#bbclaurak: When you hear Zack Polanski(Green) says basically that we can borrow as much as we want in a different way... how does that sound to you? Andy Haldane(formally BoE): "lt's la-la land economics... this is not the time for funny money solutions... "

NEW - The government's asylum plan confirms that there is an intention to considerably ramp up the deportation of families - including children. Two senior Labour sources cited this to me as a major cause of unease within other parts of government theguardian.com/world/2025/nov…

🚨Smotrich: Gaza Aid Is Just Enough to Avoid ‘War Crimes’ Charges While We ‘Annihilate’ the Strip Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich gave a speech Monday defending Israel’s strategy of mass devastation in Gaza, saying humanitarian aid is only being allowed in “so the world does not stop us and accuse us of war crimes.” The goal, he insisted, is to “conquer, clear, and stay” until Gaza is dismantled beyond recognition. ▪️ On aid, Smotrich said only the care minimum will be allowed: “A few bakeries distributing pitas… a daily portion of cooked food. Citizens in Gaza will get a pita and a plate of food, and that’s it. That’s exactly what we see in the videos—people standing in line, waiting for a plate of soup.” The purpose, he admitted, is not relief but optics: “It allows the world to continue providing us with international protection.” ▪️ “We are annihilating everything that remains in the Strip,” he declared, “simply because it is one big city of terror.” He described the new military strategy as one of permanent occupation: “No more raids with ins and outs… we are conquering, clearing, and staying until Hamas is destroyed.” ▪️ He welcomed the shift toward targeting Gaza’s civil infrastructure: “The IDF is finally conducting a campaign against the civilian rule of Hamas… eliminating ministers, officials, money changers, and figures in the economic and governmental apparatus.” ▪️ Boasting of the scale of destruction, Smotrich said: “We are dismantling Gaza, leaving it in ruins with unprecedented destruction, and the world still hasn’t stopped us.” ▪️ He added that, personally, he would prefer a total blockade: “Until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip.” ▪️ Smotrich endorsed ethnic cleansing as official policy: “The population will reach the south of the Strip, and from there, God willing, to third countries, as part of President Trump’s plan.” ➡️ Drop Site’s @JeremyScahill unpacks all this and more in his latest report: “Gaza Aid Scheme Offers Israel Symbolic Cover to Finish the Genocide.” Link in reply.

“We have two straightforward messages for the Govt of Israel: 1️⃣ Allow a full resumption of aid into Gaza immediately 2️⃣ Enable UN & humanitarian orgs to work independently & impartially to save lives, reduce suffering & maintain dignity.” Joint Statement gov.uk/government/new…

@LukeGaughan @tomhfh well for one the people who love encryption most are pedophiles. Even the US has a law ( dating way back) that forces platforms to proactively hand over some data.
