Respect to the Moroccan fans for bringing Palestine to Times Square, in the heart of America. AMAZING VIBES AND FANTASTIC FOOTBALL BY THEM🇲🇦

WHICH is ACTUALLY a graver threat to UK? 1. Russia 2. Mass poverty, poor infrastructure, society at breaking point 3. Climate crisis 4. State capture by billionaires and/or fascists 5. US (controlling our nukes & with multiple bases & with a grip on our politics)?

Full mathematical analysis of Australia's $900 Billion Tax system, and its 27 million people is still 2 months from completion. We can see why no one has ever done this before. But we have done the big numbers. Current results are looking pretty solid.. Calculating tax avoidance is the hard part.

“When Hugh Gaitskell failed in the 1960s to remove Clause Four from the Party Constitution, the vast majority of members believed that never again would such an attempt be made. Today, many find the arguments for "share ownership, acceptance of the "mixed economy" and a "market approach" reprehensible. Those in the leadership of our Party who seek these policy changes are just as guilty as Gaitskell was in trying to wipe out Clause Four and introduce an openly social-democrat type of party which would accept rather than change the capitalist society. I regard these aspects of the current policy review as classic examples of the influence of "New Realism", an influence confirmed by the Labour Party Leader when he said on 11th June that the only way to defeat Mrs Thatcher’s’Government Of Greed' was to embrace New Realism. But if our movement were to follow that advice it would be embracing a malignancy which will both bring electoral defeat and split the movement from top to bottom at a time when it should be uniting. It is time the Labour leadership stopped moulding policy to suit the flavour of the day and the result of the latest opinion poll. it is time for a return to the socialist principles upon which our movement was founded. The battle cry of Keir Hardie in calling for the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange is as relevant today as it was when it was first made. It is time for our movement to stop looking inward, and to start fighting the common enemy.” Arthur Scargill, June 1988.

Powerful video on the Banksy painting. While @Keir_Starmer’s government uses the law to treat protestors as terrorists, he had no issues meeting Isaac Herzdog from Israel, a man who said the entire nation of Gaza was responsible. Sickening! #Banksy

Tomorrow’s paper! This is utterly ridiculous! Every bloody day we get the same - Burnham today, Hunt tomorrow. Acting like they can slash the safety net that keeps us all safe willy nilly with invented jobs for suddenly cured conditions under the phantasy work is therapy.

RT @rachelmillward: Just in case anyone still wondering why I don't leave my comments open to all...

Once worked in Germany, but over recent years unemployment has worsened. A lot of R&D is orientated to worker replacement. The myth that there's always a higher technological plateau for mass labour to climb onto fell apart in the UK 40 years ago. Most fell from secure industrial work into insecure, low-paid service work and a large pool of 'working poor' returned.

Well, no surprise to find soulless ghouls who celebrate 70-100,000 living bodies torn apart by bombs and bullets in Gaza also celebrating people getting longer prison sentences.

The Filton 4 are not terrorists

The President of Palestine's football association has been banned from attending the World Cup. He refused to shake hands with Israel's rep 6 weeks ago when Infantino tried to force him, instead shouting out "We are suffering" Now the racist genocide supporters have banned him

There are lots of people on here drinking the security services Kool Aid over the sentencing of the Filton Four. They believe the judge was right to overturn the jury's decision to convict four anti-genocide activists of criminal damage and make it a terrorism offence instead, overturning centuries of legal precedent. Why? Because, they claim, the four activists broke / smashed / shattered a police woman's spine. But that obviously can't be the explanation because three of the activists had nothing to do with that incident and yet they were convicted as terrorists by the judge anyway. Even Samuel Corner, the activist who was convicted over this incident (which left the police woman with a minor fracture, according to the medical authorities who testified), shouldn't have been sentenced as a terrorist for it because that is not what the jury, which heard the actual evidence, decided. The jury convicted Samuel Corner of grievous bodily harm *without intent*. The prosecution had charged him with GBH *with intent* because they needed that as his conviction to build a public mood in support of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. If Corner could be presented as having entered Israel's Elbit weapons factory with intent to commit violence, then the implication would be that the other activists were in on that plan – a conspiracy – and the government would be off the hook of violating fundamental legal norms by proscribing Palestine Action. By stripping out intent, the jury pulled the rug from under the government's feet. Judge Johnson's task was put the rug firmly back in place by riding roughshod over the jury's decision and sentencing them as terrorists anyway. The timing couldn't be more convenient. On Monday, the Appeal Court will be deciding on the government's appeal against the High Court declaring its proscription of Palestine Action unlawful. If you're peddling the "But they smashed the back of a police woman" line you've been fed by the Daily Mail and BBC, it's because that is exactly what the government needs you spouting as it upends our age-old rights to jury trials, as it stamps out an honourable tradition of direct action dating back to the Suffragettes and before, and as it gives itself cover for continuing complicity in a genocide. Stop being a cuck. Don't fall for this psy-op.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m starting to think he doesn’t like Black people.

