After almost 3 years, this is what our government thinks is appropriate.
The smell of cowardice is nauseating.
These gombeen men do not represent the wishes of the Irish people. The very definition of lickspittles.

[Ian Prowse @IanProwse]

Sorry but you can’t triangulate about genocide.
To quote @paulwellerHQ ‘You’re either for genocide or you’re against it, there is no grey area’.

[Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @LeftieStats]

🚨BREAKING | Andy Burnham says that Israel's murderous assault on Gaza is NOT a genocide.

The aspiring PM added that he "can't judge" Israel for what they have done.

BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage are applying to remove the judge in their case on the grounds of bias. Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence them as terrorists – despite being convicted of an ordinary criminal offence – in a move kept secret from the jury

Just so everyone is clear, the gripe here is that China is destroying the profits of the western bourgeoisie, because they are forced to make their products cheaper to compete with Chinese competitors.

This is the central argument of 100% of all western economic analysis of China. The more affordable China's products, the more it destroys their monopolies and their profit margins.

As always, the purpose of such propagandists, as well as their "elected" governments, is to make the interests of the bourgeoisie appear like the national interests of their respective countries. It's the first rule of bourgeois economics: What's good for the bourgeoisie is good for the proletariat.

Gary Lineker was speaking about Israel's crimes in much the same way as Richie Sadlier, and for the same reason (he's an intelligent guy with a basic moral compass). It's only a year since he was forced off the BBC to punish him for precisely that.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Their absence of self-awareness is a serious pathology. They just killed 3k civilians (really, civilians) and are complaining that their invading soldiers are facing some risks WHILE INVADING.

[B O G ~ D W E L L E R @real_bogdweller]

remember like a month ago when zach polanski retweeted a member of the public's concerns about police conduct and all of politics came screeching to a halt for the day to condemn such a wholly inappropriate political interference into operational policing?

[Paula @lunaberga]

Hoyle is taking the proverbial. He is basically saying he can do as chooses with zero scrutiny or accountability.

Like hell he can.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

While we’re talking about document releases… Back in 2025, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, was allowed to block emails he sent to Israeli politicians from being published. This process created a clear conflict of interest. No wonder public trust in our political system is on the wane.

[Benny Hunter @BennnyH]

Jewish councillor Martin Abrams was previously suspended by Lambeth Labour for calling for a ceasefire during the genocide in Gaza

He defected to the Greens - accusing LP colleagues of "pandering to the far right”

This evening he's elected Lambeth Council Leader for the Greens.

Cenk Uygur on UK BAN:

"I can criticize the king. I can criticize the UK government. I can criticize the prime minister.

But I cannot criticize Israel. Just like in the old days when you couldn't criticize the king"

[Alex Shams @alexshams_]

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there

Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games

I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history

[Elvis Buñuelo @Mr_Considerate]

Given that I can hear from Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyger any time I like, what is the benefit, to anyone, of banning them from personal appearances in the UK? What is it about their physical presence specifically that "may not be conducive to the public good"?

[Noot Noot🐧 @PunishedPingu]

Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.

[Coll McCail @MccailColl]

As Hasan Picker and Cenk Uygur are denied entry to the UK, it’s worth remembering that Isaac Herzog — accused of “direct and public incitement to commit genocide” by the UN Commission of Inquiry report — was welcomed by Keir Starmer on the steps of No10 in September.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

[John Stanners @JohnStanners]

The fact @LindsayHoyle_MP was emailing Israeli politicians is bad enough but to use the powers of the @CommonsSpeaker to block publication of these communications is an affront to democracy. They need to be published and he needs to be removed from office.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

For any British viewer, watching these Irish commentators explain why it is important for Ireland to boycott a football match against Israel is like being thrust into an alternate universe. One where morality – not money – guides the agenda.

A different world is possible.

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

So the new Mandelson files don't include anything from Mandelson's own personal device - because he refused to hand it over to the government for searching.
Of course, McSweeney's phone was stolen after he'd selected only a handful of messages to turn over to the Cab Office
