised companies, owed by you. Paid out to billionaires in fake profits.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

There is no ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF are burning people alive in tents, they are killing children scavenging for firewood. The so-called Rafah crossing is a one way ticket to permanent exile coinciding with Israel’s actual depopulation plans of the Gaza Strip. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5kop...

This 'deal' to pay 25% more for US drugs in return for nothing will cost £3.3bn a year. NHS services will be cut, less drugs will be prescribed, you will suffer. So American Billionaires can be Trillionaires.

Great thread on why hepatitis B is such an issue and why the vaccine at birth was SO important.

The Oxford Union, one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most influential university societies, has elected a Palestinian student as its President for the first time in its 202-year history.

1. When did Jizzrael become part of Europe? 2. Why is Jizzrael allowed to partake in the EUROvision? Bravo Slovenia, Eire, Spain & Holland.... #BoycottEurovision #KickOutJizzrael

Six political prisoners who targeted factories arming Israel's genocide are weeks into a hunger strike. But in contrast to the IRA's 1980s hunger strike, this one is being blanked by the media. Read my latest here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-hunger...
