@henrywinter Jim was referring to immigrants that migrate to the UK, don’t work for a living and claim benefits.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is entitled to his views even if many disagree with them. What he is not entitled to do is embarrass #MUFC. What Ratcliffe is not entitled to do is make Carrick’s job more difficult by potentially upsetting some players, more than half from overseas... 1/2

@Bart91452028 @kamilkazani where did you get communism from? sounds far more like just very mainstream european social democracy -which has been working out pretty well for those countries that use it (if the happiness indexes are anything to go by)

A populist takeover within the Democratic party is a very good thing, actually In its current shape ("optimates") it is so weak that it just cannot serve as a viable opposition

@danielcincu @kamilkazani has it ever been tried? certainly not in my lifetime. also, wasn't bernie polling v favourably vs trump before 2020 election?

@kamilkazani It's not, because left wing populism is not a winning formula in the US as a whole, and never has been. Only progressives in deep blue districts believe such a thing.

@ChristopherJM @khalafroula @AmyKazmin @hallbenjamin @FT I don't see this quote in the piece?

Meloni on Trump-Putin and Ukraine: "Donald Trump says often, if I sign a deal, even with Russia, they will respect the deal. I believe it. While Trump is there... The problem is what happens after." via @khalafroula @AmyKazmin @hallbenjamin @FT ft.com/content/96d023…

The entire world has been reliant on these Palestinian journalists as our eyes and ears inside the warzone that is Gaza - with each of their killing, our window into what’s happening is impacted

@DagogetaTv last verse of Know the Ledge. My favourite of any rapper, not just Rakim

What's one of your favorite verses from Rakim?

The final moments of Palestinian Doctor Adnan Al-Bursh's life have been revealed through claims made in new testimony by an inmate at the Israeli prison where he died. Sky’s John Sparks has been speaking to those who saw him in his final days. ➡️ trib.al/AssGt4O

The Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists says the IDF documents claiming to prove the journalists are terrorists "don't appear to be credible" trib.al/JYrrb3Q

Three journalists have been killed in southern Lebanon after an Israeli strike on housing well-known to be used by several media outlets. The area is not under Israeli ‘evacuation orders’ and was chosen by journos because it was viewed as relatively safe.

"I am not affiliated with any Palestinian militant group or wing. Me and my colleagues are independent journalists. We represent the voice of the people, and work among civilians to cover the Israeli army's ongoing crimes” - news.sky.com/story/al-jazee…

This gruesome act is a war crime. It's not a close call. Alleging the presence of a military target does NOT make it ethical or legal for the IDF to slaughter displaced civilians...in a tent camp...at a hospital. How is it even possible that this still needs to be said?

IDF spokesman said the strikes in the Lebanese capital Beirut were targeting Hezbollah’s ‘central headquarters’. The strike appears to be in Dahiyeh right on the doorstep of a sprawling Palestinian refugee camp which is home to about 25,000 people

Truly extraordinarily powerful interview of Dominique de Villepin, former Prime Minister of France, on Gaza. I can't stress enough how rare it is to hear a former French PM speak like this. He says France "no longer has a voice on the international scene", because (among other things) of its "double-standards" and lack of action with regards to Gaza. He calls France's internal silencing of what's happening in Gaza a "real scandal in terms of democracy", making France live in "absurdity" and resulting in it "fading away". He says that we (France and the West in general) would have many levers to stop the war - in terms of armament or economic sanctions - "but we refuse to use these levers with arguments which are absolutely unreal culturally or intellectually speaking. Saying 'we need to let Israel fight its war to the end': but what end? What is the end?". As a consequence he says that France and the West will "foot the bill" for what's happening in terms of loss of credibility and legitimacy. On Gaza specifically he calls it "undoubtedly the biggest historical scandal since... I don't even dare to find a reference", calling it a war "not like the others since it is civilian populations that die". He also rebukes the journalist for using the usual term "according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health" with regards to the number of death: "There's not only the Ministry of Health from Hamas which says that there are 40,000 dead. And there are probably many more, MANY more! So from this basis let's not give the feeling that it would be a number like that, unreliable. No!" Probably the most powerful quote of the interview, literally gave me shivers: "In Gaza bodies are torn into pieces, Hearts are in pieces! Souls are in pieces! Heads are in pieces!" ("À Gaza les corps sont en morceaux! Les coeurs sont en morceaux! Les âmes sont en morceaux! Les têtes sont en morceaux!") He says that ""Israel has no political objective and when you have no political objective the only thing you can do is war... There is a security objective, there is an identity objective, there is a messianic madness and that explains the catastrophe that we're witnessing."

Any English football fans who don't want England to win willing to offer a few quotes on reasons why for a feature?
