We spoke to Jews on the Palestine march in London
Not all Jews support Genocide, to say otherwise is textbook antisemitism:

Mick Lynch "Zack Polanski isn't inciting hatred for Jews he believes he is an agent of peace and that Israel is carrying out Mass Murder in Gaza and the West Bank, and I believe that too."
When Mick Lynch speaks sense, he speaks sense.

It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have:
Killed 1,071 Palestinians
Demolished 6,000+ homes
Built 200+ illegal outposts
No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
Whilst a huge amount of @BristolCity fans get behind the team on match day, you can’t help but question how many other fans hold the team back.
Negative attitude. Only sing when we’re winning. Leave the stands 20 mins early.
Group effort? Get behind the club. #BristolCity

Today I broke a story [with help from @linfitlass] about Reform UK potentially fixing their competition to provide energy bills to a whole street.
It's a big deal and should, by rights, be picked up by mainstream media.
Luckily, there's one proper, reliable news outlet that have and are publishing my full article on Monday. Obvs its Byline Times.
But … why have the BBC, Sky News etc. missed this?
I'm not blowing my own trumpet at all, but so far, the story has had over 1.5 million views on my 𝕏 feed today.
A genuine public interest story about a potential fraudulent attempt by a political party, but it's being ignored, as always ... because it's Farage.
This is serious. Aside from Byline Times, The Nerve and the New World, the rest have capitulated to the far-right and Bannon's play.
If any outlets want to discuss this story, you know where I am.

⛓️Chain of events in the Reform UK competition scandal⛓️
<-> Ray and June Dibble are photographed at a Brexit Party rally in 2019 with Nigel Farage, Anne Widdecombe and David Bull.
<-> Ray and June nominate local councillor, Lee Moffitt as branch chair for Reform UK, Wigan.
<-> Ray and June win Nigel Farage's energy bills competition.
<-> Additional info — Farage and Jenrick turn up at Ray and June's house with a cheque for a VERY SPECIFIC amount of £1,758.
It's almost as though the entire thing was orchestrated from the beginning.
Huge H/T to @linfitlass and @reformexposed for two crucial pieces of the puzzle.

Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”
Will @BristolCity be joining @bluesky soon?
I see @Wrexham_AFC is already over there?

Remember when fishermen were told Brexit wouldn’t improve their situation?
Remember when Brexiters continually banged on about fish?
Well, here’s the #BrexitReality.
Good to hear @bbcbristolsport keeping their heads tonight about #BristolCity.
Let’s not overreact. Yes it’s a terrible result. But there have also been some brilliant results throughout Jan & the Xmas period.
Onwards & upwards 💪

This might surprise some of you who don’t understand capitalism but as a capitalist I’m all in favour of breaking up big companies.
Capitalism isn’t about big businesses. It’s about free enterprise.
It shockes me that many big businesses are allowed to act in an anti-competitive ways.
Of course big tech shouldn’t be able to run a profitable ads business in the UK and not pay tax.
Of course operating a strategic horizontal monopoly is just as bad as running a monopoly based on scale or vertical integration.
Of course it’s wrong to shift profits from a country using IP registrations.
I’m not a big business guy. I’m a pro-enterprise, pro-competition and pro-real-deal-capitalism guy. I’m also in favour of any legitimate ways to tackle these complex issues.
