.@Wickes why are you stocking products made in Israel? We’re 31 months into a genocide & more than 72,000 Palestinians (including over 21,000 children) are dead. There’s no excuse.
BREAKING: National security experts are warning that, with Jared and Ivanka having so much money tied up in their now frozen Albanian island resort, Kushner is an extreme blackmail risk because his Saudi and Emirati investors can withdraw their money and bankrupt him at any time.
I've been driving around the Scottish Highlands for a few days and I've noticed a big difference in towns compared to where I live in Devon.
In Devon, whenever you drive into a town you have to pay to park. That's before you spend anything in shops, bars, cafes etc.
Councils consider car drivers as the enemy. A mere cash cow. If you park - YOU PAY.
Hence, many people now avoid town centres like the plague or they severely limit the number of times they visit.
For the past few days I've stopped off in many towns across the North of Scotland. I've parked in council car parks and not once have I been confronted with a ticket machine, a barrier or an ANPR camera.
And guess what? I've actually been into shops, cafes, restaurants etc and spent money. In so doing, I've helped the businesses to do what they do best - Providing goods and services to their communities.
Communities free from paying extortionate amounts of money to local councils for the "privilege" of being able to park up and visit businesses who rely on their custom.
Councils "down South" should take notice.
If you price drivers out of towns, they stay away, businesses close and the town dies.
The evidence is everywhere.
(And yes, I know Internet shopping is another enemy of the High Street so I don't need to be informed about that).
giving the world cup to the usa was a stupid decision.
this tournament was supposed to bring the world together. instead we’re talking about shootings, visa issues, travel restrictions and whether fans from certain countries will even be able to attend
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.
So let me get this straight:
When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.
When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.
Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it." - Roald Dahl
🚨Four out of the six arrested #FarageRiot-ers only turn out to be Reform UK councillors. Great work by @YoungBobRB aiding the police with some great footage!!!

Lawyer Peter Stefanovic - whose political films have been watched over a billion times - breaks down Reform's Great Repeal Act line by line: strip day one sick pay, legalise fire and rehire, lift zero-hours protections, repeal the Renters' Rights Act, abolish the Equality Act, and leave the ECHR.
He also notes that almost half of Britons believe net migration has increased when it's fallen 48% to 171,000.
His conclusion: if the media explained Reform's policies, nobody would support them.

The brilliant @yanisvaroufakis explaining how Palantair used Gazan ‘panic data’.
When civilians are bombarded - their phones record masses of data points that can be tracked and utilised by AI.
This he says was commercialised and sold to the NHS as emergency responder software for £1bn.
Palantair has no place in our NHS or anywhere else for that matter.
Dear the BBC Politics.
I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.
He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.
Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
