🚨 Urgent Message from Rafif’s Family 🚨
Someone is impersonating us, stealing our family photos, and exploiting our suffering in Gaza to run a fraudulent fundraising campaign on Chuffed.
We want to make it absolutely clear: this campaign has no connection to our family whatsoever. We have never authorized anyone to create or manage a fundraiser on our behalf except the one officially linked on our social media accounts.
⚠️ The ONLY official fundraiser for Rafif’s family is the one linked in our Instagram and Twitter/X bios, and it is managed by our friend in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, Abbey Wilson.
Any other fundraiser, campaign, or organizer using our photos, story, or name is not affiliated with us in any way.
We urgently ask everyone to:
🔹 Share this post widely.
🔹 Report the fraudulent page and fundraiser.
🔹 Help stop the exploitation of our family’s suffering and protect donors from being deceived.
Your support and your voice can help prevent this scam from harming others and ensure that assistance reaches the people it is truly intended for.
Thank you to everyone who stands with us and helps spread the truth.
Our only friend , is the only one managing the Rafif family's campaign, the only one receiving donations. She created a new campaign for us after changing her bank account and discontinuing the previous one.
Fear controls every moment of our lives. The sky over Khan Younis is filled with drones and helicopters flying at very low altitudes, their constant noise becoming part of our days and nights.
This small window screen that once protected us from the cold night air and insects can no longer protect us from anything. Continuous bombardment and airstrikes have torn it apart, just as they have torn apart so many simple parts of our lives.
We live between fear and uncertainty, trying to hold on to the little hope we have left amid pain that seems never-ending.
Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts. We desperately need them. Perhaps a sincere prayer will reach the heavens and bring us some peace, safety, and mercy during these difficult days.
Israeli forces have detained a player on the Palestinian national women’s football team, along with a former national player, sparking renewed anger at Fifa for its failure to ban the apartheid state’s football association.
Rand Halawani, 20, was taken on Tuesday night in Jerusalem and a court extended her detention until Friday, amid reports that her family did not know where she was being held.
Ex-national player Natalie Abu Diyeh, was also detained in the illegally occupied West Bank alongside three other young Palestinian women, AFP reported. Israel’s military claimed, without offering evidence, that the women were suspected of “terrorist-related” activity.
Palestinians detained by Israel are at serious risk of abuse. Israeli rights group B’Tselem has found that Israel runs a “network of torture camps” where Palestinians are subjected to beatings, starvation, sleep deprivation and sexual violence.
The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said the players’ detention was part of a “pattern of systematic targeting of Palestinian athletes, which continues without accountability”.
Palestinian footballers are “denied freedom of movement, safety and the basic right to participate in sport under equal conditions, rights that Fifa explicitly guarantees,” it added.
Fifa has not commented on the players’ detention, even though the PFA is a member.
“The continued silence and inaction of the international football community… enables these illegal practices to continue with impunity,” the PFA said.
As the federation gears up to host the World Cup in North America next week, it is under renewed scrutiny for continuing to allow the Israel Football Association (IFA) to be a member despite Israel’s long history of suppressing Palestinian sports.
In 2014, Israeli soldiers repeatedly shot two Palestinian footballers in the feet as they returned from a training session in the West Bank, ending their careers.
In March, Fifa’s disciplinary committee said Israel had brought “football into disrepute” and was practising a “de facto system of segregation” by excluding Palestinians from the sport and failing to take action against rampant anti-Arab racism in many clubs.
But it stopped short of banning or suspending the country’s football association, as it did with Russia shortly after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Tony Blair once said: “My project will be complete when the Labour Party learns to love Peter Mandelson.”
That quote is worth remembering given The Times is reporting that Blair plans more interventions on Labour’s future.
Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.

Jeremy Vine an awful arrogant shit stirrer.
But this time he seems to have gone too far his post about the cost of disabled people was exactly the strategy the Nazis used.
Now there are calls for him to be fired.
If you think it’s time to end his hate. RT

That’s right John. Since 1989, no major new reservoir has been built in England by privatised water companies.
Indeed, at least 35 reservoirs have been sold off since 2017.
Maybe even you can see it’s now time for public ownership?
ICYMI that’s not nationalisation.
🚨 SCANDAL: Reform UK’s Thug Tactics on DISPLAY! 🚨
Reform have officially become the party of intimidation and bullying, with ZERO boundaries.
They stormed into The Hamlet cafe in Wakefield on Wednesday, overwhelming vulnerable young people with additional needs who were training there. No warning. Ignored the rules.
Turned a safe space into a chaotic media circus.
Gemma, the owner, is devastated. This wasn’t politics, this was thuggery.
@AndyBurnhamGM just dropped the full video. Every decent person needs to watch this.
#ReformUK: This is NOT how you win Britain back. This is how you lose all respect.
Shame on you. 🇬🇧

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.
And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.
It's hard not to see the lie.
RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.
At the Hotel Summit I spoke about why the business case for accessibility matters.
When legislation alone hasn’t delivered fully accessible hotels, commercial opportunity can help drive change too.
Accessibility is a win-win for disabled guests and the hospitality industry.
