👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the Met Police UK. Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM."
The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand.
This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel.
If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message.
But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so.
This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel.
People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.

#C4News How can supposed “journalists” like Guru Murthy and @AnushkaAsthana go along with this utter nonsense?
“Britain’s airbases aren’t safe…” says Murthy, because 5 lads from London were trying to steal Diesel from a farm.
And we’re all supposed to go along with this tripe?

Sure I can help! As we all know, the word “antisemitic” means “unsupportive of the modern state of Israel”. Since the modern state of Israel is intrinsically opposed to Palestinian liberation in any form, saying Free Palestine is unsupportive of that state, therefore antisemitic.

I guess the title is supposed to be ironic but will everyone understand that? NAZA meaning collateral damage is not a great title. All the murdered children were not unintended consequences but premeditated and targeted.

Sunak Built Teesside Freeport. Now He Advises Anthropic, The Company Positioned To Take the Profit.
Rishi Sunak announced Teesworks as his flagship Brexit freeport as Chancellor in 2021.
More than £600 million in public money followed, against a standard £25 million seed capital allocation. The freeport is now effectively closed.
Its auditors are refusing to sign off the accounts.
The public body overseeing it carries £420 million in debt.
The site is being repurposed as an AI Growth Zone.

Quite simply, you do not speak for 'British Jews'. You speak for some British Jews. You don't speak for the 70k Haredi Jews, nor for the 40k liberal-reform Jews, nor for the 80k (or more) secular Jews. Some or many might agree with you, but you don't speak FOR them.

🚨 In just one year, the official risk assessment for major water failure jumped from a 0.2–1% chance with “minor” consequences to a 5–25% chance of “catastrophic” loss affecting over one million people.
Water UK now claims companies were “prevented” from investing enough because government failed to set resilience standards.
After decades of dividends, debt and decay, £104bn must be found to rebuild the network with customers ultimately paying much of the cost through their bills.
Private extraction 🔥 Public risk 🔥 Customer-funded rescue.
Parliament can renationalise water but, thanks to Brexit 👉 CPTPP deal, foreign investors may bring ISDS claims, alleging unlawful expropriation or unfair treatment. Domestic property protections would also require a lawful process and potentially compensation.
That creates an enormous deterrent:
‼️companies extract dividends and load utilities with debt;
‼️the infrastructure deteriorates;
the state must intervene;
‼️investors then demand compensation for losing the asset that failed.
The crucial question is valuation. Government should not compensate shareholders as though these were healthy companies while taxpayers inherit the debt, environmental liabilities and investment backlog. Special administration, insolvency or legislation could reduce the cost but treaty litigation would remain a risk.
So how can Britain have sovereignty when corporate treaties make exercising it prohibitively expensive. This is precisely how Brexit corrodes democracy.
Britain should withdraw from CPTPP, dismantle ISDS and replace incompatible Brexit trade deals with membership of the European single market and customs union.
That means common standards, frictionless European trade and collective bargaining power not accepting weaker food imports while foreign corporations acquire the right to challenge democratic government.
Take back control from global capital. Rejoin Europe.

By now we all know that the looneytune Tech Bros want to collapse nations and crush 'inferior' people to build techno-libertarian 'business states' in the ruins. They're too deranged, wealthy and powerful to underestimate. So. How do we stop them? Correct answers only, please.

The Greens & Polanski were platformed while the establishment waited to see what happened with Your Party. They were puffed up to neutralise YP. The quick implosion of YP means the Greens & ZP can now be, at best, sidelined by the MSM, at worst discredited, undermined, destroyed.
The BBC have clearly been cancelling the Greens and their polices from the BBC1 news bulletins. But even for them this is remarkable, excluding the Greens from a discussion about...the Green Party 😲

As I have been saying , synagogues, schools, youth movements, student groups, ‘Israel tours’ offered to every 16 year old Jew in the UK, these are the main radicalising institutions forming the grooming pipeline to produce Jewish supremacist adults, committed to the genocide. It’s also the mechanism for recruitment of British Jews to the genocidal IOF, and for millions of tax subsidised cash to flow directly to the military and other institutions in occupied Palestine.
None of these organisations should have charitable status. Many of their leaders should be arrested for war crimes and for De-Zionisation programmes.
There is no other way.

He does understand, he just doesn't care.
So, in a speech prior to becoming a Labour MP, and De facto Labour leader, & UK PM, @AndyBurnhamGM claims he understands why members left Labour, or couldn’t vote Labour, yet he appoints this guy. Sorry Andy, you actually don’t understand do you

This is your reminder that when the BBC substituted years old footage of Boris Johnson laying the wreath at the Cenotaph, it was to cover up the fact that he was very drunk at the remembrance ceremony.
As I reported at the time.

BlackRock, Blackstone, and Vanguard are asset managers extracting public money and converting it into corporate welfare. Their profits depend on critical infrastructure collapse - they are literally disaster capitalists.
Despite contributing minimally to the UK economy, Keir Starmer, like neoliberal Prime Ministers before him, has abandoned the social contract in favor of corporate interests.
This is now visibly accelerating through deregulated free zones and freeports. BlackRock has acquired controlling stakes in strategically located UK freeports, while Labour has expanded these zones to 74 Special Economic Zones and 12 Freeports - despite Starmer previously calling them “blind faith” when in opposition.
The results are damning: by 2024, these zones cost £19.78 billion but created only 22,067 genuinely new jobs, missing targets by up to 96%, at a staggering cost of nearly £937,000 per job created.
These politicians take donations from mega-corporations and dutifully tailor policies under a corporate political model. This has to stop because it is clearly out of control. Capitalism’s excesses must be reined in and responsibly managed so that redistribution of profit share and wage share is better balanced.
