"NHS staff could be barred from wearing.. pro Palestinian symbols on their uniforms.. [this] is one of several recommendations in a review into antisemitism.. within the NHS"

This isnt about tackling antisemitism. Its about cracking down on any display of support 4 Palestinians

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

It’s begun: The Great Rewriting of History by the politicians, journalists, media commentators who stayed quiet over Gaza to keep climbing the greasy pole - while a handful of us who spoke-up were smeared, abused, or fired.

As @Hamza_a96 says, don’t let them do it:

What a speech…. He deserves another award for the speech

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Including, but maybe especially this: it’s a pattern.

Harborne’s donations to Boris Johnson. And Boris Johnson’s pro-crypto statements prefigure those to Farage.

And today the Guardian picked it & linked back to the FT.

But there is way more important detail in @CharlieNotOld & @LuciaOC_’s reporting that neither newspaper, or any other, has picked up yet

Last week: @thenerve_news.

This week: the FT View.

We forensically tracked cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne’s donations against Nigel Farage’s crypto policy statements.

Yesterday the FT pulled out this same point in its main editorial & notes the similarity to Trump.

Kier Starmer has of course issued zero statements on Israel bombing Tyre in Southern Lebanon, causing massive destruction in a densely populated city in total violation of the ceasefire. Also happening in the last 48 hours.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

The UN Secretary-General just put Israel on the pariah list for rape and sexual violence in conflict. The first time in UN history.

Gang rape. Shooting at genitals. Standard operating procedure, says the UN’s own investigators.

The world cannot say it did not know

Who is killing children in Lebanon @Reuters?

So, I have a friend who works at the BBC.

Yesterday, they told me the Tony Blair Institute basically selected the entire panel for @bbcquestiontime — hence why there was no balance and it was essentially dangerous big tech propaganda. Loads of staff pissed off, but silenced.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Anyone else been given a “friendly nudge” not to “tweet about Gaza/Israel so much” because “it could be misconstrued [in the media industry]”

I have.

To the person concerned: unlike you, I’m not a bully, biased or a coward. I’m evidence driven.

Try it again and I’ll out you.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute.

Just let this sink in.
These 2 traitors were paid £1 million each to rig General Election, destroying democracy.
Billionaire owned UK Media IGNORING IT.
ALSO DESTROYING DEMOCRACY!!

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Companies referring to people as “Lower value human capital”

Welcome to end stage capitalism

Add this term to others such as “economically inactive” & “useless eaters”

The disabled, homeless & elderly fall in these categories too

Worth must never be measured by productivity.

''Girls are being raped. Not metaphorically. Not as legal shorthand. The day their bodies bleed for the first time, they will be made pregnant by a man four, five, or six times their age, and their small bodies tell the rest. Thirty-two per cent of deaths for Afghan girls aged 15 to 19 are pregnancy-related and Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate is among the world's highest, 521 deaths per 100,000 live births.'' - Writes @NasimiShabnam

Our Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon has deleted his entire social media history because he has nothing at all to hide and we definitely aren't going to find he's a massive racist or anything.
