A story of a 1930s uprising against British colonialism is key to understanding Gaza today
‘Palestine 36’ is a potent reminder that the blueprint for Israel's depraved war crimes in Gaza were laid down by a British empire whose tyranny the Palestinians tried - and failed - to end

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

Immigration is NOT tearing this country apart.
Politicians like Farage and Mahmodo are tearing it apart by their divisive rhetoric and dishonest framing of the known facts behind immigration.
I despise them for it.
Now 10 years here isn’t long enough. It has to be 20 years.
What a disgrace.

Aye right, like they stopped sharing intel and flying over Gaza spying for Israel to stop War Crimes and Genocide. 👿
British officials are now plainly worried that America might use British-supplied intelligence, such as intercepts that show the location of boats, to commit war crimes
Why Britain may have stopped sharing some intelligence with America
And how America might respond

More of this please, are you watching Scotland
Sir David Attenborough has backed a £30 million campaign to buy and rewild the 15-square-mile Rothbury Estate in Northumberland, a former grouse moor once owned by Lord Max Percy. The Wildlife Trusts aim to restore its bogs, woodlands, and farmland, creating a 40-mile wildlife corridor.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇
1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK
2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves
3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries
