Isolate #Trumperikkka. Trump has revealed himself to be what we've always known. A President for hire security risk.

Wes Streeting said Ukrainians alone should be able to decide who leads their country as he indicated Trump was facing domestic political pressure over fuel prices before next month’s midterm elections.

@aral Guillotines. Sorted.

THE UK Government has almost trebled the number of arms exports licences covered under its partial embargo on Israel, it has emerged.

More than 80 licences for items that could be used by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza have been rejected, nearly three times as many as were covered when the limited ban was introduced in September 2024, The Jewish Chronicle reports.

@selzero Ridiculous!

@selzero Not keen on the container. 😁

I'd be more concerned about any Americans lurking in the bushes...or actually on the base.

“After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, the procurator fiscal decided that there should be no proceedings taken at this time.

“The Crown reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available.”

Shut up, you imbecile. That blank, passive stare you're getting is to hide his contempt.

UK Lawyers for Israel has demanded Shabana Mahmood proscribe the Nobel Peace Prize-winning charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), known in English as Doctors Without Borders, over alleged links to Palestinian militant groups.

The charity condemned "the intentional spread of false allegations".

It was a stroke of genius to dismiss two of your oldest muckers as mere contractors. After all, Dan Jukes had only been your right-hand fixer for 10 years and James Orr, the Cambridge professor of ethics – nice touch that – was your head of policy. Of course it was all “loose pub talk”. Everyone goes to the pub to discuss how they plan to break the law.

A top Israeli military prosecutor announced last month that he would not pursue criminal proceedings for the April 2024 incident in which drones fired missiles at three clearly marked World Central Kitchen cars soon after they had escorted a food aid delivery to Gaza. Three British humanitarian workers along with an Australian, a Palestinian, a Pole and a dual US-Canadian national were killed.

‘Guilt by association’.

@selzero Didn't understand any of that. 🤷♂️😁

Acid test for the #FriendsOfIsraelCabinet.

In a statement in response to Israel’s E1 settlement plan – which is illegal under international law – Ed Miliband said the UK would “not stand back and accept the destruction of the two-state solution”.

The E1 project would see around 3400 homes built on strategic Palestinian land, effectively dividing the West Bank in two. It is explicitly aimed at making a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict impossible.

Over time, as the dominant UK “partner”, England has long feasted on Scotland’s resources, while Scotland has picked at the crumbs that have fallen from Westminster’s table.

Hardly the “Better Together” campaign’s premise (lies) of Union “partnership”, is it?

EARLY in the Gaza genocide, left-wing activist and author Andrew Feinstein was asked on a podcast by a Palestinian journalist who had lost loved ones in an airstrike: “Who made the bomb that killed my family?”.

It’s the question he and colleagues at Shadow World Investigations have attempted to answer in the book Making A Killing: How The West Profits From Slaughter In Gaza And Yemen.

As the scale of the climate crisis grows, the national conversation about oil and gas continues to move in the wrong direction.

Too many politicians appear to be backing away from meaningful solutions, while others are actively advocating policies that risk making the problem worse.

The idea of expanding our reliance on fossil fuels feels not just outdated, but dangerously detached from reality.

Can't really blame them. Thanks, Andy.

Iran warned on Thursday that RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which the US is using alongside Chagos Island-based Diego Garcia to launch strikes on the country, could be targeted.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also blamed the British monarchy as the "main cause of the misfortunes of the people of our region".

Burnham has said his arrival in power will “bring back hope” to Britain as he launched his premiership with the surprise appointment of John Healey as chancellor and a promise to repair the damage caused to communities during the Thatcher era.

The new UK prime minister acknowledged people were “fed up” with politics as he addressed the country after taking over from Keir Starmer in Downing Street, saying the government needed to “do better” to deliver real change.

He can't be allowed to get away with this.

The Glasgow MSP said he would "really welcome" the opportunity to go on a walk of the city with the Scots Active group, which advocates for "mass deportations" and arming Scots against "invaders".

Scots Active, founded by Darren Docherty last year, is said to be inspired by the white supremacist "active clubs" seen in the US and Eastern Europe.
