So Burnham has ditched PR, will continue Shabana Mahmoods immigration policies, and will stick to Rachel Reeves fiscal rules.
I have changed my mind, the Greens should absolutely stand against this Blairite melt.
@Keir_Starmer LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Never again does not apply to Gaza, or the West Bank, or to Syria, or to Lebanon, and definitely not to Iran. Thank you for your attention.
Avocado toast and lattes getting downgraded to a Tesco meal deal in 'here's why you can't afford a house' twitter is the clearest measure of inflation there is.
Jewish-US orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who worked in Gaza, recounted that Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, & buried them alive at Nasir hospital... their cries muffled by the dirt poured over them.
OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE:
A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment.
No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process.
Just him. And books he had read.
He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description.
He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy.
His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.”
He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying.
“No.”
Did DOGE reduce the deficit?
“No.”
A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund.
No experience. No regret. No results.
Under oath.
Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
No one deserves to be shot brutally in public, sliced open by the bullet of a cowardly sniper.
Hence, I condemn in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of at least 1500 Palestinians by snipers - many of whom were women and children collecting food - by the IDF cowards in Gaza.
And I condemn in the strongest terms the shooting of over 1000 Palestinians living in the West Bank in 'clashes' instigated by Isareli forces.
And I also condemn in the strongest terms the bombing and intentional killing of over 70,000 civilians in Gaza by the genocidal regime of Netanyahu.
Anyone who justified or mocked those deaths deserves no sympathy and is no hero - even as the same verdict above holds true for them as well.
Dying by violence does not cleanse a legacy of justifying violence.
To be clear what happened here.
Israel bombed a hospital.
They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive.
Then they bombed it again.
This is known as the 'double tap'.
You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.
Israel murdered a Reuters journalist. In a hospital.
As rescue workers tried to recover his body, Israel murdered them. Live on TV. Along with three more journalists.
Apparently "it's complicated".
This is what “UK Lawyers for Israel” does
What do you even call this?
Evil doesn’t get close
Just think how poisoned your soul must be to do this kind of thing
