Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies Communities displaced and destroyed while death toll rises faster than during any previous war in Lebanon For Batoul Hamdan and her two children, seven-month-old Fatima and Jihad, three, Monday’s iftar, the evening meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan, was special. For a week, they had eaten to the sounds of bombs in their home in Arab Salim. Hamdan eventually decided to leave for Al-Nimiriya, the sleepy town where she had grown up.

Former teachers. Friends. Colleagues.

All being called by the press - even having people turn up at their homes - desperately trying to dig up & create stories.

The billionaire class are scared of this movement.

I apologise i was not familiar with your history. I agree c section targets are ridiculous but I also suspect this will be dropped by the greens in the next election.

Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director.

Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump Mood among some in Iran shifts from hope of being rescued to dismay at destruction of infrastructure, culture and lives

many others in the anti-regime movement are hearing reports of newborn babies being killed by the US and Israeli strikes, and conclude simply that now three governments, rather than one, are killing Iranians.

773 people killed in Lebanon so far, including 18 paramedics.

The pattern is familiar.
The silence, once again, is familiar too.

If I were you I'd concentrate on getting Palantir out of the NHS rather than manufacturing outrage about something a future manifesto that hasn't been written yet.

This reminds me of the IPSO ruling against the Telegraph for their made up story about a wealthy family who emigrated over Vat on school fees. Absolutely no teeth. Useless

What does Israel have on Trump?
Perhaps the Epstein files will tell us.

Daily Mail Headline:

Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

"There you have it, in black and white. The PM, Keir Starmer, warned in the clearest possible terms that Peter Mandelson maintained his relationship [with Epstein] after the conviction.. there is no escape from this"

Trevor Phillips is on Times Radio at the moment presenting its lunchtime show and talking about the imminent release of the Mandelson files. He’s not mentioned that Peter Mandelson has been his friend for many years and was best man at his first wedding.

They’re doing the Gaza playbook.

Remember the first Hospital the IOF bombed? They pointed fingers and deflected until the media stopped talking about it. Then they just kept bombing hospitals.

That’s going to be what the US does with schools in Iran.

The speaker making the mother of the house Diane Abbott Bob up and down to ask a question for over 45 minutes is very disrespectful and uncalled for. #PMqs
