Norway has removed all of its $2tn Investment Fund from Israel linked banks, as it continues its policy of BDS against Israel. Well done Norway.

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

He’s not an elected official. He never has been. He could have stood in Holborn but he’s too 🐔… So why are the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social giving Zia Yusuf a platform to tell the country that Reform would instruct the Navy use “lethal force” against people in the channel? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reform are NOT in power, they may NEVER be in power. Why is this considered "news" BBC? It has not happened, cannot happen at the moment and may never happen. Report on actual news please.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting says the UK is providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia because Houthis are attacking civilian targets. Israel has been attacking civilian targets in Gaza for 3yrs, & the UK is still arming the IDF.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Pedro Sanchez declares his aim of completely equalising the pay between Men and Women. So there is no gender discrimination. If he succeeds Spain will be the first country in the world to do it. Luxembourg are the closest currently with Women earning 0.8% less than Men.

Right now Israel is invading Gaza and breaking the Ceasefire to blow up the last few habitable buildings and complete their Ethnic Cleansing so they can move onto completing their Genocide. And there is silence, TOTAL SILENCE. The West are as guilty of Genocide as Israel.

At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

In the last hour Israel have started dropping bombs on the few surviving buildings in Gaza, in their final steps to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza. All during a supposed Ceasefire.

Israel has demanded that Palestinians in Gaza evacuate from the last surviving Medical Centres. So they can blow them to bits. It's a Genocide, there is no Ceasefire.

I met my photographer friend Pete 30 years ago. We're both useless in big gatherings and love trees, records and books. Every six months, we do a big walk and tire ourselves out talking about everything. On yesterday's it pissed it down and Pete took this. "That's the photo!" he said, and it was.

Israel is far from the only settler-colonial state in the world. But it is one of the few that is still actively fighting to eliminate the Indigenous people it displaced.
