@haugejostein Pretty predictable, I'd say, though I know what you're getting at. No way would the Nobel committee give their bauble to a nation which proves the superiority of a planned economy over a capitalist one.

It's pretty wild that the Nobel Prize in Economics has never been awarded to an economist based in China.

Hannah is on the money! Well done Hannah Spencer!!

14 UK citizens abducted by Israel Cerrie Bullivant Chris Hill Dana Raumanova Esme Nickerson Elliot Roberts Hannah Sharpey-Schafer Hasnain Jafer Hughie Stirling Karim Awad Katy Davidson Malcolm Ducker Peter Henderson Richard Anderson Veronica Guillen @Keir_Starmer ANY ACTION?!

Flotilla participants are arriving at Istanbul airport. This is what Israel military and prison personnel did to them.

This Labour Party practice of putting up stooge independents to split the vote is what I believe happened to me when I stood against Keir Starmer in the general election. They put up a stooge called Wais Islam to try & split the Muslim vote. To the credit of the local community he was identified as such & lost his deposit! In just 6 weeks our community campaign came 2nd, halving Starmer’s vote

@haaretzcom Far too little, far too late isn't it, Haaretz? No more than a sick joke, in fact, considering what they haven't spoken out on. Sadly, from here your country appears to be in a pathological condition, overwhelmed by its innate hatred and violence.

Netanyahu, Israeli condemn Ben-Gvir over treatment of flotilla activists haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

I can't imagine what would happen if Russia kidnapped 500 European Citizens from Intenational Waters, and then paraded their abuse on National TV. It certainly wouldn't be the ALMOST complete silence we have from Western Media and Politicians.

🚨 NEW: London Mayor Sadiq Khan has blocked the £50m Met Police deal with Palantir, citing a "clear and serious breach" of procurement rules

⚡️BREAKING: The New York Times obtained autopsy reports for 14 of the 15 people killed in the March 23 Israeli attack on an ambulance and fire truck in Gaza. The reports show that most victims—paramedics and rescue workers—were killed by gunshots to the head, chest, or back. Four were shot directly in the head [executed]. Others had shrapnel wounds. Despite wearing medical uniforms and traveling in marked vehicles with sirens, they were shot multiple times at close range. Israel initially lied about the crime committed then later took responsibility once the lies were exposed. The 15 victims included 14 rescue workers and a UN employee. Israeli soldiers buried the bodies in a mass grave and crushed and buried the ambulances, fire truck, and UN vehicle.

@BoardofDeputies @gidonsaar 'Not the face of Israel', my arse. He's so obviously the quintessential expression of its current brutalised, gloating, pathological state.

We share in the disgust and condemnation of the actions of Israeli minister Ben Gvir, including that expressed by Foreign Minister @gidonsaar and others in Israel. The mistreatment of these detainees is utterly inexcusable and inimical to our values. Ben Gvir's actions time and again have trampled on the democratic principles on which Israel was founded. We call on all responsible authorities in Israel to ensure that the protection of Israeli security is conducted always in line with the rule of law.

For those who don't know how this works, Reform are supported by the owner of X. All their accounts are centrally run and 1000s of bots are programmed to like their posts as soon as they go out. This is a form of election fraud no one is talking about yet. Rob's account is run from the US. Good local Makerfield boy. It's all such a grift.

🇺🇳 Several UN officials threaten to resign after internal emails exposed how top leadership coordinated with Israeli diplomats to soften war crime language in official reports. One staffer: “We’ve become a PR agency for genocide.”

Why aren't you summoning Israel's Ambassador and demanding immediate release of the captives with an apology? That's what France, Italy and the Netherlands are doing.

@YvetteCooperMP What a genocide-enabling hypocrite you are. Years of turning a blind eye to Israeli atrocities, and actively criminalising protests against them, and now this fake outrage. Unless you're prepared to vote against arming and succouring Israel you should keep your mouth shut.

I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla. This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated. We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support. We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.

China is BRAGGING about controlling US elections: Oh wait, it's Israel

🇪🇸 An Israeli user jokingly posted: "Do you think Spain is a failed state?" A Spanish user replied: "At least we are a state. You, on the other hand, are a terrorist organization that sexually exploits children."

@GBX_Press Desalination plants, not 'salt refineries'.

Scott Ritter, a former American intelligence officer: “If I were Iranian, I would dismantle Israel’s salt refineries right now. I would finish off Israel. Israel needs to be eliminated. It is literally the cancer of the planet.”

Didn't take long, did it? #Reform's Candidate in #Makerfield, Robert Kenyon, has his X account suspended for racist replies to a constituent, support of British Union of Fascists, and incitement to hatred & violence. He 'mothballed' his Facebook, I guess, for the same reasons.

The boat rides beautifully. She turns upwind like a dancer and falters into the still water under the house like a vessel of silk. — Lawrence Durrell, Prospero’s Cell (1945) Frédéric Boissonnas

@IvoTONIUT @DauphinRattle Warmongering idiots, at that. The European elites are dangerous fools, and their provocations of Russia are dragging us towards a war with the most heavily-armed nuclear poower on the planet.

Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas: “If Europe cannot defeat Russia, how can we defeat China?” You can spin it however you want, but the reality is that the European Union is an organization made up of id|ots.
