When you realise what the israelis have done, so systematically, so coldly, you have to ask why the Americans & the British wanted to be a part of it

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

@simonmaginn Look - the Israel lobby is making it clear - that there is no Israel lobby.😉

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

There is UN taken video of cats eating dead bodies in Gaza 🇵🇸

You won’t see it on mainstream media

You won’t hear outrage from Starmer 🇬🇧

You won’t hear of a weapons ban on Israel 🇮🇱

You won’t see Israel 🇮🇱 suspended from the UN

Media; Starmer 🇬🇧 and Biden 🇺🇸 are all guilty

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Josep Borrell, Head of EU Defence Agency:

“The Sec Gen of the UN is not antisemitic. The PM of Spain 🇪🇸 is not antisemitic….I have the right to criticise the decisions of the Israeli 🇮🇱 Govmnt…without being accused of antisemitism. This is not acceptable. That’s enough.”

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Paul Keating is not wrong. 😳👇

[Critter @asclepiasyriaca]

Seniors voted to gut Social Security.

Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.

Immigrants voted for deportation raids.

Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.

Women voted to have fewer rights than men.

Police voted for a convicted felon.

As a reminder,

The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

He seems a little confused about the difference between ‘defence’ and ‘attack’. Perhaps someone can explain it to him!

[Steve Howell @FromSteveHowell]

Starmer's one-sided, double-speak in 42 seconds...

He says Israel has a right to "defend" itself against "Iranian aggression" - even though Israel bombed an Iranian embassy in April and assassinates people on its territory.

Then he tells Iran not to respond to this new assault!

Trump talking about the President of the United States. Trump is in need of care I think!

[Donald Trump’s Neck Vagina @torontobaddy]

Trump, to Jill Biden - “Jill, get your fat husband off the couch. Get that fat pig off the couch. Get him up, Jill. Slap him around.”

Truly unhinged and disturbing.

[Triple Lock Pensions @TPensions]

Here's the proof that Labour was aware of a so called black hole,
When in fact it was nothing more than a cynical smoke screen used by Labour to deny the #pensioners their #WinterFuelPayment
The people will never forget this!

So am I right in saying that if I’ve never worked I would receive a state pension, then in turn receive pension credit, then in turn get fuel allowance.

That means then if you’ve worked all your life & paid into your pension then you won’t get fuel allowance

How’s that fair 🤔

[Minxyminx1952🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 @minxyminx1952]

@ToryFibs 73% of pensioners will not receive the full Triple Lock rise of £460 because they are on the pre 2016 basic pension. They will get around £150 less. It’s misleading to always quote post 2016 higher pension figures when only a 27% of current pensioners are in receipt of it

Out of interest: when did Parliament last vote to lower/cut/constrain any MP benefits?

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

the idea of 9,000 millionaires leaving Britain sounds dramatic until you remember there are 2,849,000 millionaires in this country

it’s literally a rounding error given the ebb and flow of migration
