Twinning a city that lost 22 victims to a suicide bombing with the city that basically pioneered modern suicide warfare would be an interesting choice.

Britain can’t afford more tax rises.

If you agree then send a message to Andy Burnham 👇

All this Number 10 in the North nonsense is utterly cringe, a taxpayer-funded gimmick seemingly created to massage Andy Burnham’s ego.

I cannot wait for Kemi Badenoch to shut it down as Prime Minister. It will be like the toppling of Saddam’s statue.

Madrid superstar and England midfielder Jude Bellingham has opened up about the heated World Cup match between England and Argentina.

“Messi and the Argentines are rough,” Bellingham said. “They were calling me and other black players monkeys. I reported it to the referee but he did nothing about it. There were so many fouls that were not awarded. The World Cup completely favours them and it’s unfair.”

He also slammed the refereeing, pointing to a string of unpunished fouls, late challenges, and decisions that he believes tilted the game heavily in Argentina’s favour.

“It feels like the whole tournament is set up for them,” Bellingham added. “We come out here to compete fairly, but it’s not fair when the rules don’t apply the same way.”

While the world’s attention is on the war in the Middle East, we can’t lose sight of Iran’s repression against its own people.

Today, the EU imposed new restrictive measures on Iranian judges responsible for serious human rights violations, including the persecution of political dissidents and religious minorities. We also sanctioned a leading figure of a cyber group who enabled the regime’s repression of information.

As Tehran intensifies its domestic crackdown, the EU will continue to hold those responsible to account.

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of British opposition party says what many in the UK seem to forget: Israel doesn’t need the UK, but it is thanks to Israel's intelligence that British citizens are saved every day 🇮🇱 🇬🇧

@MichealMartinTD @ZelenskyyUa Stop the Alumina boats then.

Burnham wants to spend £16.5 billion on foreign aid.

That could pay for:

- running all prisons for nearly 2 years
- running all courts for nearly 6 years
- 27,500 new prison places
- salaries for nearly 400,000 nurses

But he's sending your money abroad instead.

@kiraincongress Also doesn't stop @eiregov sending daily shiploads of Alumina to the russian war machine either.

Anyone who has accused me of making Ireland look bad for the refinery scandal should read this. This is a sitting minister yawning at questions about russian links. It’s Irish politicians who are destroying the reputation of Ireland, not me 🤷

Having seen the infamous 47-minute compilation of the 7 Oct atrocities with my own eyes (not publicly available), I can attest that the Silenced No More report, which is freely available online, is even worse. It's just words on a page, but it leaves enough to the imagination to be even more horrific than the video. At least for me.

In the 47-minute compilation, there is some evidence of sexual sadism, but not much. Probably for two reasons: proud though Hamas was of massacring Jews, they were less keen on broadcasting scenes of sexual depravity. And the Israeli government likely declined to include the most horrific footage out of respect for the victims.

The report is exhaustively documented, horror story after horror story. I've read it only once, and I won't do so again. Especially the sections about the Nova festival are extremely disturbing. So I asked Claude to summarize the documented patterns in the report:

- Rape and gang rape, with victims passed between attackers in sequence, witnesses describing laughter throughout
- Targeted gunshots to groin, abdomen, buttocks and face; genital mutilation of both women and men
- Rape followed by execution—victims shot or stabbed immediately afterward, some shot in the head during the assault
- Rape continuing after victims were dead
- Sexual mutilation—breasts severed, genitals cut off or shot
- Burning, including deliberate burning of the groin; bodies set alight with accelerants
- - Hands bound behind backs; bodies tied to trees and poles along the road
- Sharp objects inserted into victims' genitals
- Women raped in view of their desperate partners, who were then killed
- Male victims gang-raped, beaten, and threatened with castration
- Dismemberment and decapitation

These findings of systematic sexual violence and torture are corroborated by the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict (2024) and the UN Commission of Inquiry (2024).

Just one quote from a survivor:

"I heard one rape where they were passing her around. She was probably injured, judging by her screams—screams you have never heard anywhere. It's between silence and screams, between pain and wanting to die. These are screams... it's something I have never heard in my life, and I have no way to explain to you what it sounds like. But it's screams. It's screams. It was simply horrific. And after one finished, he told another to go up 'Ta'al' [in Arabic], like to the next one. And apparently there was a round... And after they finished, they shot her." She continued: "You hear the screams, and then you hear silence. You hear a bang—and silence. And then there's a kind of calm. And then you say: okay, it's over at least. She's done with it. And like that with each person they abused—you heard. The moment they were killed, I said, 'Oh my God, finally, it's over.'"

You privileged Westerners have no idea how you would react if this happened to you and your loved ones—if a group committed these atrocities, vowed to repeat them again and again, and openly declared that it would not stop until your country no longer existed. You have no idea.

@MichealMartinTD @ZelenskyyUa Not that steadfast.

You are still selling the Russians Alumina to support their war machine.

She tells @CathyNewman that she thinks Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is "amazing" and a "truthful politician".

After the final, Argentina players were seen turning their backs on Spain while lifting the cup. Many thought this was a sign of disrespect, but it was later confirmed they were just looking at the goalposts, which they hadn’t seen all game.

Nadia was kidnapped, raped and sold by ISIS.

Her brothers were murdered for refusing to convert to Islam. Her mother was killed for being too old to be a sex slave.

Her event to share her story was canceled in Canada because the local Muslim community deemed it “Islamophobic.”

@kajakallas Now do Alumina.
