Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.

For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

There’s only one political party that massively increased its share of the vote on Thursday. Have a look at the graph. It’s the Green line. The line that goes up. The Green Party had an unprecedentedly excellent day. Whatever shit the media spouts.

If this truly spectacular increase in votes by Polanski & Green Party had been achieved by Tommy Bigot & Reform, the mainstream media would have had Tommy Bigot on the front page for a month. BBC crank Chris Mason would have spontaneously combusted, shot himself into space & beaten Musk to Mars!

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

To get to the point, whilst you have a debate about the definition of Zionism, what do you propose should be done to deliver perpetrators of genocide to The Hague pronto? No political party in the UK has a plan for this. I hoped the Green Party would have an idea? Thank you.

People can talk about whatever they like. At the same time, people who are committing genocide or any war crimes must be immediately arrested and brought to trail at The Hague.

Engaging in a debate about the meaning of Zionism is not going to stop the genocide & war crimes committed by one group of people against a second group of people. The international community must bring the perpetrators of these monstrous crimes to justice without any further prevarication.

That works out as about £70*per gull-head per year! Most gulls probably don’t live near a chippy with careless punters. So the ones that do are staggeringly greedy bastards! Must be the size of a house! *2.5m wintering gulls in UK apparently.

For Chris Mason, the misstep by Burnham about Man City and his subsequent correction is THE biggest political story today. It's a minor embarrassment, Chris, not friggin' Watergate.

Thanks for your response. I accept your figures, but would much prefer to multiply renewables (solar, wind, tidal) than build any more Hinkley Point C’s or modular generators - on the grounds of cost, public safety & security, environmental impact.

Politicians of all parties are obviously scared of ‘being found out’. We can all speculate what sort of stuff they’re up to. And often be correct! But, Byline Times is one of a small minority of news organisations that has the ability & will to expose politicians dodgy dealings with facts.

Regarding “flight of billionaires” that horrible people living in Dubai witter on about: the “flight” tends to be by greedy morons who already have “little people” to “sort out their tax affairs”. Good riddance. (Come the revolution) retrospective sequestration of assets could have some mileage?
