The NHS launched 78 years ago today.
These words have never felt more relevant.
The NHS isn’t perfect. But it can be great again, and it’s absolutely worth fighting for.
Pope Leo XIV visited Lampedusa, Italy, on the 250th anniversary of US independence, urging the world to treat migrants with greater humanity and calling on Americans to welcome and protect immigrants as a Catholic value of defending life https://t.co/sjQ7Nh2ZC7
The Trump Administration wanted Pope Leo XIV to visit the United States for our 250th anniversary.
Instead, he visited the Italian migrant island of Lampedusa and lifted up the plight of those who undertake a dangerous journey to new lands in search of a better future for their children.
The IDF should be proscribed as a terrorist organisation
All of the thousands who have left the UK to fight with the IDF should be arrested on their return to the UK & investigated for war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE
As an American pope, the fact that Pope Leo chose to spend the 250th anniversary of American independence in Lampedusa rather than the United States is a powerful message. It shows that the Church’s mission reaches beyond national celebrations to stand with the vulnerable and remember those seeking hope and safety. A deeply meaningful pastoral witness that speaks louder than words.
Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass on July 4th on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, calling for a response to migration rooted in human dignity rather than fear or indifference. Reflecting on the Good Samaritan, he said migrants lost at sea are “victims both of decisions that were made and of decisions that were not made.” He urged Europe to move beyond emergency responses and adopt long-term policies that protect, support, and integrate migrants.
Powerful moment in Lampedusa today as the Pope Leo climbs to the highest rock overlooking the Mediterranean where thousands of migrants drowned while seeking a better life.

Western mainstream media is nothing more than the Israeli propaganda machine.
It's no coincidence that the Zionist Labour government in the UK is moving to make it illegal to quote any non-mainstream sources reporting on Israeli war crimes.
It is July 2026
In the UK, the company LUSH is doing more to oppose the GENOCIDE in Gaza and to protect civil liberties in the UK than the Labour, Tory or Reform parties
And LUSH is doing more than @BBCNews and the rest of the mainstream media
Carole makes a good point about @lisanandy running away from her responsibilities.
She really has been useless in her job failing to deal with social media, the media in general and the BBC.
As much as Twitter has clearly become a cesspit, we fail to see how running away from it helps to solve the problem.
We all need to challenge misinformation, not just allow it to perpetuate in an abusive echo chamber.
Here's Yvette Cooper in 2015 saying she regrets voting in support of the Iraq war.
Presumably, her next two regrets will be for facilitating the Gaza genocide and proscribing Palestine Action, as both were equally appalling decisions.
She obviously never learns.
Foreign minister Hamish Falconer refused to answer questions yesterday about the UK government’s failure to stop British nationals fighting for the Israeli army in Gaza.
It comes after more than 25,000 people signed a letter to the Foreign Office demanding they investigate UK citizens who fought in Gaza and may have committed war crimes.
Thousands of British nationals have served in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) since the Gaza conflict began in 2023, according to a Freedom of Information response from the IDF first published by Declassified.

Some of us warned that this was the goal in October 2023 but we were told it was about the hostages. It was never about the hostages. It was always about conquest and ethnic cleansing.
