What Israel is doing to Lebanon is obscene, carpet bombing civilians, massacring people in their hundreds, total disregard for human life. Truly plumbing the depths of evil. The single greatest source of violence and instability in the region and it's not even close.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

“Never trust a Tory” says Farage which given 6 out of 8 Reform MPs were Tory until they “defecated” to Reform & he & Tice were Tories is weapons grade hypocrisy

But that is on brand for him lying as he breathes

Trouble is the clinically hard of thinking who follow Reform swallow all his BS 🤦🏼‍♂️

'Resetting' Brexit relations and improving ties to the EU does not look like this.
Labour continues to say one thing and do another.

100 bombs in 10 minutes…

On Beirut

A city the size of Heathrow with the population of Manchester

And yet our leaders do nothing

No meaningful action

…unless it’s Kanye West.

Student nurses in Carmarthen have written a heartbreaking open letter after completing 2,300 hours of unpaid training only to be told there may be no NHS jobs for them. Meanwhile Swansea Bay spent four years recruiting 456 nurses from overseas to fill the same vacancies.

Disposable Barbecues are made with no consideration for safety or the environment.

As a consequence we have a near constant stream of…

- catastrophic environmental destruction
- life changing injuries
- needless landfill

Minimum standards for their production are essential

Sally Hayden reports: Israel dubbed its mass bombings “Operation Eternal Darkness”, saying it was hitting Hizbullah “headquarters and military infrastructure”, but at the sites in Beirut, this reporter only saw evidence of civilian life.

Israel speaks with a forked tongue. The entire world is in the worst position, because of Netanyahu and Israel. For 47 years they have lied about a nuclear weapon 2 weeks away. Then they had an Americas Village Idiot, who is completely compromised by the Epstein files, who attacked a sleeping tiger.

NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying in their own words. Believe them.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

On the news tonight: Vance, Hegseth and Netanyahu. Duplicity, stupidity and inhumanity personified. The only mercy was that Trump had not been seen today.

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.

Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.

Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse.

Life commodified & financialised.

Profits for the few, misery for many.

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order.

Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not.

For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”.

I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...
