Donald Trump has upended the narrative on the Ukraine War. But what does it mean for the future of Europe & beyond? Plus a lot more on NATO, China, the US dollar, technofeudalism and our duty to stop the Palestinian genocide while fighting antisemitism. www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2025/03/01/u...

Adil Ray: "... serious sexual offences.. pardoned 1,500 people who were involved in the January 6th attack.. suspending refugee admissions.. pulled out of the WHO, that hideous video regarding Gaza.. yet we're rolling out the red carpet. What does that say about our values?"

The issue isn't whether we are English or not. It depends how we feel, those feelings can be complex, and it's no-one else's business anyway. The real question is, are we prepared to treat everyone we share our society with as a legitimate member of that society? Can we rise to that basic level?

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Yet another unsustainable rise in rents - time for the government to put a stop to rip off rents and stop landlords treating tenants as cash cows. Rent controls are long overdue and are badly needed to give all renters a home they can afford.

I find it hard to believe that she doesn't know about, e.g., the campaign of collective punishment and systematic torture imposed by the British in Kenya in the 1950s. Takes a truly fanatical degree of pro-British nationalism to reconcile those atrocities with an image of "democracy and pluralism"

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war. There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently. That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

How Israel is violating the terms of the ceasefire: By now Israel should have allowed 12,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. They've let in 8,500. 50 fuel trucks should be allowed into Gaza every day. Israel have let in 15 fuel trucks each day

Witnessing Labour trying to mimic Reform with migrant raid videos is sickening & will simply reinforce Reform’s messages. Just months after race riots, it also risks encouraging further animosity. We need safe & legal routes for asylum seekers, not boasts about which party can be cruellest
