Donald Trump addressed the Israeli parliament (Knesset) earlier this afternoon.

“Bibi would call me for this weapon, for that weapon…. I would give them to him…. You put them to “good use”.

He adds, "It will be the golden age of Israel".

More evidence of his complicity in a genocide.

Last month, Reform’s Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery between 6 December 2018 and 18 July 2019.

Richard Tice: "I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform."

“There's a reckoning to come… it's a reckoning for all those politicians that propped up the Israeli war machine, that provided the political cover and the support for them (Israel)”.

"Ceasefire isn't liberation. Ceasefire isn't free Palestine..."

Irish Actress Denise Gough reminds us that this ceasefire was made “without Palestinian voices” and is “not liberation”.

There is still a long, long way to go before Palestinians have an unoccupied, independent homeland.

Zack Polanski used the ‘F’ word twice on BBCQT last night… and the audience applauded him for it 👇

"You actually are a fascist from a far right party… this is racism, this is facism and we should call it out"

Finger on the pulse Luke.

A timeline:

Labour’s annual conference ran from 28 Sept to 1 Oct

YouGov National Poll on 28/29 Sept showed Labour at 22%

Luke tweeted his ‘professional analysis’ on 1 Oct

YouGov National Poll on 5/6 Oct has Labour at 20%, the worst result ever for a sitting Labour Govt

Good to see Polanski taking no shit from The Daily Express.

The BBC could restore some balance after their Fascist Fest last week on Question Time by having Polanski, Sultana, Corbyn and Mick Lynch on their next panel.

Maybe with Farage as the fifth panellist for people to draw a comparison? 🙂

Politics Joe asked some of the one third of Labour members who haven’t resigned their membership in disgust since Starmer took over, if Tony Blair should be allowed rule Gaza.

Their response shows just how far from real Labour values the Party has strayed.

You can see why the government are so desperate to stop these protests. Look at this dangerous choir singing about peace! They could kick off any minute!

Very impressed with BBC journalist (yes, BBC) Aiofe Moore on last night’s QT. We should certainly heed her warning on the current immigration debate….

“We need to be very careful when politicians start punching down because it means they don’t have any policies that can help you.”

Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What message does this photo send to you?
What is the motivation for releasing it? 🤔

First, Declassified UK’s application for a parliamentary press pass is rejected for no valid reason.

Then Owen Jones has his pass to the Labour conference cancelled and now @novaramedia’s Rivkah Brown is booted out!

You might think Starmer can’t take any criticism. You’d be right.

Keir Starmer is about to give his keynote speech at the Labour Party Conference 2025 in Liverpool.

Will he say enough to reverse this tide of dissatisfaction?

We think not, but he will press on with his pro-Israel agenda in any case.

Reform MP Richard Tice has travelled to Israel to APOLOGISE to foreign minister and war criminal, Gideon Sa'ar
for Labour's recognition of a Palestinian state

Bowing and scraping before some of the worst people on this earth. If Reform are your heroes you need to take a look at yourselves.
