Heartbreaking farewell moments.. Fahd Abu Heikal carries the body of his infant son, Sam, who was killed yesterday evening in the city of Hebron, as relatives and family members bid him a sorrowful farewell.

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

Will this end the NHS? And why hasn’t the BMA publicised it more before it was too late?

Did you see how fast we jumped from Charles couldn't pay for Harry's and Meghan's expenses and security because they weren't working Royals, to Charles can pay Beatrice and Eugenie's house and expenses because he is their uncle, even though they were never working Royals. Hahahaha 🤣 😂 they are jumping up and down, trying everything they can to excuse this because the excuses they were giving about Harry and Meghan have now evaporated.

Correcting the Record — Royal Edition

The Royal Family’s Real Estate Problem Is Apparently Less Interesting Than Harry’s Mortgage

For years we’ve been told that Prince Harry’s finances are somehow a matter of national importance.

His mortgage.

His Netflix deal.

His book deal.

His speaking engagements.

His security costs.

His business ventures.

If Harry buys a house, it’s news.

If Harry refinances a house, it’s news.

If Harry sneezes near a bank, somebody in the British press is probably writing a story about it.

We’ve watched years of headlines dissecting every dollar the Duke of Sussex earns, spends, borrows, saves, or invests.

And yet somehow, when questions arise about royal housing arrangements, peppercorn rents, royal property deals, and who benefits from them, the volume suddenly gets turned way down.

Funny how that works.

Recent reporting has raised fresh questions about Prince Andrew’s ability to generate income from subletting cottages connected to Royal Lodge while benefiting from a peppercorn-rent arrangement.

Now let’s be clear.

This isn’t about claiming wrongdoing where none has been proven.

It’s about asking why certain financial stories receive relentless scrutiny while others seem to receive a fraction of the attention.

Because if we’re going to talk about money, let’s talk about all of it.

If we’re going to talk about accountability, let’s apply it equally.

If we’re going to ask questions, let’s ask them of everyone.

What makes this so absurd is that Harry no longer receives funding from the Sovereign Grant.

He doesn’t receive public money to support his lifestyle.

He lives in California.

He earns his own income.

He pays his own bills.

Yet somehow his mortgage has become one of the British media’s favorite long-running soap operas.

Meanwhile, stories involving royal estates, royal properties, royal housing privileges, and long-standing financial arrangements often seem to generate significantly less outrage.

Why?

Why is a private citizen’s mortgage more interesting than questions involving royal property arrangements?

Why is Harry’s bank account endlessly fascinating while other financial questions are treated like awkward family business nobody wants to discuss?

The answer might make some people uncomfortable.

Because for years, Harry and Meghan Sussex have been the industry’s most reliable source of clicks, outrage, engagement, television segments, YouTube videos, and newspaper traffic.

Their finances get examined under a microscope.

Everyone else’s finances often get treated with a magnifying glass left in the drawer.

That’s not balance.

That’s not consistency.

And it sure as hell isn’t equal scrutiny.

If the media wants to investigate royal money, investigate royal money.

All of it.

Not just the parts involving the couple you’ve built an entire cottage industry around attacking.

Because from where I’m sitting, the question was never really Harry’s mortgage.

The question is why some people keep counting Harry’s pockets while looking the other way when the spotlight lands a little closer to the palace gates.

Funny as hell how that works.

@ZandiSussex Oh for goodness’ sake. There is no need to KEEP being rude about the UK just because the ‘royal’ family are a bunch of arseholes. Harry and Meghan don’t slag off the whole UK - can’t you follow their well-mannered example?

JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:

• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.

• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.

• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.

• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.

• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.

• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).

This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.

This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.

There is a growing push inside Parliament for widespread sanctions on Israel.

It's what the public wants. And a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Labour members want tough sanctions too.

This is a fight we are going to win!

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.

The experts already have.

A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.

Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

I am horrified that a car has been deliberately set alight outside the home of the family of Salma Yaqoob, a wonderful prominent anti-racist and peace campaigner in Birmingham.

I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.
