Hello again and welcome to Day 1048 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine. All the important news from, and about, the two countries in one place. I cut the cr*p, avoid the gratuitous gore, fact check and analyse everything. Please support independent journalism and Ukraine.

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain. It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

@BrandonKin23551 @dave43law God, you lot are stupid.

The Telegraph have no respect for the victims nor for the work that Starmer and others did to expose the grooming gangs Instead they pretend that it is a cover up MUSK of course has retweeted this as fact

@iamisgo11 @BeckettUnite And now we are at the end result of that process, a genocidal war on civilians and children.

@iamisgo11 @BeckettUnite Stop your gaslighting. Israel is an occupying power and is in breach of multiple UN resolutions, and has been for decades. It has exploited its own peace deals to further its settlements and control over those territories, setting up an apartheid system to do so

Israel 🇮🇱 have launched an attack on the only intensive care unit in north Gaza 🇵🇸, at Kamal Adwan Hospital. They have set fire to it. It is now out of service. This is a genocide. Starmer 🇬🇧 is still selling weapons to Israel 🇮🇱 He is complicit.

Palestinians have been saying this for 440 days but now that Haaretz says it maybe it will be believed.

@iamisgo11 @BeckettUnite Is the illegal occupation over with yet?

@BeckettUnite Are the hostages free yet?

43 years ago, eight brave crew members @penleelifeboat launched in treacherous conditions to aid the Union Star. Tragically, 16 people lost their lives that night. This is the crew's story told by their children. It's also a tale of hope and community resilience. #RNLI #OTD

Planning, delivering, repairing and getting parts for this equipment consumes all my free time, and I can't really stay online much. So I would greatly appreciate if you can help me boost visibility of the post below: 1) repost and quote repost 2) like 3) comment Thank you!

@simonmontefiore @Channel4 Anti-genocidalism, the new anti-semitism.

@ProfDBernstein @Dr_mauraf The whole country is a graveyard.

@Dr_mauraf If that many people are dead, you’d see evidence from satellite photos of hundreds of thousands of graves having been dug. Of course, there are no such photos because those numbers are entirely a figment of your imagination.

If we are listening to The Lancet (July article) it’s likely that over 675,000 (some calculations are more like 1.125 million) Palestinians have been annihilated by Israel & paid for by the US in Gaza. Stop using the official numbers - they do not account for indirect deaths.

@LawrenceGridin @Dr_mauraf

@Dr_mauraf How dumb do you have to be to believe that over half of Gazans are dead?

It's important to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas; ghosts terrorising rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more.

@gidonsaar Israel, making anti-genocide anti-semitic

Today, I have instructed the closure of Israel’s Embassy in Ireland. The actions, double standards, and antisemitic rhetoric of the Irish government against Israel are rooted in efforts to delegitimize and demonize the Jewish state. The Irish government recognized a “Palestinian state” during attacks on Israel (a move praised by Hamas), attempted to redefine ‘genocide’ in international law to support baseless claims against Israel at the ICJ, backed politically motivated cases at the ICC, promoted anti-Israel measures within the EU, and fostered hostility toward Israel. Notably, Ireland is one of the few European countries that has not adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and its government has failed to take effective measures to combat the surge of antisemitism within Ireland. Israel will focus its resources on strengthening bilateral relations with countries worldwide, according to priorities that also take into account the attitudes and actions of these states toward Israel.

@Rebel44CZ Not cowardly idiots, just genocidal zealots.

If Israel wasnt run by cowardly idiots, those weapons would now be sent to Ukraine...

@fediaxxx @SamRamani2 And yet here you are.

@SamRamani2 Why people even follow this retard? He is always full of shit, just pedals the shit from BBC

Bashar al-Assad is seeing his control over Aleppo and Hama crumble My latest article for The Telegraph explains how Russia and the West paved the way for reheating the Syrian Civil War telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/0…

@__ace007__ @DavidLammy @UN Wrong, the only way to end the violence is for Israel to end its illegal occupation. No occupation, no resistance movements.

@DavidLammy @UN What are you doing to get the hostages back? This is the only way to get peace in Gaza and you are on the wrong side of history.

Together 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 have written to the Israeli government to urge action on the unacceptable humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel must implement @UN's winter plan now: send equipment to guard against cold & flooding, give access to fuel, repair vital infrastructure, and get aid in.

@HarperNonFic Fictional non-fiction. Natch.

Downfall is the explosive real-life political thriller, lifting the lid on the forces behind the self-destruction of the Conservative Party - and why it now stands on the edge of the abyss. Read the gripping, full story of scandal at the heart of Westminster - out now.
