A catastrophe is underway in Syria tonight. Govt forces are pushing into the north east, clearly intent on occupying the whole region and destroying the SDF, our allies. ISIS prisoners are being released. SDF fighters tortured and executed, gleefully filmed by govt forces. US enabled this.

I was at the same school as Farage, two years below him. Even in a racist school, Farage was notorious for his shameless and blatant racism. He was called ‘NF’, the same initials of course as the National Front. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform deputy leader dismisses claims of Farage’s past racism as new witnesses come forward
Richard Tice says testimony by about two dozen people about party leader’s school days is ‘made-up twaddle’

It’s basically crap that the king has ‘private income’, which will now sustain the ghastly Andrew. He gets about £25m a year from the Duchies which were appropriated by the crown from previous owners and today not taxed. Basically theft or paid for by taxpayers like everything else they took.

This is a hollow, performative gesture that will do nothing to stop Israel’s colonial project to erase the Palestinian presence in Gaza and the WB. Only sanctions might, and only might.

The only issue right now is to stop Israel's genocide. Its intent could not be clearer. Recognition is a red herring. It won't change anything. The Israelis will complain but they will not stop. Europeans are playing a game - '2 state solution', 'peace process' - that ceased years ago

The US is on the verge of martial law. In due course, and if he thinks he will lose them, Trump will suspend the mid-term elections. The excuse, as now, will be the “emergency” of illegal migration, possibly combined with terrorism, drugs or disease. Mark my words.
