Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.

Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

Should we all be asking ourselves what Tommy Robinson is doing with Elon Musk's dad at the exclusive Metropol Hotel in Moscow right now?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

OMFG!

Trump literally just celebrated a massive increase in our trade deficit.

He doesn’t even know what a “widening of our trade deficit” means. He thinks it means that we are exporting more than we’re importing, which would be good, but it means the exact opposite.

She had almost made it.
Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher had spent years fighting to become something no woman in the Royal Navy had ever been — a fully qualified female Commando pilot. She had passed every test, endured every grueling assessment, and earned the respect of everyone who flew alongside her. Her wings ceremony was scheduled for later this month.
On the night of June 3rd, 2026, she climbed into a Merlin Mk4 helicopter near Okehampton, Devon, for what should have been her final training flight.
She was 31 years old. She was almost there.
The helicopter went down in a field near Sourton Down just before 4 in the morning. All three crew members aboard were killed instantly.
With Lieutenant Fisher were Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson — a 42-year-old instructor and experienced pilot who had dedicated his career to shaping the next generation of Royal Navy aviators — and Petty Officer Owen Green, a 24-year-old aircrewman of 845 Naval Air Squadron who had his whole life ahead of him.
Three families. Three doors knocked on in the darkness. Three futures that will never be.
The First Sea Lord confirmed the tragedy. The King wrote personally to each family. The Prime Minister offered his condolences. Tributes poured in from military leaders across the country — from people who had served with them, trained alongside them, admired them from afar.
But no tribute changes what happened in that field before dawn.
Lily-Mae Fisher broke barriers simply by showing up — by refusing to accept that certain doors were closed to women in the Commando forces. She didn't just serve her country. She redefined what service could look like. She was a trailblazer not because she sought the title, but because she refused to stop moving forward.
Chris Gayson dedicated himself to making better pilots, safer skies, stronger crews. Owen Green, just 24, had already given years of his life to something larger than himself.
All three of them believed in something worth getting into a helicopter for at 4 in the morning.
That matters. That should be remembered.
Rest in peace, Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher. Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson. Petty Officer Owen Green.
You are not forgotten.

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.

A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.

1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.

That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.

Please stand up and prove him wrong.

[Jon Longstaff @07976Jon]

Trust the Teachers Pensions Scheme @TPScheme at your peril! I raised a simple issue with them on 16thApril to be told there is no time limit for their response! This is costing me thousands of pounds and heartache……but they’re too busy to care!

[Muhammad Mazen @mhmd_s09]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.

A video that the world must never forget.

"A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression."

Please RT this until the UK courts do the same.

Thanks.

BREAKING:

Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.

A village that has stood for thousands of years.

A place where Jesus once walked.

Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.

And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.

This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.

Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Stop the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ taking place in London on 14 June. Palestinian land is not for sale. Such sales are illegal & unethical. This event should not be allowed to go ahead

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

[Ian L Richardson @ianrich15813274]

When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

In 2023 Indonesia refused to give the Israeli U23 team visas.

FIFA instantly stripped them of the tournament and moved it to Argentina.

Strip the USA and move it solely to Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

"140 Labour MPs urge UK to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements."

Leaving 262 Labour MPs who are NOT urging their Govt to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements.

Please RT this until they ALL do - & the UK Govt finally does as International Law requires.

Thank you.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

This girl found out that the Albanian island that the Kushner’s are buying is registered in Amsterdam by Zvernic South Adriatic Development & it’s owned through a chain of Dutch Shell Companies & it’s managed by a trust office.They’re really trying to hide the owners names well.

Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?
