It has already become a regular feature of Burnham's tenure. No.10 and government ministers insisting that Burnham didn't say what everyone heard him say. "Clarification" it's called.

My latest blog piece, the £1 trillion cost of the Union to Scotland is revealed as Westminster embarks on a second theft of Scotland's natural wealth. Only independence can ensure Scotland’s vast energy wealth is used to benefit the people of Scotland. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/23/t...

According to international law people living under occupation have the right to resist their occupiers (& that includes armed resistance). If Britain was under brutal occupation would we be condemning attacks on occupying soldiers or supporting those fighting back?

How those cost of living crisis protests are going. 🇫🇷: Storm the Bastille, down with Macron! 🇮🇹: Hang Mussolini! Down with Meloni! 🇬🇧: Small boats! Ban the RNLI. Pitiful isn't it?

I know loads of people still don’t want to admit this, but sanctioning settlers alone doesn’t do much. These terrorists are literally backed by the entirety of the state of Israel. The IDF was there throughout this pogrom and stood by. They always do this.

Zelensky clearly trying to win over the far right in Europe by threatening the EU... with his own people. Some guy.

Anyone familiar with the official state narrative on the Ukraine War will find Lord Ponsonby's propaganda list published in his book, 'Falsehood in War-Time', very familiar. @medialens.org

The Telegraph must be so proud of helping me pretend that the main takaway from the exposure of racist Reform councillors is that investigative journalists should be prosecuted.

No one is above the law in the UK except those who are.

"[the attack] took place around 4am.. while people were asleep.. targeted a residential apartment.. killed a 33yo woman while her daughter was caught in the flames watching her mother burn" Meanwhile the UK media pretends a motion declaring zionism is racism is the problem

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's a graph.. no one really understands the graph but there's a graph, and someone as added a logo to make sure the graph has weight. I don't think any of us can now deny that with a graph and the honest words of this honourable PM, Russia won the match for Argentina. (note the sarcasm).

Israel is a terrorist state

Exactly. This smokescreen is ridiculous. 80% of the UK national media supported Brexit and used every lie, deceit and disinformation they would manufacture to promote it. But we're meant to believe that some Russian bots won the vote.

Maguire: ".. Robert Jenrick is talking about marines using lethal force against unarmed civilians.." Keegan: "He's talking rubbish" "Dangerous, vile, poisonous, toxic, odious rubbish" Well said Kevin. And lets not overlook the role of our toxic press too

I've been going through Blue Sky today and noticed a large increase in the amount of posts proclaiming events that simple didn't happen. It has been an increasing trend. This is just one example. It seems post-Truth isn't limited to Trump but is now universally adopted.

This is why Zionism is racism.

Prosecute the truth-tellers, shield the murderers: this has long been central to the Israeli government's genocidal policy. www.middleeasteye.net/news/netanya...

Streeting says the UK is providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia because Houthis are attacking civilian targets there Israel has been attacking civilian targets in Gaza for 3yrs & not only are you not providing Palestinians with military assistance, you're arming Israel!

In an excited column on the "Burnham bounce", Jonathan Freedland, the notorious anti-Palestinian racist and genocide apologist, calls Zack Polanski a "charlatan and a coward". Another timely reminder that the Guardian's main role is to keep the left tethered to neoliberalism.

3 more Jews who agree Israel doesn't have a right to exist.

Trump has Europe on a leash. It's pathetic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Neoliberalism is failing, but what is it? This is a new version of our infographic on neoliberalism. AI drew the image. I wrote the text.

The ICJ says Israel is an apartheid state. An independent commission of inquiry of the UN says its committing genocide. @sdoughtymp.bsky.social : "We have a strong & ongoing relationship with Israel" Yes, you're siding us with a genocidal apartheid state. Is that why you entered politics?

"Are they still a friend?" Middle East minister Stephen Doughty: "Of course they are still a friend & indeed a partner" Israel is a genocidal apartheid state led by someone wanted for war crimes. That's who we're friends & partners with.

