The Private Finance Initiative was supposed to be buried. Instead, it’s being exhumed, and this time it will be applied not to individual hospitals or schools, but to entire cities.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨BREAKING: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has reportedly been transferred to solitary confinement and is being denied essential medical care.

For many, he is a name in the news. For those who witnessed Gaza’s darkest days, he is the doctor who refused to abandon his patients while bombs fell around him.

He stood before the cameras as the world watched northern Gaza collapse under relentless attacks. He lost his son, endured the siege of Jabalia, and remained at the hospital until the very end, determined to save lives despite the danger surrounding him.

Today, the man who waited for aid trucks to reach his wounded patients under shelling sits alone in a prison cell.

A doctor whose only crime was refusing to leave his patients behind.

Israel just bombed a residential neighborhood in Beirut, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, the ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Last night, Israeli occupation forces abducted political analyst and academic Dr. Bilal Al Shobaki, head of the Political Science Department at Hebron University, after raiding his home in the city of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.

Local sources said that an Israeli military force stormed Al Shobaki's home at dawn and conducted a thorough search before abducting him, spreading fear and distress among his family.

@MccailColl There’s an assumption Scotland has the energy and water to feed these and that Environmental Impact Assessments will be waived. Some serious questions about this need to be asked in Holyrood.

2.  The Scottish Context: Already at Crisis Scale
Scotland is not facing a hypothetical threat. APRS has documented 17 live hyperscale data centre planning applications across Scotland, with more in earlier stages of the pipeline. Combined energy demand from current applications alone stands at 4,450–4,950 MW — greater than Scotland's entire winter peak electricity demand of approximately 4,000 MW.
• Scotland's current total annual energy consumption: 21,762 GWh (2023)
• Projected annual demand if current applications are approved: approximately 38,982 GWh
• Effect: more than doubling Scotland's entire energy use
• Jobs created: minimal — data centres are highly automated facilities
• Planning decisions to date: none approved; Edinburgh rejected one application in early 2026 on green credentials grounds
APRS, the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland (ERCS), and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) have all written to Scottish Ministers and party leaders calling for an immediate moratorium. The Scottish Government's response to date has been to note that planning authorities are responsible for considering environmental implications — without issuing the guidance that would give those authorities a consistent basis for refusal.

They all saw what Israelis did in Gaza

This isn’t Lebanon.

This is Gaza right now.

Israel is dropping bombs on tents packed with families in the middle of the night in Khan Younis.

This is what they call a “ceasefire.”

⭕️ New at Drop Site: How Secret Pro-Israel Money Flooded the Labour Party and Ended with a Ban of Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur

A years-long investigation by journalist Paul Holden traces how a little-known organization called Labour Together evolved into the political machine that helped engineer Keir Starmer’s rise to power, dismantle Jeremy Corbyn’s left-wing movement, and ultimately reshape the British state.

Drawing on leaked internal documents, whistleblower material, Freedom of Information requests, and records obtained under UK data laws, the investigation reveals that Labour Together received more than £800,000 from wealthy donors between 2017 and 2020, including over £406,000 from prominent Israel lobbyist Sir Trevor Chinn, while failing to declare more than £600,000 in donations before later being fined by the Electoral Commission.

The report details how Labour Together’s longtime managing director, Morgan McSweeney, developed a strategy to remove Corbyn, install a successor, and systematically purge the Labour left while publicly presenting the project as one of party unity. McSweeney would later become Starmer’s chief of staff and one of the most influential figures in government.

Holden also documents Labour Together’s role in amplifying Labour’s “antisemitism” crisis, helping build campaigns against independent media outlets and journalists critical of Israel, and later hiring the global lobbying firm APCO Worldwide to investigate Holden and other reporters examining the organization.

The investigation further traces the links between Labour Together, senior members of Starmer’s government, pro-Israel organizations that campaigned to exclude Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, and the Home Secretary who ultimately imposed the bans. Rather than an isolated immigration decision, the report argues, the exclusions were the culmination of a political project years in the making.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers SET FIRE to Palestinian lands in the Al Naqar area near Al Mughayyir, east of Ramallah.

Israeli forces then BLOCKED firefighting crews from extinguishing the flames.

Settlers ignite the fires.

Israeli forces make sure they keep burning.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

These women are wearing thobes and crosses 🇵🇸✝️

Not as a costume. Not as a statement. Simply as who they are.

Palestinian Christian women from the land where Jesus was born, walked, preached, was crucified, and rose again. Descendants of the first Christians. Custodians of the oldest continuous Christian community on earth.

Still here. Still praying. Still embroidering their history into their dresses, stitch by stitch, generation by generation.

Every pattern tells a story. Every cross tells a story. Every thobe tells a story.

The world keeps asking whether Christians belong in the Holy Land.

They never left.
