They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
Planting a doomed olive tree for Palestine and then immediately setting up a $28m fund for the defense of Jewish feelings is just too good. This guy's going places.
Just worth pointing out that after three years of genocide in Gaza, leaving the entire strip in ruins and a hellscape, we still have an Israeli ambassador sitting in London.
Think about that before you fall into the trap of believing that Burnham and Miliband are sincere in their stance on the issue.
Fine words butter no parsnips, while as these words are being written children in Gaza are eating rocks.
In Scotland personal care has been free for 24 years. It has not impacted the state pension but taxes are a little higher here for the better paid. Now, Westminster will restrict pension growth in Scotland to help pay for personal care in England.
You Yes yet?

If mamdani’s anti semitism plan was legit, it begs the question- systemic racism is real- against black people, so why isn’t there a task force and this concerted focus and activity and law enforcement against that?
Why is this type of protection only afforded to a specific group that’s also using their religious spaces, hiding behind religion to sell Palestinian land?
⚡️Comment by the Russian Embassy in Belgium on the escalation of the military-political situation around the Kaliningrad Region by NATO countries (September 28, 2026)
We are deeply concerned by the provocative statements and actions of the North Atlantic Alliance's leadership and NATO member states with respect to the Kaliningrad Region, an integral part of the Russian Federation.
We observe an unprecedented surge in the Alliance's military activity along our western borders. Initiatives aimed at containing the alleged “Russian threat” are expanding, with large-scale exercises rehearsing offensive operations.
In the Baltic region, the Alliance is constantly seeking to create new threats to our fleet, openly modeling specific scenarios for detaching the Kaliningrad Region and developing plans for the military and political isolation of the northwestern ports.
In January 2025, Operation "Baltic Sentry" was launched, aimed at testing mechanisms for the unilateral blocking of international shipping.
Simultaneously we are witnessing a sharp escalation in the rhetoric of Western military and political circles, particularly on the eastern flank. Deliberately raising the level of confrontation, they are making statements claiming that NATO has the capability to strike military targets in the Kaliningrad region and calling for new "aggressive" exercises to be organised near Russia’s borders.
The Alliance is conducting a large-scale information campaign to propagate the myth of the ‘Russian threat’ and to spread false information about Moscow’s alleged "intentions’ to attack one of the Baltic states by 2029 at the latest, or even sooner. Plans are being announced for the cross-border evacuation of the population"in the event of a major crisis".
At the same time, the statements repeatedly made by our country’s highest leadership - that it has no intentions or motives to initiate any military action - as well as the proposal to NATO countries to set out mutual security guarantees in writing, are being completely ignored.
❗️In light of the aggressive stance pursued by the bloc’s leadership and member states, the Embassy has conveyed our fundamental positions to the NATO International Staff and the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We have warned that the aforementioned reckless and irresponsible course of action sharply increases the risks of a direct armed conflict with our country. We have emphasised that Russia possesses the necessary means to repel any potential aggression and is prepared to deploy its entire arsenal to defend its territory should NATO countries attempt to isolate the Kaliningrad region from the rest of our country.
We have called on the bloc’s member states to refrain from further escalatory statements and actions in order to prevent a large-scale confrontation.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 🇶🇦 The Prime Minister of Qatar just confirmed what we all knew.
Hamas offered to give Israel all of the civilian hostages at the beginning of the genocide in return for a temporary ceasefire.
But Israel REFUSED.
Qatari PM: “they rejected to even entertain the idea.”
It was never about the hostages. Israel had no interest in them, even for a temporary ceasefire.
They were waiting for Oct 7, they wanted to commit genocide.
⚡️ Statement by the Embassy of Russia in Ireland (September 29, 2026)
There has been an abundance of talk, recently, from the European political circles that Russia somehow is planning to launch a military invasion of Europe, escalate its alleged hybrid campaign against European countries, or both. The slogan of “Russian threat” is being recycled in the Western media on a daily basis. The aim is clear – to justify higher defense spending, the overall militarization of Europe, as well as to promote further financial, military and political assistance to the Kiev regime, which is being painted as “the bulwark against Russian aggression”.
The current governments in Europe would like everybody to believe that they are the victims of Russia’s alleged hostility or objects of the imminent “Russian invasion”. There is nothing to support such a claim. Moscow’s position on the security situation in Europe has always been consistent and confirmed yet again by President Putin on September 25 – we have no plans, no reasons and, most importantly, no real motives for aggravating situation with Europe.
This should be taken as a signal of restraint and patience on the part of Russia, given the level of real threat to its national security from the West with the marked and substantial increase of NATO and EU military activity along the entire Western border of Russia. Only in recent months, from June to September 2026, there have been almost incessant NATO military exercises with the anti-Russian scenarios in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Finland, as well as in the Baltic Sea. Finland and Baltic states, aside from being NATO members integrated into the Alliance’s nuclear planning, either joined or are planning to join the initiative of President Macron of France of the so-called “forward deterrence”, which provides for deployment of the French nuclear weapons on their territory (that is, on the Russia’s doorstep). Among all that, the joint Lithuanian, Polish, French military exercise “Gallant Boar 2026” stands out as specifically aimed at the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad at the coast of the Baltic Sea. There has been information that NATO is preparing air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad and Kaliningrad region.
This is not fiction, but matter of grave concern to Russia. The irresponsible and shortsighted European political elite is playing a dangerous game. As the Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said recently, if the West attacks us, we will respond and it would be completely different war and a very brief one. There should be no mistake – Russia would be ready to use all its arsenal, including nuclear weapons, to defend its territory if NATO countries try to isolate Kaliningrad region from the rest of the country. Under such scenario the risk of armed confrontation is high with the likelihood of Russia using preemptive strikes against centers of decision-making in the Alliance countries already at the early stage of the conflict.
It is a matter of utmost seriousness and should be treated by Europe as such.
Jeremy Corbyn didn’t wax lyrical about his dad. He focused on the issues that matter to people. He eschewed manufactured sentimentality and spoke passionately and objectively. And how they hated him for it. The real thing in a political world of fake, choreographed soundbites.
@UKLabour@andyburnham #LabourConference2026 @jeremycorbyn
These scenes are directly the result of @YvetteCooperMP, @DavidLammy and @Keir_Starmer’s complicity
They must never be allowed to escape accountability for charging grandparents and vicars as terrorists for opposing genocide. Shameful. Utterly shameful.
⭕️ This is shit journalism.
Why say he pleads not guilty to two attempted murders & in the next para say he also denied another attempt murder. Just say he pleaded not guilty to three attempted murders…
Don’t create a false narrative.
Report the facts.
Hey pensioners of Scotland, Remember when you were told your pension was safe if you voted no to independence. Well you're about to become poorer as they remove the triple lock to help pay for social care in England 😉 Happy retirement.
The residents here on the Garvaghy Road made it clear that the far right grifter @TheLiberal_ie is not welcome here. Anybody that donated to him should get a refund. None of that money is going towards the protest.
No going back. Please share.
I was dragged from a plane by armed Police in Romania, and deported for trying to tell you about the stolen election there
The EU/NATO installed regime, who stole that election, are now attempting to criminalise the rightful Romanian President @CG_Romania
Wake up Europe
