I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

The BBC has goven Farage a platform to air his vile views for over a decade, if they don't cover the Channel 4 expose in full they can give up all pretence of being an impartial broadcaster.

#BBCNews has a cosy chat with Nigel Farage, while #c4news investigates him. That's why Channel 4 News is the best news service in the UK.

What is the point of Andy Burnham blaming Brexit for ‘decade of low growth’ in first address to MPs if he is going to do nothing meaningful about it? It’s utter madness.

Farage is celebrating Iceland voting 'no' in a referendum on starting EU accession talks. But unlike Britain, that country is already in the single market and the Schengen area.

Netanyahu is determined. He won’t stop unless he is actively stopped. It’s not about selling a few less weapons, pleading, expressing outrage & maybe ending a trade negotiation we never should’ve been in. It’s about aggressive sanctions now, expelling the ambassador & our military delivering aid.

Just off the phone with President Zelenskyy. We are coordinating closely on the next steps. Europe has adopted its 17th package of sanctions. An 18th package is being prepared with further hard hitting sanctions. It’s time to intensify the pressure on Russia to bring about the ceasefire.

Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel? "The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge." It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With its bombing of Syria, Israel has now attacked five countries in just 12 months - Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran (I’m half-remembering a strike at a base in Iraq but can’t be certain.) Trying to think how unusual that number is. Probably goes back to WWII for something similar?

And they wonder why no one is upset when a health insurance ceo is murdered
Tweet from @KayeSteinsapir reading:
"It's disheartening when your child dies, you make the excruciating decision to donate her organs (which substantially compounds your grief and trauma), then you have to pay $3150 because your insurance company @AnthemBCBS wouldn't pay to keep her body alive for donor recipients."

Below is a screenshot of a claim summary from Anthem showing "Support For Organ Donation" and that she owes $3,150
