British woman on BBC:
"The oppression didn't start on October 7."
"You say 'Israel has the right to defend itself' — but what about Palestine, whose land was taken? Didn't it have the right to defend itself?"
"You speak of hostages. What about the Palestinian children under rubble — or in prisons? They are hostages too." 🇬🇧🎙️🔥🇮🇱🇵🇸💔

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.

When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

While we get threatened with hosepipe bans whenever there’s a week of sunshine, it is estimated that Al data centres will consume water equal to the needs of 1.3 billion people by 2030.

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

There needs to be a debate on folic acid.
Government are mandating this DRUG be added to our BREAD.

It is a massive issue for the health of millions.

Please sign so that parliament can challenge the decision.

Data centres use PFAS, "forever chemicals", in cooling systems and fire suppression. In 2024, the EPA determined there is no safe level of exposure to PFAS. Some are classified as carcinogenic by the WHO. They are linked to kidney and testicular cancers, thyroid disease, immune disruption. They do not break down. There is no specific PFAS standard in UK Water Quality Regulations. Operators are not required to register with a regulator. There is no mandatory water use reporting for data centres

BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage are applying to remove the judge in their case on the grounds of bias. Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence them as terrorists – despite being convicted of an ordinary criminal offence – in a move kept secret from the jury

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?

Imagine being rich enough to look at a protected coastline and think:

“Yeah, that should be a luxury resort.”

Jared Kushner tried it in Albania.

The locals said: absolutely not.

And honestly, it’s refreshing to see regular people remind billionaires that not every beach, forest, or piece of nature exists to be monetized.

Some places are worth protecting.

Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"

Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"

Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"

"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"

"And it shouldn't be like that"

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The UK is a place where a granny holding a cardboard sign protesting Genocide gets arrested.

But people coming back to the UK who committed that Genocide.

Just get waved in without any checks.

Is there anyone who actually supports that?

NEW: Ten days ago, Pope Leo XIV demanded guardrails on artificial intelligence.

Major shifts in Trump’s AI policy have followed.

Last night, the pope’s new ambassador stood before Washington’s AI industry and said their entire future must be built on human dignity.

The Leo revolution is just beginning. https://t.co/PcXn5Wmke3

Sick of hearing this. People have been making art and writing without machine assistance for thousands of years, and it’s profoundly degrading to suggest that students are now incapable of doing so. If these men have their way, it will be the death of thinking and the arts.

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

The government quietly handed Trump and Big Pharma control over NHS drug pricing and now it is being taken to court for doing it unlawfully.
