There is a tipping point - the hundredth monkey - where knowledge passes into the collective consciousness and all members of the group acquire that knowledge.

In February, Streeting released a selection of his WhatsApp communications with disgraced ex-Labour peer Peter Mandelson, which included:
“Peter M: Are you planning visit to US this year?
Wes Streeting: Hope so! X
Peter M: Need to plan. Lots of tech companies...to talk to.”

When a family member attempted to cross a barrier to embrace their loved ones, the Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) suddenly and shockingly responded with violence.
What should have been a moment of relief and familial comfort was interrupted by even more brutality.

At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape.
Shot with rubber bullets at close range.
Tens of people’s bones broken.
While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.
Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action.
“Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.”
Free Palestine NOW.

NEW: Former Israeli soldier Jonathan Kestenbaum has resigned as a director of Labour Together.
Last month, I uncovered the “IDF diary” of the Labour peer. Now, he’s stepping down.
Here’s what happened:🧵

On May 14th, the think tank of Morgan McSweeney fame relaunched with a new website and name: “Think Labour”.
The organisation claimed to be “more than a new logo”, but they retained the same company number as Labour Together Ltd., still registered as active on Companies House.

"I had my hands zip-tied behind my back for so long and it was so tight I almost started vomitting, they slammed my head into a table several times and degraded me as I was strip searched. They had me in handcuffs for 19 hours to the point my skin had begun to swell around them.”

How Israel 🇮🇱 treats the kidnapped peace activists:
• 180 on a ‘prison boat’
• 40 with broken ribs
• 12 sexually assaulted
• Tasers in the face
“We were tortured”
A humanitarian mission to break an illegal siege of Gaza 🇵🇸
Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

Words matter because they shape consent.
“Arrested” sounds legitimate. Forcibly detaining civilians in international waters and taking them by force to another country is illegal. It also has another name.
The media should use language that reflects reality, not obscures it.

BBC News: "... 400 activists were arrested in a port in Southern Israel after the navy intercepted their flotilla in intl waters" Israel attacked boats in intl waters & seized the people on board, taking them to Israel. I suppose arrested sounds better than piracy & kidnapping!

Itamar Ben-Gvir is not an anomaly in Israeli society. Hell, he’s not even an anomaly in the Israeli cabinet.
Here’s Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev, also bragging about torturing the activists who tried to bring aid to Gaza.
The entire barrel is rotten to the core.
Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער@gidonsaar
You knowingly caused harm to our State in this disgraceful display - and not for the first time. You have undone tremendous, professional, and successful efforts made by so many people - from IDF soldiers to Foreign Ministry staff and many others. No, you are not the face of Israel.

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Prem Sikka@premnsikka
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws leftfootforward.org/2026/01/public…

🚨 SCANDAL: Reform UK’s Thug Tactics on DISPLAY! 🚨
Reform have officially become the party of intimidation and bullying, with ZERO boundaries.
They stormed into The Hamlet cafe in Wakefield on Wednesday, overwhelming vulnerable young people with additional needs who were training there. No warning. Ignored the rules.
Turned a safe space into a chaotic media circus.
Gemma, the owner, is devastated. This wasn’t politics, this was thuggery.
@AndyBurnhamGM just dropped the full video. Every decent person needs to watch this.
#ReformUK: This is NOT how you win Britain back. This is how you lose all respect.
Shame on you. 🇬🇧

🚨 SHOCKING — These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be run…
Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:
“I don’t understand the Constitution…
I don’t understand standing orders…
I don’t understand what an amendment is.”
Then they whine it’s “not democratic” they might vote on things they don’t understand
This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.
Handing real power to people who don’t even know where to start is how countries collapse.
Watch this embarrassment 👇👇👇👇CC: @LesTrumpeter

Now there's a very, very good question.
Thames Water have now admitted that they are not treating (dousing) their sewage for phosphate due to a "supply issue". That by the way has a massive and negative impact on water quality and aquatic life.
Funny they didn't mention any of that until they were called out on it.
How many other WCs I wonder are having supply issues?
Paul Jennings@PJennings88
The @RiverChess test the Chess for phosphate levels and surprised to discover levels of up 1.99ppm at the @thameswater Chesham STW. A spokesman said “Due to a supply issue affecting one of the treatment chemicals" they were unable to fully treat effluent. Reported to @EnvAgency

“The fact that he is known as a vulture capitalist should tell you everything about how inappropriate this deal is … these kinds of people are there to suck the lifeblood out of our utilities and public services, and this deal should not be rushed through.” – @labourlewis

Justin King, the ex CEO of Sainsburys, says price controls on basic food items (so people can afford to eat) are a nonsense.
In 2013 it was reported that King got an £8 million pay packet for the previous year.
