I am at the Washington Correspondents dinner. First I’d like to thank law enforcement for their swift response in preventing a tragedy.
Second, almost everything you’re reading about this incident on X is false. There were multiple shooters and possible casualties.
🚨 Appalling reports: Israeli soldiers are reportedly mocking the suffering of children in Gaza and publicly sharing it on social media, as the devastating war on the enclave continues.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

It’s strange that the IDF took down the page.
The IDF officially published a one-second clip that appears to show a human bait dressed in an IDF uniform accompanying troops during the October 25, 2024, raid on Kamal Idwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza ->
I am financially censored.
All the banks closed my bank accounts for criticizing Israel and U.S. war crimes at the UN
I cannot have a bank account. I cannot have a credit or debit card. I cannot make or receive payments
I’m not a criminal. I represent people’s voice at the UN!
In merely over 200 years, the USA has done nothing but proudly murder people of all races across the world.
Focus on how to improve ordinary American people's lives; they rise up to you every day demanding affordable housing, healthcare, and education.
If you can't even stand with Americans in pursuit of human rights and dignity, you can shut your hypocritical mouth talking about other countries.
It’s Iranian propaganda that a primary school was hit in Iran, killing 160+ people, most of them children aged between 7 and 12.
Ok, those kids did die. But it wasn’t from a US missile. It was an Iranian missile that hit the school.
Ok, the evidence shows it was a US Tomahawk. But it could have been one sold to the UK or the Netherlands.
Ok, neither of those countries was involved at the start of the war. But it must have been an unfortunate accident.
Ok, the US targeted the school twice. But c’mon, who locates a primary school near a military base?
Ok, the Israelis and Americans do that too. But …
Hey, why should I even care about brown kids getting killed.

Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt"
"From the day I was charged RPI interest"
"Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000"
"Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes"
"On top of that its a regressive system"
"If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me"
"The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking"
Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?"
Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?"
"The state paid for it, didn't they?"
Fiona Bruce, "They did"
