The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

genocide of people will continue to happen if the genocide of animal life, sea life, and plant life continues as well.

we are interconnected. exterminating life is exterminating life.

we cannot fix one without fixing the other.

start by lessening the harm of your current extermination.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Nearly 30% of your Energy bill is profit, and that's just for the big companies.

If Energy was nationalised bills could be nearly halved overnight, the infrastructure is only worth £109.5bn.

Time for a compulsory purchase order.

“Peace deal.”

I guess chuds want everyone in the world to “thank” Bibi, Trump and Biden for destroying 85% of Gaza and ethnically cleansing, genociding and killing hundreds of thousands for Zionism.

Meanwhile they’re all online hating on Muslims.

Seems like a “real” peace deal doesn’t it?

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.
