Massive kudos to Scotland Tartan Army hero Craig Ferguson - who has arrived in Boston after an incredible 3,200 mile trek across America. The mental health campaigner has raised over £1 million for Scottish Action for Mental Health. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

They told us we’d never leave the EU.

They told us we’d never have Boris Johnson as PM.

They told us Labour would deliver change.

They will tell us they can stop Nigel Farage holding power.

Britain is broken.

Let’s take control of our own destiny as an independent nation.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I join Amnesty International in condemning #Eurovision and call everyone with a conscience not to watch it.
BIG THANK YOU to the 5 countries who withdrew from the competition:
Iceland!
Ireland!
Netherlands!
Slovenia!
Spain!

Put Apartheid out of our lives.

Reform and their super-rich donors are the real threat to our country. #stvdebate

Terrifying revelation. A retired top US General exposes Pete Hegseth for firing the Army's Chief of Chaplains. He reveals these top generals were purged because they stood up against Hegseth's psychotic claim that US soldiers are fighting for Jesus. A nationalist takeover!

Absolute bombshell on LBC. James O'Brien brutally exposes Benjamin Netanyahu's war crimes. He confirms Israel is systematically leveling entire neighborhoods in Lebanon to the ground, turning homes into rubble just to steal their land. Pure state terrorism.

Crisis in chaos 🚨

The 33 kms wide Strait of Hormuz, which oversees the global oil shipments, is controlled by Iran.

India, which imports 85-90% of its oil from Persian Gulf, would be the worst hit Country if Iran blocks or chokes the Strait of Hormuz following the unprovoked assault on its sovereignty and assassination of its Supreme Leader.

In better times, Iran would have ensured steady supply of oil to India. But with Israeli medal in Modi’s neck, that possibility is remote, with the new regime of Iran.

Not that this common sense was not known to Indian Diplomats. But they are helpless in front of a narcissist megalomaniac who has single handedly destroyed the Idea of India.

“Israel has zero intention to relinquish control of the Gaza Strip.”

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is “non-existent”, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese says.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Israel are "100% not serious" about withdrawing from Gaza, says former Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin.

Baskin says some in the Israeli government have wanted to renew the war and so the US and other world leaders are having to "babysit Bibi" to keep Israel from going back to full-scale conflict.

He added, the United States will continue to "lean on" Israel to adhere to the ceasefire while Israel "kicks and screams" trying to violate it.
