#Glastonbury do your thing

Netanyahu about Iran: "They target civilians because they are evil..." What the feck does that make him/IsraHell 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

After sitting on this film for months, the BBC finally announce they won't broadcast it after its Director says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza (they are). BBC says this isn't impartial because "Israel has denied accusations of war crimes" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Classy

Well done, Lib Dems.

Great to see all the love for Palestine at the brilliant Beyond The Pale Festival this weekend. Solidarity and love for our sisters and brothers in Palestine is everywhere in Ireland. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

🎉 Huge welcome to our brand new Green councillor in Stroud. 💚 Congratulations @stroudgreens.bsky.social!

Strawberry moon over Sutton, England:

This horrendous footage will be studied - but not by comedians.

We can protect people. We can protect nature. But Labour are protecting the profits of property developers. The Planning & Infrastructure bill needs ripping up & starting again.

Tommy Robinson and pals went out for lunch at the very pricy Hawksmoor yesterday... sat down... ordered... and then got kicked out.

"I was just following orders."

I read Keir Starmer’s speech delivered on Monday at the 10 Downing Street reception for Show Racism the Red Card. I read it & I didn’t believe any of it. Here’s why:

As Arron Banks appears in the Reform Party video after Vladimir Putin has exposed his violent expansionist plan for Russia, it is worth revisiting what the judge said about Banks and the undisclosed Russian Embassy visits in the lead up to Brexit

A meeting that took place around Christmas that only @bylinetimes.bsky.social bothered to cover at the time. Not one child admitted to the U.K. on Starmer’s instructions. My assumption is they are now all dead.

Ordinary people "feel like mugs" for paying when others feel they can get away without doing so, says Robert Jenrick, who was found to have falsely claimed £122 in travel expenses, and used his own office to help a Conservative donor avoid paying £45m in tax www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

For the record: The way the Right is talking about Turkish barbers is going to lead to attacks on those shops. There is going to be a lot of broken glass. (This is just the modern version.) And people like Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick will be responsible for it.

STARMER HASN’T DELIVERED US OUT OF HARD BREXIT. Almost every part of Johnson’s hard Brexit deal remains, only a tiny fraction has changed. The ‘no rejoining the SM & CU’ red line remains. NO EXPLANATION. Some say it’s a start, but Starmer wants you to forget about Brexit. NO WAY!

Wes Streeting cat-calls “cheap” when Sultana asks Lammy “How do you sleep at night?” While Lammy himself accused Sultana using the issue of genocide to raise her social media profile, “ I know that the Honourable Lady is keen on click bait.” What truly contemptible people Labour’s front bench are!

Given that we’re a nation of nature lovers, whose conservation charities are among the world's biggest membership organisations, Keir Starmer’s repeated attacks on voters who want to protect the living planet, calling us “time-wasting nimbys”, “blockers” and “zealots”, is frankly idiotic.

What a great day for Croydon! What a great day for @officialcpfc.bsky.social ! What a great day for Thornton Heath!

*Copy one of Boris Johnson's stupidest and most self-destructive policies. *Ignore the massive wave of public fury it ignited. *Smear and attack anyone warning that it might not be a great idea. In this week's column I ask what the hell Keir Starmer is playing at. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Defections from Labour? That would be progress but it would also be unlikely...

🤢

🔴 Remember the £330million contract given to Trump donor Peter Thiel's firm Palantir to build an NHS data platform? Well we've found out that most English hospitals aren't using it - because it's not very good Scoop on Democracy for Sale democracyforsale.substack.com/p/palantirs-...

How Sir Keir operates: tell people what they want to hear when you want their vote - once you have power, stab them in the back. "Labour is committed to restoring development spending at the level of 0.7 per cent of gross national income as soon as fiscal circumstances allow."

Just a thought, but maybe Labour's tactic of *Not reversing Brexit in order to keep Reform in check* isn't really working. 🙈🙈🙈 You can't fight populist lies by pretending that populist lies are the truth. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

People who don't reciprocate questions frustrate me almost as much as people who constantly interrupt! (Yeah, I know we should be talking about the rise of the ReFuk nazis, but this is a bit of relief from the unremitting bad news...) www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

Excellent (& well-balanced) article by George Monbiot:

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there. (Credit to @kazhawa.bsky.social.) www.voanews.com/amp/uk-issue...

Vote tactically for a Starmerite Labour MP & watch him/her treat you with contempt.
