🚨 Right now, Tommy Robinson is in London claiming to speak for us. It’s the ultimate distraction from the very real problems we face. But we know the truth: migrants aren’t the problem, far-right billionaires are. ✊ Share this post to make it clear: Tommy Robinson does not speak for us.

World leaders have united to condemn Israel’s bomb attack on Hamas officials in Qatar, saying the strike was in breach of international law and have warned the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that they are prepared to do absolutely nothing in response. From the new Private Eye, out now.
