The new film "Britain's Gaza Secrets Exposed" documents how the U.K. government downplayed evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza. "It's quite extraordinary, the level of duplicity that was going on, in order for us to keep selling Israel arms," says executive producer @bendepear.bsky.social.

Nigel Farage seems to think the best way to represent Clacton in Westminster is by never going anywhere near Clacton and never going anywhere near Westminister

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

"This is a film about a system. It focuses on orders, policies, and patterns of operation, not deviations from them. The mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza was not a “tragic byproduct” of a war against Hamas, but a premeditated, calculated, intentional act." www.972mag.com/naza-exposin...

‘NAZA’: Exposing Israel’s killing machine in Gaza
Our new film shows how Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians was a calculated and intentional act, through the testimonies of those responsible.

Right-wing populists spread the same scare stories of asylum & benefit fraud, & none of their claims stack up. Reform, AfD, Republicans... all operate with vastly exaggerated no.s or lies. Why do so many want to believe they live among cheats & slackers when all stats & research show that's not so?

Israelis are the main cause of antisemitism because they hide behind world Jewry for their right wing nationalist fascist extremism and constant violence, rape and murder. So, don’t ever talk about antisemitism unless you’re ready to go at Israel who generates it. www.threads.com/share/BCFrmS...

If Hamas lobbied grenades into Israeli civilian neighbourhoods for fun, you'd spend the next two weeks hearing about nothing else via Western media.
But when Israelis do it in Palestinian civilian areas, it's treated as so unnewsworthy that it barely survives two hours of circulating coverage on social media.

Wise words from Steve...
Short description: A sketch-style illustration of an anthropomorphic otter named Steve standing behind a cluttered news desk, holding a steaming mug of coffee against a pale blue background.

Baked-in text:  
Name tag on the otter’s chest: “Steve”  
Logo in the corner: “in Ötter News”  

Caption:  
“Do not seize the day. That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee.

Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual.

If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.”

Jeremy Clarkson has said that benefits claimants should be forced to write a letter to a taxpayer every week, thanking them for all their hard work that allows us to receive the money we need, so I did. Unfortunately I don't think the entire text will fit in alt text, but this is an email to my dad.

Farage claims the BBC are putting him "in danger" by pursuing his £5M crypto bribe. They must have done something really reckless, then, like calling for "cold, hard rage" from the public in response to it.
