This is one of the most harrowing articles I’ve ever read.
Extremely disturbing stories of Palestinian prisoners raped in Israeli prisons which includes the use of a dog to rape prisoners.
When UK politicians say we stand with Israel, they speak for themselves!
This is depraved and barbaric.

If you actually listen to Reform - not the immigrant dog whistles - you’ll hear it clearly:
private healthcare,
lower wages,
job cuts,
weaker rights,
threats to abortion.
That’s the agenda.
Migrants are just the scapegoat.

MPs laughed when Jake Richards dismissed Jeremy Corbyn’s request for a meeting on the Palestine Action hunger strikers.
Laughed.
This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?
The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

We now live in a country where eight political prisoners on hunger strike are denied ambulances, access to lawyers, family, and their constituency MPs.

Pretty much everyone knows that BBC Scotland is broken beyond repair. Audience numbers are collapsing and trust is at an all-time low. The News Dept has been compromised. There are no-go areas as the Pam Duncan-Glancy scandal shows. 👇

Was this the "true Streeting" - or is that who we're seeing now? Or, perhaps like Starmer, does he simply have "flexible opinions".
Wes Streeting then: "junior doctors are set to walk out on strike.. instead of ignoring staff, the govt ought to be doing everything they can to retain them in the NHS. That means getting around the negotiation table & resolving the dispute on pay"
Now: ignoring staff & refusing to negotiate

Former UK chancellor George Osborne joins OpenAI
Lucrative appointments for failed ministers.
They aren't hired for technical know-how but to exploit political links acquired with public money. What is the return to taxpayers for that investment?
Remember former PM Cameron lobbying for Greensill.
