Anywhere else Trump's endorsement would go down like a lead balloon, but in Israel it will probably get Netanyahu re-elected. Fuck.

Well, the only good side of the riots in France might be that the repugnant Mélenchon doesn't get to the second round of the presidential election. I can but hope.

Netanyahu has disputed the attack on EU Diplomats including from Belgium and France that left them in hospital. It is time for Europe to Sanction Israel they are an enemy state.

This does in fact seem obvious to everyone apart from the people who came up with the policy.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

I think we can now safely say that the BBC's journalistic standards have left the building

“Unfortunately, I know very well that none of them will be prosecuted for what they have done and continue to do,” she said. www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I agree with the author of this article. The intransigence shown towards Gaza’s suffering by govs in Europe (compared to the outpouring of sympathy/outrage by ordinary ppl) has rocked the 🌍 and destroyed confidence in the fundamental principles of human rights.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Is anybody surprised?

Racists continually insist that black and brown people can never be English. Then they accuse them of 'refusing to integrate'. I mean, make your bloody mind up.

Beating up pensioners and vandalising curry houses in Gosport is not 'an expression of legitimate concern'

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... And the government is looking to appeal the decision? WTAF is wrong with Shabana Mahmoud?

The 'triple lock' would be these three in prison

@newsagents.co.uk Not quite sure why you think that you can't remove VAT in the EU • Spain: Cut fuel VAT from 21% down to 10%. • Poland: Reduced fuel VAT from 23% down to 8%. • EU Rules: Allowed minimum rates down to 5%. So you might not be able to remove it entirely, but you can certainly drop it

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

You should prosecute politicians when they break the small laws, because you won’t have the chance later, when they break the big ones.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s... And only last week he was shaking hands with that other antisemite Nigel Farage and planning to repatriate asylum seekers. C'est un branleur de première catégorie

Today’s speech at Labour conference by Andy Burnham sets a direction and plan of action that is true Labour.

'Water is a symbol of what has gone wrong with Britain. A service where the shareholders never lose and the public never win' PM Andy Burnham announces plans for a law change to allow public ownership of water companies 👏

Okay, I want to say that Andy Burnham has more about him than I gave him credit for. He feels like my kind of labour politician and I feel enfranchised again.

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

So so sick of hearing pensioners my age complaining about the idea of altering the triple lock. I don't even live in the UK and I think we need to do something with social care. Why are people so fucking selfish?

If I never hear from Sharon Graham, ever again, it will be several months too soon. She is typical of the intellectual dishonesty plaguing this country, which demands radical change, but objects to anything actually changing.

No threat but masked men in black get a pass. The Labour Party & Andy Burnham need to sort this out.

Just when you think Netanyahu has plumbed the depths, he manages to find a trap door to an even lower level.

Who ok’d helping fund hamas? We could define that as a “buddy”

Israel are biggest child killers in the world for the 4th year in a row. But still some people don't know it's a genocide. (They claim)

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

U.N. Live Updates: Trump Says He Faces Choice to Make a Deal or ‘Annihilate’ Iran www.nytimes.com/live/2026/09... So well said King Abdullah. Contrasts rather sharply with the American president threatening to annihilate another country which is a war crime in itself.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men". Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"? How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Holy shit I just saw a post about a company that is making washers and dryers with knobs and buttons. No screens, no shitzillion settings, no annoying little electronic song when it’s done. Could it be? They’re realizing we don’t need our laundry machines to post to Twitter or send faxes?

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.
