Farage is staying true to form and spouting a whole load of “Brexit-fits” - promises of benefits which never actually happen!

[LBC @LBC]

‘Sometimes Reform sound Thatcherite, sometimes old-Labour, and sometimes just borderline racist.’

@AndrewMarr9 explains why it’s so difficult to work out ‘who Nigel Farage fundamentally is’.

Francesca Albanese pleading with the world to reject the genocide deniers and to hold Israel 🇮🇱 to account:

It is a genocide.

Ban 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
Sanctions now.

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today, before it’s too late.

[Dave @ItsOurDave]

"I think the Labour strategy is fundamentally wrong. They're buying into the agenda set by Farage and Reform...

It's a very dangerous cocktail that Farage has put together - and it should be opposed."

Senator Mark Kelly is getting rid of his Tesla, saying, “I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole.”

Listen to Michael Fakhri UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food:

‘This is not a ceasefire by any definition…[it] is a slowing down of military violence but a continued unfolding of death by starvation’

Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah

Ban 🇬🇧 arms sales to 🇮🇱

Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Blah blah blah…Hey Fuckface, Canada works just fine as its own country. We rank higher in quality of life, healthcare, education, safety, life expectancy etc than the USA. Maybe focus on fixing your own states you fucking knucklehead.

Faiza Shaheen, "The Good Law project did work aroudn where donations are coming from"

"60% of Wes Streeting's donations since 2015 have come from companies or individuals linked to private health care"

"What we're seeing right now with waiting lists is a two track system. If you've got a simple thing to do, we pay the private sector"

"If it's something more complicated you stay in the NHS because its more difficult"

Fiona Bruce, "Are you saying by mentioning the funding that Wes Streeting has, are you saying he's been bought by private interests"

Faiza Shaheen, "That's the implication of the work the Good Law Project have done"
