During this long hot summer, in what ought to be some of the most peaceful parts of the country where people go to relax, these machines are polluting the ears and the lungs more than ever. In many states in America, they’re now banned. Astonishing we still tolerate them.
Bernie Sanders moves to block ammunition sales to Israel.
He says sending more arms to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal. That’s why he introduced legislation to stop it.
Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon.
Civilians can’t flee.
Ambulances can’t reach the wounded.
Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies.
This is intentional.
This is a crime against humanity.
Why are we rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit from our King?
His illegal war is driving up costs for British families and he is belittling our country and insulting our troops.
Cancel the visit.
BREAKING: Pope Leo SLAMS Trump’s Oval Office evangelical pro-war powwow! – "War is not holy; only peace is holy!"
Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, issued a powerful condemnation from the Vatican today, directly rebuking the Christian Zionist leaders who gathered in the Oval Office to lay hands on Donald Trump and "bless" his unauthorized war against Iran.
In a moving appeal, the Chicago-born pope declared: "War is not holy; only peace is holy because it is willed by God."
He repeated the phrase several times for emphasis, calling the conflict an "immoral" assault that has already claimed American lives, Iranian civilians (including schoolgirls), and risks drawing the region – and the world – into wider catastrophe.
"If the world is deaf to this appeal, we are certain that God will hear our prayer and the lament of so much suffering," the pope said.
He urged religious leaders worldwide to echo the people's cry for peace, giving voice to the voiceless poor, the displaced, and the earth itself ravaged by destruction.
"We must dare peace," he insisted. "Enough of wars with their painful piles of death, their destruction and displacement." The pontiff framed the moment as a moral crisis: governments must heed the cry of the suffering, not the zealots who sanctify violence.
The response comes as Christian Zionist figures – many tied to the same evangelical networks boosting Trump's "end-times" rhetoric – publicly prayed over the president in the Oval Office, framing the bombardment as divine will and biblical prophecy.
The pope's words cut through that narrative with clarity: no war is holy, no matter how it's dressed in scripture. His Chicago roots and consistent opposition to Trump's policies add extra moral weight to the rebuke, underscoring growing international alarm over the lack of congressional authorization, the human cost, and the reckless escalation without an endgame.
While Trump shrugs off more dead troops as "the way it is" and his energy czar admits the war is a long-term oil grab, the leader of the Catholic Church calls for de-escalation and dares the world to choose peace over bloodshed. When even the pope denounces the war as immoral and the blessings as misguided, the moral bankruptcy of MAGA warmongering is laid bare.

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.
We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.
Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.
The right wing media went after Angela Rayner re her underpaying stamp duty and in the end she resigned. Nigel Farage has been found to have breached the MPs code of conduct SEVENTEEN TIMES.
Will the right wing media call for the resignation of con man Nigel Farage

The carnage we are seeing on the streets of the U.S. is exactly the kind of social order a certain “British” political party wants to bring to the U.K.
Division is their currency.
We must reject them fully.
Starmer’s Trump Tax is a disaster for our NHS and for patients. Billions of pounds will be plundered from hospitals and GPs to pay big American pharma, all to please the White House.
What on earth is Labour playing at?
UN position is clear:
The Israeli settlements in the West Bank & East Jerusalem, and the regime associated with them, have been established & are maintained in violation of international law. Settlements erode the viability of a Palestinian State as part of a two-State solution.
Today, a war criminal under indictment from the ICC will be welcomed to the White House.
Trump, like Biden before him, has aided and abetted the extremist Netanyahu government as it has systematically killed and starved civilians in Gaza.
It is a shameful day in America.
MPs voted this week to scrap the tax breaks handed to private schools.
The money will instead go to supporting the 93% of kids who go to state schools.
Yet Reform MPs voted to keep this tax break for the privileged few.
Remember that when they pretend to be on your side.
The world has witnessed the government of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Month after month, the government of Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its specific intent to physically destroy them. Israel's government and state officials responsible for the crime of genocide must be held accountable. We are calling on all States to use every legal avenue to bring suspected perpetrators to justice. No one should be allowed to commit genocide and remain unpunished. https://t.co/lyfB55V7Y5
