@LowEndLeader I’m going to give you a 19th/20th Century Turkish word that must be considered by all leaders (#prententious, or not): *adamsendecilik* ‘being messed about in a pointless way by someone in authority to the point at which you need help’ - that’s what’s got to stop at every level.

I am not using my account here to comment on things often, but this news story needs a comment:
How is it possible that a professional European politician in 2026 does not see the very obvious historical parallels of supporting the idea of creating lists of Jews?

[Royal Marines @RoyalMarines]

1/2 Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and comrades of Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lily-Mae Fisher and PO Owen Green, who died when their helicopter crashed in Devon.

Cherished members of the Commando Helicopter Force, all three will never be forgotten.

The US hard left want to point to a 19 year old Azov soldier with a neo-Nazi patch on his uniform and condemn an entire country to destruction in response, then look at a 41 year old ex-Blackwater mercenary with a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest and elect him into high office.

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

[The Irish Politics Newsletter @TullMcAdoo]

First Irish politician out of the traps to call for Aughinish Alumina to stop sending material to Russia. This is going to snowball over the weekend once other revelations about the plant come out.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’

I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.

I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues

Irish councilor: “No to Netanyahu. Yes to Putin.”

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Over 90% of the 11 million Muslims killed between 1950 and 2007 were killed by fellow Muslims. Of all conflict deaths in that period, Arab-Israeli fighting accounts for just 0.06%.

The Arab world has used Palestinian suffering as a political weapon for 75 years while treating actual Palestinians with contempt, expulsion and massacre whenever they became inconvenient. That is the story nobody tells.

Whether it’s Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, or Syria.

This is brilliant journalism from @caelanreports. The Irish government needs to act.

[Sarah Vine @WestminsterWAG]

Does he want them to wear yellow armbands too?

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

The way you know this was a Hezbollah mortar is because certain foreign correspondents appear to have nothing to say about it.

[James Glancy @jaglancy]

RIP Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher.

A tragic loss of an amazing Royal Navy Officer.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

Tonight I am thinking of the families, friends and colleagues of the three aviators who tragically died in yesterday’s crash.

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

It is with great sadness that we can confirm the deaths of Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson and Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher of 846 Naval Air Squadron, and Petty Officer Owen Green of 845 Naval Air Squadron, who died in Devon during routine training activity on 3 June.

[David Baddiel @Baddiel]

This piece suggests that because a German hotel had had a bad week with fake bookings, they somehow, when they *meant* to say, “sorry can we just run an ID verification check?” said instead “No Jews allowed”.
An easy mistake to make I guess.
NARRATOR: This is not an easy mistake to make.

[Dr. Jane Clare Jones @janeclarejones]

This is the most 2026 thing I have ever seen.

[AzorTheReturn @AzorTheReturn]

@stuartscheller "people like you"

Meanwhile, "Ultimately, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller’s actions were dishonorable, reflected misplaced courage, and demonstrated a lack of commitment to his Marines, to the naval service, and to the nation and the Constitution".

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Ten Flotilla land convoy members were detained by Libyan militias TEN DAYS AGO and just had their imprisonment extended by the repressive regime there. I haven’t seen a global outcry or obsessive coverage by media. I wonder why.

[Emma Harriet Nicholson @Baroness_Nichol]

Ms Hayden - the British public - first the electorate of Torridge and West Devon,then the electorate of the South East of England - unlike you I’ve been elected by millions of UK citizens and I respect and serve them. And you? We haven’t met so I would be delighted to know. BNoW
