@ZackPolanski How do you ‘give’ power and wealth to people exactly? Where does it come from ?

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

@Keir_Starmer This is emblematic of the problem - just more vacuous slogans in lieu of vision and delivery. You just aren’t a leader by any measure, sadly. Brilliant legal mind perhaps, but that’s a different thing. Kemi hit the nail on the head when she said, ‘we need a leader not a lawyer.’

My government will end the status quo that has failed working people. We will build a stronger, fairer Britain.

@Heccles94 So is Polanski the solution? He’d ruin this country quicker than he jumps to attack police trying to disarm a lunatic who just unleashed a stabbing frenzie against Jews in Golders.

Nigel Farage has 5 houses. Zack Polanski lives in a house share with 5 other people. The media is trying to tell you Zack is the problem.

@JuwayriyyahAlam @JohnCleese I’m not sure where to start with this twisted post. Your moral compass and grasp of reality need checking.

@JohnCleese Absolute rubbish. British Muslims have never supported terrorist groups. We've never supported a state or a militia involved in killing. British Jews overwhelmingly support Israel.

If British jews are to be held responsible for what happens in Gaza...then by the same reasoning British Muslims should be held responsible for the massacres of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her? What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’? What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals? How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone? The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.” @WestminsterWAG

@MrImranPk Not with IRGC barbarians in charge - are you joking!? I don’t go to countries where protesters are slaughtered in their tens of thousands, thank you.

“If you got a chance to visit Iran for free after the war ends, would you go?”

Same move. Same hand on the heart, same wave to the crowd. Musk did it and gets called a Nazi to this day. Mamdani does it and those same people have not said a word. Well, not exactly. Once the side by side clips went viral, some of them did speak up. Not to apologize to Musk. To defend Mamdani. Suddenly the gesture is not the gesture. Suddenly we need to talk about arm speed. Whether the fingers wiggled at the end. Whether he was smiling. Whether his grandparents were in the right party. A year ago none of that mattered. The hand went up, the verdict came down. Now we get a forensic seminar on millimeters and microseconds to prove Mamdani's arm moved slower. Mamdani's own press office said "in no way was this a Nazi salute." Funny. Musk said the same thing. His did not count. Mamdani's did, instantly. That tells you everything. The "Nazi salute" thing was never about the gesture. If it were, they would be screaming right now. They are not. It was about Musk. They hate him because he is the richest man in the world and he was attacking their ideological piggy bank with DOGE, so they smeared him. Mamdani is on their team, so he gets a pass, plus a defense team running stopwatch analysis. Same hand, opposite verdict. A wave is a wave. The rule does not change based on who is waving. When it does, you are not watching principle. You are watching a hit job.

A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims. The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones. Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating. Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter. Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?quillette.substack.com/p/what-did-you… Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy. There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West. But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: youtube.com/watch?v=K7fJuz…) Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault." And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases? I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@EzeugwuMartin @piersmorgan

Hamas was created by Israel to deligitimize the Palestinian state. Hamas was created the same way ISIS was created - by Mossad. No one on the pro Palestine side should be defending Hamas as that's what the likudniks and Netanyahu want. I get on idiot White Nationalists for pushing global majorities into the arms of their sworn enemies. I hope the Palestine Liberation movement doesnt make the same mistake

Absolutely horrific, and even worse than we already knew, which I didn’t think possible. Including clear evidence of appalling sex crimes by Hamas which their deluded defenders have always denied.

@piersmorgan I’m glad you’ve woken up, Piers. Everything changes, doesn’t it?

@lisakeb007 @DailyMail Sadly not. They’ll just attribute this to more ‘conspiracies’ - all orchestrated by the victims of course. The hard left abandoned facts a long time ago. The ideology can’t survive it, so they had to.

"Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot, and burned. They were executed both during and after rape amid an orgy of violence where 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage." I wonder if this will make certain flag waving, scarf wearing lefties question if they're on the right side of history 🤔

So far Starmer’s efforts to save his skin have been a classic case study in how not to save your skin: The most unpopular Labour PM in history (Starmer) calls in aid the second most unpopular Labour PM in history (Brown). With most Labour MPs despising you and willing to grant you, at most, a civilised stepping down over some months, you say you’ll be in power for a decade. Labour MPs’ worst nightmare. You commission a propaganda film of you, Brown, Rachel Reeves and Harriet Harman looking smug and self-satisfied in the Downing Street garden, complete with meaningful music. How divorced from public opinion can you be? You signal you’re fresh out of new blood (Brown? Harman?) and new ideas (getting close to the EU is the best you can come up with — hardly a game changer). You think a ‘reset’ speech (again!) can turn things round? You’re truly delusional. THE END.

@afneil And the very same self-awareness and judgment has been setting the direction of this country for two years….

