It was not just Trump who revealed himself yesterday. The total silence from @Keir_Starmer and his apology for a cabinet in the face of Trump's genocidal threat to Iran, even as they took immediate concrete action to ban Kanye West/Ye, reveals deep and profoundly troubling double standards. As we saw repeatedly with Gaza, the mass slaughter of Muslims really doesn't bother to our government; now even the threat of complete civilisational erasure is not worth a passing comment. Starmer just shrugged and let the B-52s take off with all their bombs primed and ready to drop on civilian targets. A total and irredeemable disgrace.

You come to the reluctant and sad conclusion that even a threat to wipe out a civilisation by an unhinged US President is still not enough to elicit any serious push back from the Prime Minister or his Cabinet. What have we become? theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

@DalrympleWill As soon as the U.S. announced a ceasefire deal, Israel started blanket bombing Beirut.
Netanyahu will keep killing until someone forces him to stop.

The negotiator of the ceasefire, Shehbaz Sharif, clearly says here in his announcement of the peace agreement that it includes Lebanon. Netanyahu went out of his way today to destroy the ceasefire by launching an unprecedented assault on Tyre & Beirut, killing at 254+ innocent civilians. Yet again, Israel drags the US & the wider region towards conflict & away from peace.
Shehbaz Sharif@CMShehbaz
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

🚨SKANDAL | Videoda gördüğünüz kişi Trump’ın oğlu Barron Trump. Şimdi onun 1 günde nasıl milyarder olduğunu anlatacağım:
— Trump'ın oğlu 50 milyon dolarlık petrol sektörü hissesi satın aldı.
— İki gün sonra babası İran'la savaş başlattı.
— Petrol fiyatları bir anda yükseldi.
🔴 Bombalar düşmeden önce satın aldı.
🔴 İran Hürmüz Boğazı'nı kapatmadan önce satın aldı.
🔴 Küresel petrol arzının %20'si tıkanmadan önce satın aldı.
🔴 Ham petrol fiyatları 2008'den beri görülmeyen seviyelere ulaşmadan önce satın aldı.
⚠️ Ve küçük bir yatırımcı bir anda milyardere dönüştü!
Baba oğul hepimizin iflahını kuruttular! Hepsine lanet olsun!

What the fuck.
Israel just blew up an entire village in South Lebanon. After getting away with genocide in Gaza they are doing it all over again in Lebanon.
It’s all part of their plan to illegally steal land from occupied Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria to form a Greater Israel.

The family of detained doctor Hossam Abu Safiya says they are “terrified for his life” and warn of a real danger threatening him, amid growing fears that the occupation may move to execute him following the approval of the law permitting the execution of Palestinian prisoners.
The family also confirmed that concern is increasing over the possibility of his name being included on execution lists, especially given the occupation’s previous refusal to release him and the ongoing attempts to fabricate charges against him steps they believe are paving the way for directly targeting him.

BRING ALL HOSTAGES HOME.
If you have forgotten about the other hostages, chances are: you are racist.

I’m a family doctor, and I join the call by @drtlaleng in demanding the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who remains in Israeli captivity for over a year. He has been subjected to severe torture. Our medical colleagues have been targeted for doing their jobs - release them all!

It is painful to see what Israelis are doing to the Palestinians -soldiers, settlers, security, police, very tangibly. This is not a war. It is to torture a people: physically and psychologically. And it is part of their erasure.

Avec une cruauté inouïe, des soldats israéliens se relaient pour passer à tabac un jeune palestinien près du camp de « Qalandia », au nord de Jérusalem occupée. C'est ça la conception occidentale du "droit d'Israël à se défendre"

Is Zionism learning from Nazism? Such inhumanity is frightening
ADAM@AdameMedia
May Golan, the Israeli Minister of *Social Equality*: “I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren” This is “social equality” in Israel. This is Zionism.

The Greens are now joint top of the polls for the first time ever. Polanski's wealth tax, windfall tax and £15 minimum wage policies are polling with huge majorities. Starmer is at -46% approval.
Is it time Britain considered a different kind of leadership?

Disgraceful action by @waitrose sacking an employee for stopping a shoplifter. He may now become homeless. This sends an invitation to shoplifters that they value thieves more than their staff.
