This is incredibly powerful from the WHO’s Emergencies Director, Dr Mike Ryan, on the world doing nothing as the children of Gaza die. “This is an abomination.” (🎥 Middle East Eye)

I didn't want to talk about Kneecap this week, but here we are. On what we choose to be horrified by, and what those choices say about us. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

"We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “Ambulances have been buried. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. An Israeli bulldozer buried them.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Well, now i think my past remsrks about Mandelson - which were pretty contemptuous - weren’t nearly rude enough. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

No. And anyone who says it can is lying to you. Climate Emergency. There's a clue in the last word. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thought for the day.

Nothing to see here... 👀 Just Labour Health Secretary @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social getting cosy with GB news owner, Paul Marshal, + Far-Right politician Nigel Farage (both pro NHS privitisation and rabidly racist). Probs shouldn't repost it. Wouldn't want to embarrass the Health Secretary

Rebecca Long-Bailey: "The Ombudsman looked into detailed investigations to assess whether the govt was guilty of maladministration, found that that was the case, found that the women had suffered injustice, and recommended that the govt compensate them. Its as simple as that"

My parents are in their 70s and live in rural Ireland. They've just taken part in a 24 hour fast for Palestine with the New Ross Palestine Group. They go and wave Palestine flags on the bridge between Wexford and Kilkenny every Sunday morning, come rain or shine 💚🇵🇸

Since the so called "Jewish Labour Movement" have reacted badly to their public criticism. Jewish - No. Lots of them aren't Labour - they're the party that protect capital. Movement - What? The tiny few who embarrass themselves publically. www.thejc.com/news/politic... 1/4
