@owenjonesjourno The polling is clear, people in Britain do not agree with arming Israel nor the rest of Britain's extensive role in this genocide.
The rest of the world sees it clearly. We are so subservient to American and Israeli interests. You'd think the so called patriots could see it

@NizMhani @declassifiedUK Declassified are a shining example of what journalism should be. Constantly shaming thise at the Guardian, BBC and obviously the rest of the gutter press

Absolutely amazing journalism by @declassifiedUK.
The man responsible for approving arms sales contracts with Israel conveniently failed to disclose his membership with the lobby group Labour Friends of Israel.
And he has no response....

🗞️ Leaked body-camera footage obtained by Haaretz contradicts Israeli police claims surrounding the violent arrest of a Palestinian Israeli prosecutor in southern city of Be'er Sheva, showing officers storming his apartment, pinning him down, and “beating [him] mercilessly,” despite no visible resistance, according to his lawyers and footage.
The prosecutor was hospitalized and underwent surgery for a broken nose and serious injuries to his eye and kidneys.
The raid began after an off-duty officer living nearby filed a noise complaint, then entered the apartment without a warrant alongside two other officers.
After the family demanded they leave, police later returned with reinforcements, forced their way inside, and arrested the prosecutor along with two relatives — a doctor and nurse at Soroka Medical Center — who were also repeatedly beaten during the raid. All three were imprisoned for three days.
According to testimony, officers mocked the bleeding prosecutor during and after the beating, while Israeli police later accused the family of assaulting officers.
Story and footage are linked below.

@PeterMcCormack Every time they raise minimum wage or indeed when they first creates it greedy multi millionaires like this claim there will be disaster but really the opposite happens. No doubt the workers would do a better job of running it collectively anyway
English

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.
I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.
Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions
These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.
Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.
Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.
Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.
There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.
So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.
Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.
The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

Very strong from Starmer - pledges to prosecute "globalise the intifada" - should go further and criminalise red triangle which has been hijacked by Hamas

@koshercockney @DouglasKMurray The man is a total idiot. It wasn't immigration policy. British agencies allowed Libyan extremist groups safe haven to organize here then armed and sent them back to help overthrow the Libyan government to get their oil. That caused a failed state and more refugees and misery

This is a must listen and a must share.
Seriously. The BBC at its very worst.
And this isn’t even @DouglasKMurray at his very best, yet he’s utterly brilliant.

@infolibnews Is he a total extremist, being paid a lot of money to lie or both?

@AlinejadMasih Congratulations on this and all the suffering to come of it. You did your bit to make it happen

This is tonight in Tehran. Explosions everywhere, and people are terrified.
At the same time, the Islamic Republic has shut down the internet, leaving millions in darkness and forcing families around the world into painful uncertainty about their loved ones.
Silence, fear, and suffering, this is what ordinary Iranians are living through tonight.

Sir Richard Dearlove is the MI6 chief who provided false information about WMD, giving Tony Blair the excuse to commit British forces to the illegal Iraq invasion, with terrible consequences. Here he says that Britain must join the equally illegal US/Israeli assault on Iran:

@BBCPolitics Well said Zack. Are we to total vassals ? A war for genocidal Israel and a mad President in need of a distraction. These overseas bases we service on behalf of our American masters need to be shut down and our personel and equipment brought home