Nigel Farage explicitly and repeatedly claimed in late 2024 and early 2025 interviews (after his election as MP for Clacton) that he had bought a house in Clacton. To Sky News (November 2024): “I’ve just exchanged contracts on the house that I’ll be living there in – is that good enough?… I’ve bought a house in Clacton. What more do you want me to do?” To LBC (January 2025): He stated he had bought a house in Clacton, adding details about being seen out shopping locally. The truth, widely reported in the 'mainstream media', is that the £885,000–£900,000 detached house in Frinton-on-Sea (part of the Clacton constituency) was purchased outright in November 2024 solely in the name of his partner, Laure Ferrari. Land Registry documents list her as the sole owner; Farage has no legal or financial stake in it. In September 2025, after the discrepancy was highlighted, Farage admitted he was wrong to phrase it that way. Phrase it that way? This was not media distortion of his words—the claims he made are on record in multiple interviews, and he later acknowledged the inaccuracy. He lied. Repeatedly. And now the pathetic coward is hiding from scrutiny and accountability. Here are several documented cases where Nigel Farage made claims that were proven false, misleading, or which he later admitted were wrong (beyond the Clacton house example). all of which the 'mainstream media' highlighted: 1. £350 million a week to the #NHS Farage and the Leave campaign prominently featured the claim that the UK sent £350m a week to the EU, which could go to the NHS instead (on the famous battle bus and posters). Reality: This was the gross figure before the UK rebate and other receipts; the net was around £250m or less. Post-referendum, Farage distanced himself, calling it “a mistake” and saying “I would never have made that claim.” He noted it wasn’t his advert but had not openly condemned it during the campaign 2. Migrants eating swans in Royal Parks (2025) Farage claimed on LBC that “swans were being eaten in Royal Parks” and carp taken from ponds by migrants from “different cultures.” Reality: The Royal Parks authority stated there were no reported incidents of people killing or eating swans in the eight Royal Parks. Police and fact-checkers found no supporting evidence for the specific claim. 3. Shoplifting up to £200 goes unpunished (repeated, e.g. 2024–2025) Farage claimed you can shoplift up to £200 before prosecution. Reality: False. There is no such £200 threshold; prosecutions occur for far smaller amounts, and police/courts have handled many cases below that figure. 4. 2.4 million people “settled” in the UK in two years (2024) Farage stated 2.4 million had settled. Reality: Gross arrivals were around that, but many were temporary (students, workers on contracts). Net migration was far lower. Not all “settled.” 5. Local election candidates shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “we are coming to get you” (2024) Farage claimed this happened in Leeds, Burnley, Bradford, etc. Reality: One candidate in Leeds did say “Allahu Akbar” (a common celebratory phrase) and made Gaza comments (later apologised for). No evidence for the other locations or the “we are coming to get you” threat. 6. Crime statistics: Farage has repeatedly claimed police-recorded crime shows rises contradicting official falls; fact-checks often note selective use or context missing (e.g., reporting changes, post-pandemic effects). 7. Immigration/economy claims: Multiple fact-checks on net migration impacts, housing needs, and economic comparisons to the EU have been rated misleading or false in presentation.

The revolving door of official corruption is dizzying. It is important to hold on tight and expose it: Samantha Jones was head of Operose, the US Centene corporation’s UK body that bought dozens of GP practices in 2021. Boris Johnson appointed her chief operating officer in his Downing St team in 2022. Then back to the private sector, with multiple interests including director of Keys Group, the second largest owner of children’s homes. They hiked their charges by 10% in 2024/5 in a private sector that charges for a care place several times the £63,298 pupil fees for a place at Eton! She flew out of the revolving door at the invitation of Streeting in 2025 when all this was known, to become permanent secretary to the Dept of Health & Social Care. The links now exposed - between public servants, consultancies who advise both Palantir and government at the same time - stink of legal corruption. The stables must be swept clean, unethical links exposed, the Palantir contract ended and a change of direction established to invest wholly and ethically in the publicly provided #NHS. #NHScrisis #RevolvingDoorSleaze @keepnhspublic morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…

Jasbir Puar argues modern power often works through debility rather than outright death. Instead of killing populations, political and economic systems may leave people alive but exhausted, injured, traumatised, precarious, or chronically managing impairment. Facts.
