*Retailers see opportunity to boost sales of tumble dryers by telling desperate right-wing journalists exactly what they want to hear*

This is some incredible visual investigative reporting by the NYT. "entire streets are now moonscapes of white rubble and shattered concrete, with little left to mark where homes or businesses once stood"

If the government wants to tackle the "online breeding ground of antisemitism" why on earth are Keir Starmer, the government and @heidialexander.bsky.social still posting on X? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Anti-Semitism was *always* acceptable at many dinner parties. And golf clubs. And other private members’ clubs. Posh antisemitism - Boris Johnson-style antisemitism - raised a chuckle and let’s have another G’n’T. The lies about this are ridiculous.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "The 50 wealthiest families in this country own more wealth than 34 million people. That's unsustainable. The govt say there is no money left. There's plenty of money. It needs to be in our communities, both for the environment & for the people we serve"

I am astonished and disgusted at the sheer amount of people in this country who can't use the word 'and'. I am distressed at the attacks on British Jews AND I am horrified at what Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon. I am scared for myself AND I am scared for my Muslim neighbours and fellow citizens

Yes, and it’s not like she’s alone in this position.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Antisemitism and Jewish safety is not some abstract concept for me. In fact, in the last 6 weeks alone 2 people have been arrested in relation to antisemitic actions towards me and yesterday the Times newspaper published a vile antisemitic cartoon.."

I didn’t spend two years sneaking about like a creeping little prick, sending snotty WhatsApp messages and handing dossiers of Facebook screenshots to Sunday Times journalists for insane national panics, just so we could lose five hundred council seats to the Greens and concede Wales and Scotland

Farage is colour. He's conflict. He gives journalists something to write about. He generates clicks. The media adore him because we live in an age of Politainment and he brings the goods. It's a fucking disaster for Britain but hey it pays the mortgage for folks at News UK.

If we really are to root out the evil of anti-semitism in British politics then one of our first steps must be to condemn the systematic use of anti-semitic tropes by Nigel Farage and his fellow travellers on the right www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Israel has now killed 2618 people in Lebanon. Please spread the word.

Librarians must be magic.

Fwiw I don't think protests should be banned. If people are doing illegal things on them they should be arrested under existed laws. Otherwise it's important to protect free speech.

Starmer doesn't see his role in the current position. Public see a genocide on the news but UK politicians deny and in fact support Israel. Public becomes anti-Israel hence the protests as a result. This is a country issue. Countries where politicians reflected a balanced view have less problems.

LGBT+ bar burned down last week by a homophobe, now a guy in critical condition after a homophobic attack in Bristol. Media footnote. Whereas the 2 guys in Golder's Green - who are both alive/home, warrant PM statements, wall to wall media & the police saying this? Guess some count more than others

SKY NEWS: UK Terror threat level raised to "severe" ^ All very nice. I wonder what the threat level is in Palestine today? I wonder what the threat level is in Lebanon today? ^ I mean: 150,000+ babies, children, women & men massacred vs Fired up ambulances & an unhinged assault on two men

🇷🇺 ‘Reform uk’ is a Ltd company, directed and funded from Russia (via tens of millions in Cryptocurrency) 🇷🇺 ‘Reform uk’ (formerly the brexit Party) was created for the purposes of destabilizing governance and society within the uk, as part of Putin’s hybrid war on western countries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

five million more reasons for Farage to be shat out of the British political system just dropped

Hi Chelsea Do your foreign and black players realise that Rupert Lowe's xenophobia and racism are officially condoned ...

Note that - John Terry currently works at Chelsea as a part-time *youth* academy coach and *mentor*. 😓🤦🏻

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Stabbing random Jewish people on the streets on London has no justification. This should go without saying, but here we are. Anti Zionists have to be committed to making Jewish people be safe, wherever they live. Otherwise they're just making the case for the Zionists, aren't they?

"The US Supreme Court..has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances." A British King just did a better law interpreting US law than some Justices have...

Underscoring that it was really was a touch hipper than its inspiration & rival “Blue Peter”, the 1973 Annual of children’s ITV show “Magpie” had presenter Susan Stranks in a 1971 design by Bowie favourite Kansai Yamamoto: “I don’t know quite when I’d wear it, but it’s certainly very colourful.”

This is fkn outrageous…does any one still wonder why the majority of the electorate have nothing but utter contempt for the cesspit that is Westminster?

Two news stories today which tell the tale of what Britain has become: first, the collapse of health and life expectancy in the UK; and second, government MPs going on the attack for being called out for voting on legislation whilst they’re drunk They down champagne, while the poor die young

This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

STUBB: Most credible security guarantee Ukraine has right now is 800,000-strong armed force and capacity to conduct modern warfare unlike any other NATO member state. Tide has actually turned. We Europeans have to understand we need Ukraine more than Ukraine needs us. They know how to do this thing

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

A preview here of what we should expect all channels from 2027

Hi everyone, Our team at @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social are walking 23 miles from Glasgow to Balloch this Sunday to support refugees & asylum seekers. If you want to support our efforts, it would be massively appreciated!!! Please give what you can: shorturl.at/Y8dyT Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

24 April 1892 | A Polish woman, Stanisława Grzybowska, was born in Przasnysz. In #Auschwitz from 29 September 1942. No. 21097 She perished in the camp on 2 January 1943.

Oh Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Nothing screams "taking back control" like being the hand puppet of a US-based Christian legal group that thinks the 16th century was a bit too progressive. It’s truly heartwarming to see a "British patriot" like Nigel Farage so dedicated to

Abolish the Home Office

Congratulations to the Georgia Women’s Basketball team For Making it out of the capitol without being raped by those honoring them.

The more I hear and read about the genocide in Palestine (and now Lebanon?) the more I become determined to never vote for any party who did not oppose this. A red line has been crossed. Believing in nothing other than money and might will destroy democracy and the West. Fuck them all.

On this day in 1914, a Czech Jewish man was born. On the 15 May 1942 he was deported to Theresienstadt with his wife and on the 17 May 1942 to the Lublin Ghetto. They both perished in the Shoah. His name was Karel Bloch

I am old enough to remember when that charlatan Farage said leaving the EU would get immigration 'under control'. Now he says we must all lose our human rights, leave the ECHR, leave the Refugee Convention and deport 1m people to get immigration 'under control'. And still some people listen to him

The Home Office is inept and immoral, and the ground zero of anti Black racism in the UK. www.blackcurrentnews.co.uk/p/jamaican-m...

If students are not allowed to counter protest bigots, free speech really is dead

A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

Nationalization was followed by the British blockade starting in 1951, followed by two years of instability, including power conflicts between the Shah (yes, there WAS a Shah - the monarchy was not "imposed" by the West; in fact the Shah signed off on nationalization) and Mossadegh.

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup. He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal. He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage. He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

The extent to which YIMBY and techbro influencers in the 2020s get hyped up about centralised megaprojects is eerily reminiscent of the poetic odes 1920 and 30s Communist intellectuals churned out about steelworks and dams at the heart of Stalinist 5 year plans

On this day in 1880, a Czech Jewish woman was born. Suffering from dementia, on the 20 Jun 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt where she perished, on the 10 Jul 1942, after being interned for 10 days. Her husband perished in Auschwitz. Her name was Marie Bauerová