Clearly the IPI Photographer was a member of Hamas (note the sarcasm).

Part of the British Establishment propaganda campaign over Palestine is to pretend the 2 state solution has a pulse, that way the reality facing Palestinians can be avoided even as Israel openly declares there will never be a Palestinian state. The Guardian of course as ever is onboard the lie.

I can't disagree with this at all. I would add the issue of Garvaghy Rd which has quite a few of the British political class questioning their own membership to an outdated predominantly male organisation which dabbles in sectarianism & links to paramilitary groups of a violent nature.

Israel's billions spent on trying to hide its genocide have only deepened global contempt for the murderous colonial project Via @skwawkbox.org

"Russia often uses real facts and citizens' concerns in its propaganda. Therefore, it can be difficult to recognize its influence," - President of Moldova, Sandu, Um... So Russia.. um.. reality.. OK, no, I have no clue what she is complaining about there either. "Stop mentioning facts" Maybe?

Imagine doing an interview with the President of Israel and not mentioning Gaza. The BBC is complicit in genocide. #r4today

A corrupt US politician, hold the front page. I would be more shocked if it was revealed a Republican wasn't corrupt, and that goes for most Dems too. The whole US political system is rotten with corruption, it is why Israel can buy it wholesale.

While Labour is busy throwing up a wish list smokescreen of aspirations (not even pledges) that are not on any kind of definite timescale (and definitely not in this parliament), they're getting on with the same day job. Nothing has actually changed. It's the Starmer era with a PR makeover.

Yet another INTENDED consequence of the Thatcher regime. Lest we forgot: To end the social care crisis and renationalise social care #SocialCareShouldNotWipeOutAllOnesAssets #UncaringUK

So far the Iranian plot that Burnham and Trump have confirmed consists of 5 guys in 3 vans carrying an oil transportation company logo which contained 1 barrel of diesel and several empty barrels. Unusually all suspects have been granted bail. Why is the media not asking questions?

Palestinian villagers wailed over the mangled remains of their olive trees on Wednesday after Israel's military uprooted them with bulldozers, days ahead of the annual ‌olive harvest, normally a source of joy for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

ZIONISM IS NOT A RACE OR RELIGION, IT'S A RACIST, COLONIAL, POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.

Israel is a pariah state #ArrestNetanyahu #FreePalestine

Police have made 2700+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This cannot go unchallenged. www.amnesty.org.uk/get-involved...

I voted Remain in 2016 but I would vote against rejoining the EU now. The reason being that the EU in 2026 is not the EU of 2016. The EU now cares nothing for the social or economic well being of Europe and its citizens, it is wholly dedicated to its ideological war of civilisations.

Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds 16 September 2025 GENEVA – Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.

Ed Balls: "Am I right to say this is a massive announcement" Wes Streeting: "It is a massive announcement, Ed" Labour has a majority of 158. Kicking the (social care) can down the road for another 3 years isn't a massive announcement.

Die Linke won the Berlin election and the establishment has gone into a frenzy, co-opting in its genocide-tolerant campaign Die Linke's powerful Zionist wing. We stand in solidarity with the good people in Die Linke resisting all this. diem25.org/berlin-voted...

Just so we're clear, the warmongering hysteria coming from western governments is *checks note* .. *checks note again* .. *takes note to light to make sure*..um.. a Russian plot. Obviously even the batshitters are finding the current batshit too batshitty so it of course has to be Russia behind it.

Seems the entire UK media engaged in hysterically pushing the state's Russia-Evil narrative isn't enough for the British neoliberal political class. They're now wanting their own disinformation centre, as if the BBC wasn't enough. Comes hot on the heels of calls to jail dissenters.

Ex-Tony Blair adviser wants to jail opponents of a war with Russia Tony Blair's former adviser, Paul Richards, defends the indefensible on GB News' State of the Nation programme By @skwawkbox.org

So most support it or don't care.

They don't have any self-respect though as they are vassals.
