Mainstream coverage of the Israel-Hamas captives exchange exposes western media's enduring pro-Israel bias, as Israelis are humanised while Palestinians are erased from view

The front page of Time looks like someone’s painted a face of Donald Trump on a scrotum.

Claims he's just a regular journalist doing his journalising on behalf of the silent millions... checks out for me..

One of the few lines of defence we have against phoneys like Vance and Trump - and in the UK against Farage and his ilk - are journalists who hold them to account. Sadly, here we have too many Laura Kuenssbergs and too few Victoria Derbyshires www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Almost a decade ago, president of China Xi Jinping told the World Economic Forum in Davos: “Pursuing protectionism is like locking oneself in a dark room. Wind and rain may be kept outside, but so is light and air” Still true. White House bullies take note www.theguardian.com/business/201...

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda The BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

I'm glad Trump bombed out of the Nobel Peace Prize, but it seems the winner is no angel... www.commondreams.org/opinion/peac...

Lets make different political choices says Zack Polanski. Like taxing billionaires instead of blaming poor people. #bbcqt

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Simple question: should an adjudged rapist and 34-times felon, a stranger to the law and breaker of his pledge to uphold the constitution, as suited to high office as Herod was to childcare, become a Nobel laureate?

I did not make this up: Trump bragged that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize because he ended a war in "The Republic of Condo." I was not aware that this country existed, but to honor it I am posting this flag. #LongLiveCondo

Got to be at least 18 months since I've watched #BBCQT and the presence of a Labour clone, a Tory clone, a Reform gobshite and a Tory journo does nothing to make me watch tonight. However, the participation of @zackpolanski.bsky.social, one of the few MPs who speak honestly, just might.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Those giving Lenny Henry a predictable pasting for his comments on £18tn of reparatory justice arising from the slave trade should really learn more about the background and context, and then try having an informed conversation. That way they'll look less dumb. www.voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Reminder - carbon offsetting is a con. We have to BOTH stop burning fossil fuels and look after nature #ClimateEmergency #NatureCrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨New report: how the fossil fuel industry duped successive UK governments into pumping money into costly CCS schemes to ensure continued reliance on oil and gas.

The reason the case accusing two Brits of spying for China was that legally China is not "a country which represents at the time of the offence, a threat to the national security of the UK" It had nothing to do with political interference. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As it's #HarvestMoon... Enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Mt...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

[first day of work] me: so, when do i get to kick one? boss: we don't actually- me: how about that one? that one looks like kind of an asshole

The involvement of the Downing Street press operation in this is genuinely shameful. Someone present should use their question to grill the PM on this, on camera.

Beyond belief. Downing Street pandering to Trump by literally shutting down UK free speech. Shame on the government for its spinelessness. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

One of these captures the flummery and empty ritual of a fantasy, Ruritanian world. The other’s a picture from The Prisoner of Zenda.

In the parched wasteland that is our back garden I saw a tiny dot of colour on top of a 12ft wall - got a ladder, climbed up, found this.

Does saying this is excellent news mean I am liable to be arrested? Excellent news!

Palestine Action victory leaves cops and Cooper in a proper dilemma As a judge rules Palestine Action can challenge its proscription, what to do if your a cop trying to police this? And what to do if you're the preposterous Home Secretary Yvette Cooper? www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Missed this. That takes some guts from the councillors (and everyone else who has held up PA signs etc. since the ban)... www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Imagine if you were rushed to hospital with a heart attack only to be told the doctors would see you in September #FreePalestine #RecognisePalestine 🇵🇸

Rachel Reeves is seriously considering changing the law so she could overrule the Supreme Court if it rules that venal finance firms fleeced unsuspecting consumers of £44bn and should pay it back to the ordinary people they scammed. WTF Labour? Labour? My arse. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A starving body consumes itself, converting first fat and then protein from muscles for energy. Organs like heart and lungs shrink and begin to shut down, skin turns pale, gums bleed. It’s worst in children. A few plane loads of food won’t cut it. #Gaza www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

Apologies if saying this in this way causes offence, but Israel denying it’s trying to exterminate an entire people and blaming Hamas and the United Nations for the famine is as grotesquely disingenuous as the Nazis calling concentration camps places of protective custody #c4news

Tears of joy, or read and weep?

What next? Will @zarahsultana be declared an unperson? Shocking self-censorship from Hansard which removed the words "We are all Palestine Action" from the official record of a debate. How can it be trusted on accuracy?

How did this appalling dinosaur ever get the job?

My grandson (7) made a mask with Play Doh. I guess he’s going to be an artist or in the movies…

It's perfectly clear to anyone with half a brain that Kent Police cannot distinguish between a group classed as terrorist because it attacked property and an individual exercising her right to peaceful protest. Utterly absurd. #FreeGaza Israel IS committing genocide - there, arrest me.

Some champions are putting educational warning stickers on Israeli hummus 😎🇵🇸 www.facebook.com/BenPenningsP... #BDS #BDSMovement #nobusinessinGenocide

Irish activists in Belfast stamped BDS stickers on pro-genocide products.

An ultra orthodox party propping up Netanyahu's state-sanctioned slaughter in Gaza has quit because their own sons are not exempted from conscription into military service in the slaughterhouse No, really. Wouldn't the best way be to just stop the killing? www.reuters.com/world/middle...

What the BBC does: * always calls it "Hamas-controlled" Gaza * dumps the doc about Gaza because of the narrator's dad * dumps the doc on Gaza doctors for no reason What the BBC never does: * ask Starmer, Lammy, Nandy etc about the money they take from the Israel lobby BBC balance, eh?

WE really didn't need all that pomp, circumstance and money wasted on a State banquet for Macron when Starmer could have taken him to an even more British institution.

So far as I can see it is now a criminal offence to crowdfund for, host a crowdfund for, or contribute to a crowdfund for, Palestine Action. Not sure what defence there is - but the crowdfunding page is still up. www.crowdjustice.com/case/palesti...

Aaand breathe… #Hebrides

Solidarity with all clay based direct action groups

Only one of these pictures is not of Stornoway on a Sunday. Pleasantly peaceful, tbh.

Political protest, Hebridean style, in Lewis, where Donald Trump’s mother was born. The verse is about caring for others and going through the Pearly Gates, or not - and burning in eternal fire. Which one is Donald John destined for?

Scottish summer. Fab views. Skipper reckons there are islands out there. Somewhere.