@didnthappen101 @afneil Except that wouldn’t happen. It would be bad for everyone

@afneil You would be really angry if Scotland became independent and was able to be a thriving nation wouldn’t you?

With all 136 English councils counted: Reform gained 1,451 seats Labour lost 1,496 seats Tories lost 563 seats Greens gained 441 seats LibDems gained 155 seats In other news north of the border: The SNP won 58 seats with a 33% share of the vote (need 65 for a majority). In the previous 2021 Holyrood elections they won 64 seats with a 44% share of the vote. So down six seats and 11 percentage points on five years ago. Not quite the momentum for independence the Nats are claiming. Will be quite easy for Westminster to bat away calls for another Indy ref.

@aron_arnarsson @WarMonitor3 Are you joking, or serious?

@WarMonitor3 United States & NATO total global dominance is over. They are a paper tiger, destined to be torn by the winds of change if they do not face this reality that very powerful Russia, Iran, China, North Korea will dominate them on the battlefield⚠️

US airforce F-35 has started to broadcast an emergency single 7700 after it was seen flying south of Iran over the strait of Hormuz. Not good...

AOC vient d’expliquer aux Américains que les milliardaires sont des voleurs. Le problème, c’est que les voleurs dont elle parle ont sorti 6 milliards d’humains de la misère pendant qu’elle apprenait à parler dans un micro. Reprenons ce qui devrait être une évidence : qui a réellement sorti l’humanité de la pauvreté ? Ce n’est pas une question rhétorique. C’est une question historique avec des réponses précises. En 1820, 90% de l’humanité vivait dans l’extrême pauvreté. Aujourd’hui, moins de 9%. C’est la révolution la plus massive de l’histoire humaine. Qui l’a faite ? Pas les bureaucrates. Pas les députés. Pas les commissaires politiques. Les entrepreneurs. Citons-les. Nommons-les. Parce qu’on a oublié à quel point on leur doit tout. James Watt. Sa machine à vapeur démultipliée par Boulton transforme l’énergie disponible par humain d’un facteur 100. Sortie de la misère agricole pour des centaines de millions de gens. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Réseaux ferroviaires qui transforment les États-Unis d’un archipel de fermes en économie continentale. Prix du transport divisé par 20 en 30 ans. John D. Rockefeller. Avant lui, le kérosène coûtait l’équivalent de 3 jours de salaire pour s’éclairer une semaine. Après lui, quelques cents. Standard Oil a sorti des dizaines de millions de foyers de l’obscurité littérale. Andrew Carnegie. Acier passé de 170$ à 17$ la tonne. Sans cette baisse, pas de gratte-ciels, pas de ponts, pas d’infrastructure moderne. Tout ce qu’AOC tient pour acquis dans New York existe grâce à un “robber baron”. Henry Ford. Production de masse de l’automobile. Une Model T en 1908 valait 825$. En 1925, 260$. La mobilité, jusque-là privilège aristocratique, devient bien commun. Ses ouvriers gagnent 5$ par jour quand le marché paie 2,34$. Norman Borlaug. Pas un milliardaire, mais un entrepreneur agronome. Sa révolution verte a sauvé environ 1 milliard de vies par augmentation des rendements. Un milliard. Plus que tous les programmes étatiques de l’histoire combinés. Sam Walton. Walmart a baissé le coût de la vie pour les ménages américains modestes d’environ 2300$ par an et par foyer. Pour les pauvres, c’est 25% de pouvoir d’achat en plus. AOC voudrait fermer Walmart au nom des pauvres. Bill Gates. Microsoft a transformé l’ordinateur d’outil de spécialiste en infrastructure universelle. Productivité mondiale démultipliée. Et il consacre maintenant sa fortune à éradiquer la malaria, qui tue 600K personnes par an, principalement des enfants africains. Steve Jobs. Apple a redéfini l’interface entre l’humain et la machine. Smartphone dans la poche de 4 milliards d’humains, dont l’agriculteur kenyan qui peut maintenant accéder aux prix de marché et au mobile banking. Jeff Bezos. Amazon a baissé les prix de la consommation pour des centaines de millions de foyers, donné une logistique mondiale aux PME, et permis le passage de l’économie physique à digitale qui a soutenu l’économie pendant le Covid. Elon Musk. Tesla force toute l’industrie à passer à l’électrique 20 ans plus vite que prévu. SpaceX divise par 10 le coût d’accès orbital. Starlink connecte les zones que les États ont été incapables de connecter en 50 ans. Jensen Huang. NVIDIA fournit l’infrastructure de calcul qui rend possible la révolution IA actuelle. Sans lui, pas de ChatGPT. Sans lui, pas la prochaine décennie de productivité mondiale. Maintenant, jouons au jeu inverse. Citez-moi un seul bureaucrate, un seul député, un seul commissaire politique qui ait sorti des centaines de millions de personnes de la pauvreté. Je vous attends. Mao : 45 millions de morts dans le Grand Bond en avant. Staline : 6 à 9 millions de morts dans l’Holodomor et les famines de collectivisation. Maduro : 90% de pauvreté au Venezuela, sur le pays qui détient les premières réserves mondiales de pétrole. Castro : île qui exportait du sucre et du tabac transformée en ruine économique. Le pattern est invariant. Quand des gens qui n’ont jamais créé de valeur décident de “redistribuer” celle des autres, le résultat est la destruction de la valeur elle-même. Toujours. AOC parle de “wage theft de 50 milliards par an”. Ce chiffre vient de l’EPI, un think tank syndical, et inclut largement des erreurs administratives sur les heures supplémentaires. Mais admettons-le tel quel. 50 milliards sur une masse salariale américaine de 11 trillions, soit 0,45%. Pendant ce temps, Elon Musk seul a créé environ 1 trillion de valeur de marché en 20 ans. Bezos environ 2 trillions cumulés. Gates 3 trillions. Jensen Huang 4 trillions sur la dernière décennie. L’asymétrie est vertigineuse. Et AOC veut nous faire croire que le problème, c’est les créateurs de valeur, pas leur absence. Sa thèse implicite : les pauvres sont pauvres parce que les riches sont riches. C’est faux historiquement, mathématiquement, et empiriquement. Les pays qui ont le plus de milliardaires par habitant (USA, Suisse, Israël, Suède) sont aussi ceux où les pauvres vivent le mieux. Les pays sans milliardaires (Cuba, Venezuela, Corée du Nord) sont ceux où les pauvres meurent littéralement de faim. La vraie question n’est jamais “comment empêcher les milliardaires d’exister”, c’est “comment en créer plus”. Parce que chaque grand entrepreneur qui réussit, c’est des millions de vies améliorées par effet de levier. Si on veut moins de misère, il faut plus d’entrepreneurs, pas plus d’AOC. Plus de gens qui prennent des risques, créent des entreprises, embauchent, innovent, échouent, recommencent. Moins de gens qui n’ont jamais rien construit mais qui veulent légiférer sur ce que les autres ont le droit de posséder. La compassion sincère pour les pauvres, ce n’est pas la rage redistributive. C’est la création des conditions pour qu’apparaissent les Ford, les Watt, les Borlaug, les Musk de la prochaine génération. AOC ne défend pas les travailleurs. Elle défend une classe politique parasitaire qui prospère sur le ressentiment et a besoin que les pauvres restent pauvres pour conserver son électorat. Le vrai vol, ce n’est pas le “wage theft”. C’est la captation par la classe politique de la richesse créée par les entrepreneurs, pour la redistribuer selon des critères clientélistes plutôt que productifs. Chaque dollar pris à un Musk pour être donné à la machine étatique américaine, c’est un dollar qui aurait pu accélérer la transition énergétique, l’accès orbital, ou l’IA. Et qui devient à la place un dollar de salaires de fonctionnaires fédéraux. Le choix civilisationnel est simple. Soit on fait confiance aux gens qui ont prouvé qu’ils savent créer de la valeur. Soit on fait confiance à ceux qui ont prouvé qu’ils savent en parler. Je sais lesquels ont sorti l’humanité de la misère. Et ce n’est pas ceux qui tiennent un micro de podcast en accusant les autres.

