A truly haunting image… back and forth they are moved. Through a landscape that’s ever more unbelievable.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

The backer of GB News wants to take charge of the Daily Telegraph to expand his influence still further: please retweet if you would regard this as totally unacceptable.

I anticipate the Israeli gvt will not distance itself from Minister @bezalelsm's statement because starving the Palestinians in Gaza has been an intended policy of the State of #Israel over the past ten months.
European states can't absolve themselves from what they have let happen in Palestine under their watch. #EuropeanUnion states knew. And did not move a finger to stop the #genocide that has already scarred this century.
They can redeem themselves and stop it now.
How? #ArmsEmbargo, #Sanctions, suspension of economic, political and diplomatic ties with Israel until it ends its unlawful occupation of Palestinian lands and lives.

Nigel Farage has been exposed: Disgrace is all that's left for him https://t.co/ztgXyh071o

This cannot be repeated too often. Such a vile, hateful racist. #FarageRiots

To be clear…

Japan bans Israel from the annual ceremony marking the US 1945 atomic bombing of Nagasaki due to the genocide Netanyahu is committing in Gaza.

And for the very first time, Japan invites Palestine to the Nagasaki memorial instead.

“The fascists depend on fear”.

“But we’re not afraid of weird people”.

@tim_walz speaks to America. But it’s a clear message to everyone in the UK as well.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

UN experts and B’tselem reported this week on the widespread abuse, torture and sexual assault including rape amid atrocious inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody: Around 9,500 Palestinians, including hundreds of children, are currently imprisoned.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Siting MP and bastion of free speech @RobertJenrick thinks it should be illegal to praise God in Arabic.

It is wrong for a sitting MP to spout such racist hate speech, particularly at a time of critical right wing terror threats, and he should resign.

RT if you agree.

1/.@GwynneMP Current biggest Covid wave since 2022.WHO advice: Currently U.K. is not following it. Most citizens cannot access vaccines. Vaccines need to be constantly improved to keep up w/circulating variants which exhibit immune escape. No clean air. No masks in health care

This is the England I know and love.

The Holocaust seemed incomprehensible. Now we see in real time people carried towards hatred - carried to a place where they would attack the shops, restaurants and businesses of individuals belonging to a particular faith, where they would torch hotels, where they would murder.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

At last - calls for Farage to be investigated
Should also include the rest of his Party as he is their 'leader'

What the israelis do is unspeakable: Gaza’s children; toddlers, targeted with high velocity sniper bullets: some had their entire torsos blown off

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"The partially decomposed bodies of 89 unidentified Palestinians have been buried in a mass grave in Gaza after they were handed over by Israel... Israel hasn't disclosed the circumstances of their deaths nor has it explained why they were being detained"

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Are we missing a bigger point here (beyond Farage admitting to spreading the disinformation that has sparked the barrage of racist assaults)?…

Isn’t he saying that the race riots would be justified if the murderer had been an asylum seeker or Muslim?
