There is something magnificent about Nigel Farage, who has lost two of the five MPs he was elected with *last year*, explaining that HR departments don't matter.

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.
“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.
“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Can the RW press/media stop referring to Farage as PM in waiting?
As Behr says, he has 4 MPs!
This dangerous assumption must be challenged before it becomes fixed in the minds of the sheeple.
Brexit (his idea) was 💯 % shit; and his government would be too.

Speak out - name it as genocide - and then act. End all arms sales, impose a wide range of sanctions and call for the arrest and trial of all those guilty of war crimes, including prime minister Netanyahu.
Absolutely horrifying. Palestinians gunned down while trying to access food. Leaders across the world have a duty to speak out against these continuing atrocities.

"Why send a plane to kill the children? Is this what Netanyahu and Israel are doing, killing children sleeping in their tents? Is this their military achievement?"
Israel targeted displaced Palestinians in a tent encampment in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, designated for civilians. Eight children were burned alive and charred beyond recognition alongside six others.

We’re doing Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo again, except both at once, and to random dads and barbers abducted off the streets of America for the crime of being Latino
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
