The most incompetent European leaders in history.






Just found this picture. Incredibly sad day. Just a tremendous loss for America.

Andy Burnham has just voted in favour of Shabana Mahmood's Immigration and Asylum Act, an Act opposed by 80 Labour MPs colleagues and slammed by refugee groups and Alf Dubs himself. It will make successful asylum seekers in this country more marginal and vulnerable. A pitiful capitulation to the moral panics of the far-right.


It is shameful that the Church of England General Synod has recommended engagement with Kairos II. This is a document full of falsehood, which openly rejects dialogue, uses extreme rhetoric to challenge the very existence of Israel and objects to existing peace agreements in the region. Though it poses as a route to understanding, Kairos II in fact functions as an egregious barrier to it, reducing one of the world's most complex conflicts to a single, warped narrative, which can only harm the cause of peace. This is a sad day for Jewish-Christian relations.

I have seen firsthand the anxiety in our Jewish communities and the very real threat they face. Their safety will be a priority for me - we must do more to stamp out the scourge of antisemitism and protect Jewish communities across the country. This funding boost is a welcome and necessary step towards that. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

More than £250 million (€293.38m) is to be invested into increasing policing in Jewish communities after a spate of violent attacks "so Jewish communities can live and celebrate their faith free from fear," the UK government has said rte.ie/news/world/202…

David Lammy last week: "I think that history will write up the Keir Starmer period as tremendously strong on foreign relations.. & in part that's because.. actually he came into office with a powerfully strong compass in relation to foreign policy"

An IDF combat veteran had an emotional outburst at the Knesset, shouting at lawmakers as he demanded expanded access to medical cannabis, saying he cannot carry on with his life after fighting in Gaza.
