This is so embarrassing. They came to Cuba in their hundreds, carrying less food then they would end up eating there, only to tour around in little buses and party at private concerts while Cubans continue to suffer repression, poverty, shortages and power cuts. How much electricity did this little concert cost btw?

BBC News sent a reporter to the University of Kent to interview students queueing up for a meningitis jab. As is the rule for all BBC reports like this, at least one of the interviewees must be a cross-dressing man wearing a Palestine badge

Can a person write a column about The Lindy West Discourse that also touches on The Gail’s Discourse? Let’s find out, in this week’s @thetimes column! Love is never having to say you’re polyamorous thetimes.com/article/7b88ec…

Well, George, you would say that. You have spent the better part of four decades saying it, in one form or another, about every regime and terror organisation that set itself against the West and against Israel. You saluted Saddam Hussein's courage and indefatigability. You glorified Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah at the Al Quds rally in London, saying it out loud and on the record. You personally handed cash and vehicles to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza in 2009, telling the assembled press conference: this is not charity, this is politics. You carried a Palestinian passport issued by Hamas. You described the October 7th massacres as a concentration camp breakout and called the terrorists who carried them out fighters. You have been photographed with Hamas leaders on multiple occasions. You built your entire political career on the Islamist-Left alliance, founding Respect with the Socialist Workers Party in what Nick Cohen accurately described as a coalition between the Trotskyist far left and the Islamic far right. Your electoral success in Rochdale was hailed as a huge victory by Nick Griffin of the BNP, which tells you everything you need to know about the political territory you now occupy. Iran's right to defend itself. Let us examine what that defence looks like. Iran built and funded Hezbollah, which has spent thirty years embedding itself in Lebanon and firing rockets into Israel. Iran built and funded Hamas, which carried out the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust. Iran built and funded the Houthis, who have been attacking international shipping for over a year. Iran supplied the drones and ballistic missiles Russia has been using to kill Ukrainian civilians. Iran plotted twenty assassinations on British soil in two years. Iran hit RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Iran has massacred over thirty thousand of its own citizens who dared protest against the regime. It has hanged dissidents in public, executed gay people and imprisoned women for removing their hijabs. This morning Iran fired ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US-UK base in the Indian Ocean, revealing a missile range far exceeding what it had publicly declared, putting virtually every capital in Europe within reach. That is the regime whose right to defend itself you are asserting. You are not a defender of the oppressed, George. You are a consistent and lifelong defender of whoever happens to be pointing a weapon at the West and at Jews. The record is too long, too detailed and too thoroughly documented to be dressed up as principle. Christopher Hitchens, who knew you well, said you were one hundred per cent consistent in your support for thugs and criminals. He was right. You have not changed. The thugs and criminals have simply run out of road. "You described the October 7th massacres as a concentration camp breakout and called the terrorists who carried them out fighters. You have been photographed with Hamas leaders on multiple occasions."

This is so poor. They make various directly political points and then hide behind "but we're just musicians" when asked to comment on human rights abuses perpetrated by the Cuban state: channel4.com/news/kneecap-i…

Manchester United are six points clear of Liverpool with 7 Premier League games to go. At the same time last season, Manchester United were 35 points behind Liverpool. A 41 point turnaround in 12 months.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

Once again, the University of Toronto is hosting its deeply antisemitic 'Israel Apartheid Week'. Arab Israelis make up: 22% of Israel's population 30% of Israel's doctors 20% of Israel's university students 50% of Israel's pharmacists They also serve as judges all the way up to the supreme Court. So how does an institution whose main directive is education allow hateful misinformation to be propagated on its campuses for over 2 decades? @UofT

@krassenstein @emilysavesusa Hypocrites too on top of delusional cult members who praise the word of…..Trump

Karoline Leavitt: “President Trump is only focused on one thing: defeating Iran.” Note: Trump is playing golf all weekend at Mar-a-Lago for the 15th straight weekend.

Anti-war demonstration in London today Comment: Today’s protests saw Arab doctors within the National Health Service taking part in medical uniforms, using the moment of Israel’s involvement in the war against Iran to voice criticism of Israel and express support for Palestinians. The scene is likely to intensify ongoing concerns among some Britons and Jewish communities about impartiality and professional conduct within the NHS.

Here's a list of decisions this season alone that should be included as evidence in any complaint: - Nathan Collins pulled back Bryan Mbeumo in the box, DOGSO incident. Only a yellow card + penalty instead of a red. VAR (Andy Madley) did not intervene. Unanimous KMI Panel error, should have been a red. Howard Webb admitted it. - Amad brought down in the box by a back-leg challenge from Maxim De Cuyper. Anthony Taylor waved play on, VAR upheld "no penalty." Clear foul in many people's view, no review despite contact. - Emmanuel Agbadou handball in the box. VAR (Stuart Attwell) did not send Michael Salisbury to the monitor. Clear penalty per rules, inconsistent with a similar situation later in game (& was given). Official KMI error. - Lisandro Martínez's goal disallowed for minimal contact/foul on Kyle Walker vs Burnley. Stuart Attwell was referee, Craig Pawson was VAR. KMI Panel ruled it a clear error (no foul), PGMOL reportedly apologised. - Patrick Dorgu was on the ground near the touchline, Walker deliberately stamped on the back of Dorgu's leg, with no attempt to play the ball. Attwell gave nothing & VAR did not intervene. Ex-PGMOL chief said Walker should be charged & suspended. - On Opening Day Matheus Cunha was denied a penalty after a foul by William Saliba by Simon Hooper. Fans & media argued it was a stonewall penalty, no VAR intervention by Paul Tierney. - Aaron Wan-Bissaka's bad tackle not given a second yellow that should have been a straight forward decision & red card. Andrew Kitchen did nothing. - A pile of evidence from Stuart Attwell's pathetically inept display vs Bournemouth.The no penalty for Amad & everything it caused in its aftermath. Manchester United should speak out & stand up for themselves more, because nobody else will. Whenever a controversial decision is made, the other side of it is always discussed by either the media or rivals.

Oh Dicky, you really are the gift that keeps on giving. 😂 🇮🇱

Aye, such a "formidable voice" that the BBC first silenced her and then bullied her out. Save us your crocodile tears

This is what the Conservative Party did to all of us! Never let it happen ever again!

‘Anti-Zionism’.

You can literally watch the colour leave Dave’s face, as he realises he’s eventually going to have to answer how its simultaneously possible to nod along, pretending to understand & yet still insist that women can have a penis…

⚠️ MIDDLESBROUGH: A man who pretends to be woman, "Kairah" Kelly, 25, caught with horrific CSA images of children as young as 6, has walked free. Defence said Kelly has had a "difficult life due to gender dysphoria". Judge Amanda Rippon said isolation, mental health difficulties & alcohol" had "led to the offending". 🚨Judge Rippon fails to understand that the only thing that "leads" a person to watch and enjoy sickening child abuse - is being a n0nce. She handed him 2 year community order including a MH programme, alcohol abstinence for 120 days and 20 days "rehab". Absolutely pathetic and sickening.

Arguably one of the top ten greatest achievements in a single frame of snooker and as the camera pans to the crowd some of them have barely looked up from their phones to applaud.
