On the 6th of October Israel had about 5,000 Palestinian prisoners. Today, *after the exchange* Israel holds at least 9,000 prisoners, most of them have not been charged. Conditions in prisons became intolerable after Oct 7. Torture and starvation are standard.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

The BBC plans to alter news “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama” in order to win the trust of Reform voters, Byline Times reports. The plan was drawn up by senior executives including Director General Tim Davie and former GB News executive Robbie Gibb.

MAGA Republicans are keen on the use of military force against citizens & the deployment of big tech for mass surveillance. This is a violent, authoritarian movement legitimised by anti-migrant rhetoric. If you don't want that here, we have to stand up before it's too late.

A senior officer in the Nahal Brigade tied an explosive cord around the neck of an 80-year-old Palestinian and used him as a human shield. After he had served his purpose, the soldiers ordered the man to flee with his wife, but upon being spotted by another battalion they were both shot dead

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Evening Standard profiling Farage as celeb/personality/icon to watch. He told it he's creating a "vetting department" so Reform doesnt "get caught again with lunatics & maniacs" But didn't answer Byline Times when asked why he was pictured with far-right activists Established press doesn't learn
