One of my biggest regrets in life is that I enabled @facebook two-factor authentication. If I could only go back in time 😢

The Royal Family should be subscription only. Those who want to follow their wacky antics and family dramas can pay the hefty bill for it all. The rest of us get to live in blissful ignorance of the national soap opera and maybe those taxes can be used for something useful.

🚨Our new report released with @WarOnWant and @CAATuk reveals that @BarclaysUK has substantially INCREASED its financing of companies arming Israel’s genocide.
We must take action. Join the #BoycottBarclays campaign: palestinecampaign.org/boycot…

The NHS collapse - it has taken just 13 years - take a look at this from Channel 4 News
Then share it so that people can be reminded that things were better and can be again
The film “Uncharted” is possibly one of the crappest I’ve ever seen. Strangely compelling viewing because it’s so bad.

Let us not forget that fact 👇🏻
It is a crime under British law for a British nationals to serve in a foreign army under the 'Foreign Enlistment Act 1870' making it a criminal offence. @TerrorismPolice @metpoliceuk what are you doing to stop Britons fighting for @IDF
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is not illegal under the The Foreign Enlistment Act 1870 for British Citizens to serve in the IDF in this current conflict as Hamas are a proscribed terrorist group.
This was addressed directly by the UK Government in the 2014 conflict between Israel and Gaza

Khan Younis's historic Barquq Fort, standing since 1387, lies in ruinous conditions due to Israel's genocidal military campaign.
Israel's deliberate destruction of Palestinian cultural heritage across #Gaza is not only a war crime, but a key component of the crime of genocide.

The White House strategy on Gaza currently boils down to this:
1. Continue the flow of weapons and other support to Israel to continue its campaign of war crimes against the Palestinians trapped in a killing cage
2. Make a big public display of how frustrated Biden is with his “great, great friend” of 40+ years, Netanyahu, in an effort to eventually promote a narrative that it was Netanyahu that was out of control and Biden tried to reign him in, rather than the truth, which is that this is a deliberately genocidal war waged by the Israeli state with the full backing of Biden
3. Lead the public to believe Biden is drawing a “red line” while simultaneously refusing to use the substantial powers and influence of the US presidency to actually confront Israel’s war crimes, which continue to be supported by the U.S.

Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in #Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined.
This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.
#ceasefireNow for the sake of children in #Gaza

"It is vital that the UK stands up for human rights and medical neutrality during this crucial period if, for no other reason, than it is the right thing to do." @DrPhilBanfield & @DrLatifaPatel have written to Govt requesting urgent support to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
ALT A letter from Phil Banfield and Latifa Patel to the Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs dated 12 January 2024 regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Remember when Israel used to deny targeting hospitals and spent a week pretending to be offended at the suggestion they struck al-Ahli hospital? It was actually Palestinian rockets, they said. Well:

In any other conflict the images of this wounded child, lying beside his killed mother, while a sniper prevents rescuers from reaching them would have political impact. But it’s Gaza and our government seems quite happy to ensure that every one of us is somehow complicit in this.
