When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.

New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.

Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.

But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.

From the man who refused to believe the Skripals were poisoned by Russia, even when offered a Privy Council briefing on it - NSST bill has nothing to do with protest. It's about protecting us from foreign aligned influence ops #MilitantDemocracy

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

President Obama masterfully negotiated an agreement that prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Trump tore it up and went to war—only to lose the lives of 13 brave Americans, raise prices at the pump, and sign a failure of a “deal” that costs taxpayers billions.

The cuts just announced at the BBC are, as expected, a decimation of its journalistic output. That's what happens when government refuses to allow it to be funded in order to preserve programmes and talented and experienced staff. Great news though for liars and propaganda channels

When people show you who they are, believe them.

A family was inside the property when it was set alight.

Are you going to apologise @Matt_VickersMP?

Have you condemned the 🇷🇺 arson attacks against 🇬🇧 elected PM yet? Have you explained what’s happened to the £5m crypto bung yet?

[The Independent @Independent]

President Donald Trump on Wednesday spent nearly an hour attempting to offer multiple justifications of his decision to go to war with Iran. During his rambling speech he paused to attempt to swat a fly saying 'I wanted to get that little sucker'.

[Kate Wilton @KateWilton1]

Why aren’t the mainstream media picking up and reporting on this? It’s almost like it destroys their narrative.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

We discuss on this week’s @RestIsPolitics - @donaldtusk observed recently that he couldn’t understand how a Russian backed arson attack on a 🇬🇧 PM’s home and property was treated like “Arsenal 2 Liverpool 1,” just a run or the mill event. Fair play BBC for their investigation but generally the lack of interest and concern underlines systemic anti Labour bias across most of media, and with large elements of the right backing anything thought to be had for Starmer, even if (in some cases especially if) it aligns with Russia China or anyone else who might want to damage Britain. Putin has plenty of useful idiots here