@AlinejadMasih @Kasparov63 That regime must fall. I am astonished that Trump didn’t plan for this, instead assuming they’d be desperate for ‘peace’ and compromise.

Arrested. Silenced. Hanged at dawn. This is Iran in 21st-century: A photo of the lifeless body of the heroic martyr Sasan Azadvar, who was executed for protesting. Imagine building a life for 21 years and losing it to a system that treats human beings as disposable. Twenty-one. That’s not a criminal mastermind. That’s someone who should be figuring out life, not losing it.

@domdyer70 Really focusing on the big issues of our time here 🤦‍♂️

I’m with the plumber

@NoToMisogyny @MOSSADil @BlondShelley Welcome to imported sectarianism

@MOSSADil @BlondShelley Imagine how sick in the head you have to be to target innocent people living in a completely different part of the world

🚨 DEVELOPING: STABBING ATTACK ON JEWS IN LONNDON Reports are coming in of a stabbing incident in Golders Green, a heavily Jewish neighborhood in London. Initial details: ▪️Two people reportedly stabbed ▪️Victims believed to be Jewish ▪️Large emergency forces on the scene This is a developing situation, and details are still being confirmed. (Israel Live News)

@RacheousR88 @MOSSADil So if Muslims in [pick any Muslim majority country] do something ‘bad’, are Muslims who have nothing to do with it, but happen to live here in the UK, fair game? Is this your moral framework?

@MOSSADil It will only get worse if you jeep bombing all your neighbors.
