I’m not always having a go at wrong’uns…sometimes I’m sleeping | Political Commentator & Co-Host of The Trawl Podcast https://linktr.ee/thetrawlpodcast | @TimesRadio | @jeremyvineon5

Question for you…

700+ killed by Israel in Gaza during “ceasefire”

250+ killed by Israel in Lebanon during “ceasefire”

Would any other country enjoy the “ceasefire” label while massacring this many people?

…we all know the answer by now.

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.

What is happening?!

And why does it feel like news reporters and podcasters are discussing this like it’s just another Tuesday?

We don’t.

When one of your last slivers of hope is the 25th Amendment…

And then you remember Step 1 of it requires JD Vance and Trump’s sycophantic cabinet of compromised dipshits to invoke it.

Brexit diehards raging at the EU marmalade renaming is both hilarious and exposing…

CITRUS SPREAD

Citrus spread is all they’ve managed to get angry about after years of hunting for outrage

…and then they even got that wrong

Imbeciles.

So..

We try (& sometimes fail) to hold it together as we unpack the chaos:

- Those Palestinian death penalty celebrations

- The Gaza blueprint now rolled out for Lebanon

- Our pathetically weak politicians

…and the sense that ordinary people are shouting into a void

So Israel commits war crime after war crime…

Invades

Targets civilians/aid workers

Snipers children

Land grabs

Celebrates with champagne at hanging Palestinians

…and the international community can’t even muster the most flaccid of responses.

You have failed us all.

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon

They've displaced huge numbers of civilians...

Yet it barely registers.

Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure

The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.

Trump’s 48hr ultimatum…

Some of us were terrified

The pope even got involved

But some…

Well, some were placing never seen before bets on the stock market

We discuss this and TACO Trump’s Iran whiplash on today’s brand new episode of The Trawl podcast.

Ian called in and essentially said the reason we focus on migrants and not the uber rich exploiting us is because…

“You’ll never stop the rich”

WRONG

There is a way and our millionaire/billionaire class are TERRIFIED of it.

When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness?

They’re hoarders

No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us

They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend

Sick in the head.

Is it not news-worthy…

That an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler was allegedly held in detention for 10 hours

Tortured by Israeli soldiers using burning cigarettes and nails

All to force a confession from his father?

Look at him

Because our press will rather you didn’t.

Breaks my heart that my 5‑year‑old is learning in school about all the ways he can protect our planet...

While decrepit old fuckwits are dropping tons of bombs poisoning soil, air & water for decades to come for millions of us

...but sure, you recycle that bog roll little one.

Just imagine if these rags led with headlines like:

• OIL GIANTS BANK RECORD PROFITS WHILE BRITAIN FREEZES

• SUPERMARKETS RAMP UP PRICES AS EXECUTIVES POCKET MILLIONS

• BILLIONAIRES BUY UP HOMES — FAMILIES PRICED OUT

You know what you need today…

An enjoyable listen that takes the piss out of:

– Trump getting pied by Europe & NATO

– Hegseth doing GCSE-level war poetry

– Rubio’s clown shoes

You will feel better after listening

Or your money back

(Handy as it’s free)

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids…

Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF

This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis

And yet when they’re Palestinians…

Utterly utterly shameful.
