This is the reality of living under Israel's ceasefire as Israeli defense forces continue to slaughter innocent children under the smokescreen provided by western media and politicians.

Unite cut Starmer's government more slack than it deserved to sort out the jobs crises with transition to green energy that workers needed. "Keir" doing to these workers what "Maggie" did to miners! No more being on first-name terms!! No more being "put on notice"!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtMd...

When grimly faced with the extinction of our species the first thing governments will do is launch a PR campaign.

In other news, a real-estate developer, today in the US, announced his plans to cover up his friend's war crimes in front of an international press. Headlines duly appeared around the world like this was some totally normal thing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

Trump reading from his Lebensraum playbook.

Chilling.

Four more years hating foreigners and foreign countries, and screw Earth while Musk sends whitey to Mars to plant a flag. Consolation of failed Western democracy is the possibility of ditching despicable leaders. But hope the next candidate won't simply do a better job of what this guy is offering.

Any news outlets calling this ‘accidental’ or ‘appears to be’ or ‘similar’ - it’s a literal Nazi salute. We see you.

From the outset the Met sought to ban pro-Palestine demonstrators from peacefully protesting. The crackdown is an attack on freedom of expression & false claims of "forceful" behaviour are dangerous. Charges must be dropped & the government must end this authoritarian exercise.

Outrageous attack on democratic rights by the Met. No doubt Starmer is backing the police, as usual. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🚨 Emergency Protest! 📍Walworth Rd Police station ⏰️ 11am today #FreeChrisNineham

Never be surprised that Netanyahu doesn't want a ceasefire. From the beginning until now, realization of ceasefire has depended on the urging of western-international allies. There is no way forward until they prepare sanctions and prove, after 15 long months, they will seriously implement them.

The BDS movement, welcomes the news of a ceasefire agreement with immense relief. A ceasefire, however, is only the most important first step to end the genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. bdsmovement.net/After-Ceasef...

"the many who have lost their lives" is a grotesque understatement. LSHTM: traumatic injury death toll as of Oct 2024 thought to exceed 70,000 Palestinians. They did not just lose their lives, their lives were violently taken from them by a malevolent military state supported by the UK government.

We can begin to hope...

The government is a slave to financial markets. Inequality produces slaves and masters. Good luck, etc.

Gaza death toll 40% higher than official number, Lancet study finds

Chancellor Reeves quite simply must tell the Bank Of England 'Stop selling bonds.' Economist Richard Murphy's erudite response to the current crisis...

Read the Jay report! The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill passed by MPs will prevent children from being removed from school for sexual abuse. But I've not heard any reasonable explanation why a separate grooming gangs inquiry would delay the Bill's implementation or undermine the Jay report.

Israel isn't eradicating 'the terrorists'. It's turning Gaza into a wasteland, where no one who cares or tries to cling on to their humanity can survive. Where doctors do not exist, aid workers are a memory, and compassion a liability. My latest: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/dr-h...

Yesterday, five children sheltering in the same tent together in al-Mawasi, a so-called 'humanitarian safe zone', were killed by Israeli airstrikes. By failing to suspend all arms sales to Israel, the UK Government is complicit in these horrors. They must act now.

Not only were they victims of various perpetrators, they continue to this day to be the victims of state power...

Labour MPs won't listen to their constituents and insist Labour's artificial economic constraint contrived out of a £22M blackhole, by a quirk of logic marks an end to austerity! With no growth forecast and inflation left rampant, how are we meant to suspend our disbelief in Starmer's government?

Jeremy Corbyn: "The reality is that all around the world the level of support for the Palestinian people is bigger than its ever been" The simple truth is, for over a year people all around the world have been watching what Israel has been doing in Gaza.

So i'm doing last year's Christmas card again this year. Kind of makes you wonder how many centuries it will take before the world's powers will acknowledge the sheer scale of children killed in the ongoing genocide in Palestine today.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Every damn time. Without fail.
