A reminder that Israel has used the dead bodies of Palestinians as bargaining chips for decades.

Last year Mustafa Barghouti explained that Israel is holding over 500 bodies.

Reform Devon has all the best people. The guy they stood for parliament had a recent conviction for animal abuse after he kicked the shit out of a dog.
Angry little men who attack woman and animals, that's reform for you.

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

One from the archives.

The number of vet practices owned by large corporations rose from 10% in 2013 to 60% in 2024, & over a similar period the prices they charge have increased by 70%- 80%. Entirely coincidence, I'm sure.

Remember when Biden and Netanyahu made a ceasefire deal, and then Trump told Bibi to stall so he could use it for his campaign? And now both of these criminals left the hostages behind, fueled a genocide, and circled back to sign the same deal Biden made? Yep, me too.

Poor Tommy Robinson. What possible reason could the border police have had for stopping a known criminal who is being investigated by HMRC from taking £13,000 in cash abroad while driving a Bentley that wasn’t his and refusing to answer their questions? It’s an outrage!

Trump: "You wouldn't have a world domination by the dollar if I didn't win this election."

Since Trump returned to office, the share of global foreign exchange reserves held in US dollars has fallen, largely as a result of the dollar's fall in value due to Trump's economic chaos.
