Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

🇵🇸 More than 70 children are among 100 Palestinians being laid to rest in Gaza today after their bodies were recovered from beneath their homes’ rubble, Dr. Muneer al-Bursh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry writes on X. Families waited two years, some longer, to bury them.

More than 8,000 people remain missing under the rubble, he says. Israel continues blocking heavy machinery needed to recover bodies, according to civil defense teams. Al-Bursh called for Israel to stop blocking rescue equipment, forensic supplies, and DNA testing to identify the dead.

He also accused Israel of mixing human remains with rubble, warning that this risks destroying evidence. In the southern city of Rafah, he said, bones have become mingled with debris. He urged action before Israel could conceal evidence of its crimes.

“Every set of remains bears a name, and every name a family that waits.”
Dr.Muneer Alboursh د.منيرالبرش

Translated from Arabic
Seventy Children in One Funeral… This Is What Genocide Looks Like

Today, Gaza lays one hundred martyrs to rest, more than seventy of them children, whose bodies were pulled from beneath the rubble of their homes after years.

These children should have been carrying their schoolbags to school, playing and growing and dreaming… not being carried from beneath the rubble to their graves.

They were not numbers; they were names and faces and little dreams, and mothers and fathers who waited far too long to bid their children farewell.

When children form the majority of a funeral of this size, the question becomes agonizing:

If this is not one of the faces of genocide, then what does genocide look like?

Gaza today is not only burying its children…
It is burying dreams that should have grown.

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought
