"They came to kill us"

Horrific POV footage of a brutal attack by settlers on unarmed Israeli activists - who were helping protect a Palestinian village

One woman, in her 70s, had her skull fractured

Settler violence - already high in the Occupied West Bank - is growing even worse, with 5 Palestinians killed in the past fortnight

Meanwhile the Israeli govt is introducing new measures making it easier for settlers to buy land in the West Bank - and for the state to demolish more Palestinian homes

And the army has introduced new restrictions on movement in the territory since the war with Iran began

The UK government must join other countries in condemning the Israelis restricting access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. To do this during the holy month of Ramadan is the equivalent of closing access for Catholics to the Vatican at Easter or Christmas. Action is needed.

“It is unacceptable that, in 2026, I have to stand up in Parliament and spell out that Islamophobic hatred fuelled by national figures is putting Muslim lives at risk.”
We must confront this toxic climate. The Britain I know is better than this.

Israel is poisoning southern Lebanon with toxic chemicals … HRW found evidence Israel was using white phosphorus in residential areas. And in early February, footage shows Israeli planes spraying glyphosate, a cancer-linked herbicide on farmland in the village of al-Bustan.

“Mom, take a picture of me.”

The mother of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi remembers the last time she saw him before he was reportedly killed by a missile attack on a school in Minab.

Multiple investigations say the U.S. was responsible for the strike that killed over 170 people.

[The Heartlands Tribune @HeartlandsTrib]

What many people now call the Epstein class did not appear overnight. It has been embedded in Western politics, finance and media for decades.

A closed world of influence where the same names, institutions and power networks repeatedly intersect. Narcissistic, parasitic, and fiercely protective of their own. When scrutiny approaches, the circle tightens.

That is why scandals often seem to touch individuals but rarely the structures around them.

Look closely and the same elite institutions keep appearing in the background. Organisations like the Trilateral Commission, a gathering place for the political, financial and corporate leadership of the Western world. Its membership has long drawn from the upper tiers of power, shaping policy and influence far beyond public scrutiny.

Within those circles you find figures such as Peter Mandelson, Keir Starmer, and the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, all moving within overlapping networks of elite influence.

The public are encouraged to see scandals as isolated events, the wrongdoing of individuals. But the deeper question is rarely asked.

How do the same circles of power continue to operate, decade after decade, largely untouched by serious scrutiny?

Because if the public ever began examining the networks themselves, not just the scandals that occasionally leak from them, they might start to understand how power really circulates in the modern world.

And that is the one conversation the establishment seems most determined to avoid.

Here's Peter Mandelson, former Labour MP, European Commissioner for Trade, Labour peer, Ambassador to Washington, Trilateral commission member, sat next to Ted Heath, Conservative MP, former conservative prime minister and Trilateral Commission member... amongst other things... we all remember the Morning Cloud...

It is the system that allows the same circles of power to remain untouched, decade after decade.

Approximately 45 members of the UK Parliament and House of Lords signed a letter urging Britain to issue a formal apology for the 1917 Balfour Declaration.

The letter condemned the historical violations committed by Britain during its mandate in Palestine from 1917 to 1948.

Among the signatories were Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran, Labour MP Nadia Whittome, and Green Party MP Carla Denyer. This move follows a petition submitted to the British government in September of last year by Palestinian businessman Muneeb Al-Masri, calling for both an apology and reparations for Britain’s historical role in dispossessing Palestinians of their land.
