🚨 BOMBSHELL! Fox News confirms a diplomat explicitly accuses Israel of sabotaging the historic peace deal. The Zionist regime deliberately bombed Beirut to derail it! Trump is paralyzed. Iran vows severe retaliation. Washington is held hostage by a rogue state.

This is loyalism, this is the right wing, this is fascism! Any Irish person who stands with them, remember they have consistently burnt out Irish citizens since the inception of the 6 county state, and they will be burning our country's flag on their bonfires in a cple of weeks!

Maybe someone could coordinate social media tweets on why Wes Streeting would be the worst choice for Labour PM. Keep it civil, factual, consistent, and make it real. Mainstream media may not hold him to account, but all of us - we can.

So typical of a Labour Together stitch up. Run Starmer under a false flag radicalism. Ditch him once the bubble bursts. Then run your true believer. But within 30 seconds the Right will brand Wes as ‘Mandelson’s mate’ and Labour will get stuffed again bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c172…

Musical chairs on the Titanic. When it’s the economics that are wrong, changing Leaders changes little.
Laura Kuenssberg, "Catherine, you are directly calling on the Cabinet to move against Keir Starmer, one of them is here, Bridget Phillipson, what's your message to her?" Catherine West, "There's nothing stopping Bridget from standing. Why are all the men better than the women?" "We need some senior women to step forward and challenge what will be a really difficult two and half years between now and the general election, and to take us into that second term" Bridget Phillipson, "I love you dearly Catherine but I disagree with you on this one"

🇺🇸 v 🇪🇺 food Listen to what this American says about what a US trade deal really means for our food and health. While talking about “reset” with Europe… Starmer’s government is opening the door to US 🇺🇸 standards. That’s how they’re trying to make Brexit work.
☠️ Chlorinated chicken ⚠️ !!! FOI reveals Starmer’s govt is actively discussing accepting chlorinated chicken and lower US food standards as part of trade talks with Trump. This is the real cost of the Mandelson strategy: using elite networking to chase US deals while selling out British farming, food security, and higher standards. The Atlanticist lift continues, British farmers and consumers pay the price. If chlorinated chicken comes into the UK, it doesn’t just change what’s on our plates, it destabilises Northern Ireland. Because NI is legally tied to EU standards, while Britain is drifting toward US ones. This is a system tearing itself in two. theguardian.com/world/2026/a…

UK Jewish MP: "Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza" "Israel was born out of Jewish Terrorism - Tzipi Livni's Father was a Terrorist" Astonishing claims in the House of Parliament. SIR Gerald Kaufman, the veteran Labour MP, compared the actions of Israeli troops in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland. During a Commons debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel. Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said: "My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed. "My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians." He said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants." He accused the Israeli government of seeking "conquest" and added: "They are not simply war criminals, they are fools." This was in 2009 when the truth could still be spoken in the UK Parliament

John McDonnell, "What we've seen is No 10 overriding, interfering, pressurising civil servants, we can't go on like this" "Keir Starmer's office controls everything, he wasn't listening to any of us" "As soon as Mandelson's name came into the frame I told Keir Starmer if you appoint this person, people will think you've lost all sense of judgment" "Keir Starmer never listened, what happened McSweeney took control" "No leader should allow that to happen"

WAKE UP! Oil is coming from the Gulf 1. In tankers whose nations have declared neutrality, and 2. With oil that is traded in yuan (not dollars). Trump has told us we are on our own, so why not put peace (and the public) before warmongering?
Reaction of different countries to 🇺🇸 Trump Threats against 🇮🇷 Iran war — 🇪🇸 Spain — Shut the US bases & denied using Spanish airspace 🔥 🇮🇹 Italy — Refused to join the war, denied permission to US aircrafts to land 🇬🇧 UK — Refused to join the war, now trolling Trump every day 🤣 🇩🇪 Germany — Considering to shut US bases & send 50,000 US troops home 🇫🇷 France — Refused to join Trump 🇮🇸 Iceland — Fighting genocidal case against Israel at ICJ 🔥 It all started with one man who showed SPINE since day one, now most of the countries are falling in line Remember the name — 🇪🇸 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez 🫡
