It’s pretty nuts. Tom Watson’s very first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague @labourlewis.bsky.social detailing all the times the firm has monitored his anti-Palantir activities

94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside andy burnham's Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

That's it! Possibly the lamest govt response to a serious criminal incident I've ever heard. WTAF is going on inside their heads?

Hi, if anything I've posted is inaccurate I'm happy to be corrected. However, just to be crystal clear, when I use the word Israel I mean Israel and nothing else.

Yea, unfortunately he's an apologist for the genocide and ethnic cleansing. I mean that's an extremist surely?

This was brave from Miliband. He's done more than any other cabinet politician to advance the argument against Israel's theft of Palestinian land. Is it enough? No. Is it welcome, yes. Calling settlers terrorists in parliament is bold. Canada, France and others are following. A turning point?

There are times when you have to do what's morally right and take the hit. If we always cowered to the bullies we would never do what's right.

Yet you peacefully hold up a sign against genocide and the police will arrest you under terrorist legislation.

Funny that setting fire to buildings with immigrants in, attacking police and painting roundabouts isn't terrorism. What am I missing here 🤔

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

At least she's open to the conversation. It's an indictment on our media that she's never heard these truths before.
