Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website.

Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s?

Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today.

The German FM puts forward two key policy reasons as to why Germany - for the first time - lost a bid for an elected seat on the UN Security Council.

Germany's support for Ukraine and its support for Israel.

Let's be clear: Germany's support for Ukraine had nothing to do with it. Portugal and Austria - who beat Germany - are no less supportive of Ukraine.

It has EVERYTHING to do with Germany's support for Israel's genocide and the manner in which the German government has been willing to undermine international law and the UN Charter on behalf of Israel.

Germany's blind support for Israeli crimes cost Germany its seat on the UNSC. As it should.

Trump has paid less in tax than a public school teacher, at times paying nothing. In a bogus settlement deal, he negotiated with his own administration to prevent any audit of his tax returns.

I filed an amendment to ensure Congressional oversight of this corrupt deal and consideration of legislation to block it.

Horrifying testimony of Australian woman raped by the IOF:

'They wrenched my trousers and underwear down and it felt like I was inserted with a hand..it wasn't a gun...other people had guns inserted inside them.'

A video of a Dutch policeman throwing a heavily pregnant woman to the ground has caused outrage. The woman says police attacked her at a migration centre where authorities had detained her Palestinian husband.

[Nature Vid @naturevid2]

This video was deleted from Facebook yesterday.

You know what to do ‼️

Israel uses dogs to rape Palestinians.

Listen to this man’s testimony.

He is recounting a profound trauma that he witnessed with his own eyes.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.

Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.

Epic moment 🔥

🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM — “No President has done this. We got Iran to talk nukes. Maybe even give them up. This is First time ever.”

🇺🇸Obama at 6:00 PM — “Did it already. No missiles fired. Moved 97% of their enriched uranium out. We didn't have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz like you.”🔥👏

People are saying that Nigel Farage has asked Elon Musk to ban people from X for sharing this clip of him attacking his crony Robert Jenrick.

Surely free speech champion Nigel Farage isn't that petty? But just in case, THIS is the video that you mustn't download or share

Ireland becomes a further European country pledging to ban imports from Israel's illegal settlements.

Even this simple step refuses to be taken by Keir Starmer's Labour.

Very pleased to share details of the full Special Issue on the Bristol School of Multiculturalism.
Consisting of the ‘second wave’ of the BSM, most articles identify something missing from the work of the first wave and seek to rectify that:

Stephen Colbert aired his final show last night after Paramount fired him to appease Trump.

The Ellisons are now eyeing Warner Bros — and Trump's eager to give it to them.

His media takeover is happening in broad daylight. Here's what we can do about it.
