This is so weird. Starmer made a huge mistake which put the UK at risk. It's about corruption, traitors, blackmail, bribery.
Starmer seems to think it's about the children used for the sex trafficking ring.
He doesn't understand what Mandelson was doing, why he was a risk or what he was a risk to?

This will finish Labour. I was already done with them. Reform and the Conservatives would have been no different. We deserve better as a country. The ties that disgrace us need cutting.

Israel dictating the political agenda of Western so called democracies is a huge problem too. We have all woken up to it. It cannot be unseen.

I wish the US had a mechanism to impeach their demented , evil, President immediately and arrest those for enabling war crimes and corruption. It's quite unbelievable Trump was allowed to stand in the first place. Once this is over they need to make sure this changes so this never happens again.

War creates refugees. The same men who are racist and anti migration cause these wars, causing chaos , destruction and killing innocent children. When it's them who have always been the problem.

Letting lobbyists dictate the agenda so openly has been awful. And now we have been dragged into this illegal Israeli and Trump war no one wants.

Starmer cannot be believed on anything as he is a political shape shifter and opportunist ,only u turning or changing position because of the pursuit of power. It's not the leadership anyone voted for.

Being on the wrong side of history with Gaza was absolutely shocking.

I think Labour has miscalculated how angry we all are. Their pitiful subservience to Israeli lobbyists and the US regime has been awful. Their authoritarianism and policies have made the UK weaker and our standard of living poorer. Veering further right has been no coincidence, it's truly over.

It's always been about control. But now it's their ability to profit out of disaster capitalism too. No coincidence private equity owns our water, energy, supermarkets, and these lobbyists push for further privatisation of our health and social care, to make us pay more. We pay more to live.

1/ Experts issued some pretty dire warnings about Trumpian tariffs and Brexit, and the result was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Now they're issuing dire warnings about Iran.

A much smarter friend asked me how I was thinking about the difference.

My short answer: control.

The pursuit of power and incessant greed has been huge for years and years. I think we see it even more now. What's worse is their new threat, trying to control the way we live and digitalising our lives, using our data as currency. That's where we are now. It's no coincidence.

12.03.2026 10:21 ๐Ÿ‘ 9 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

And there lies the problem ,the evil combination of power in the wrong hands, a threat to humanity and our world.

The world cannot unsee the lies and violence, and what they have done cannot be forgotten. It will eventually catch up with them , as they have shown how truly evil they are. Just like Hitler did.

I truly believe Karma comes for those who commit such evil and atrocities. If all they have is hate and destruction imagine how rotten that person must be inside Love never dies and those that live not to hate but love diversity and the cultural richness of our world are so much happier.

Trump is just another Netanyahu puppet. Lest we forget the destruction Bibi left already in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza and the power that has infiltrated Western democracies and Institutions, causing some Governments trying to make criticising Israel a problem or illegal. But we cannot unsee Gaza.

Hundreds of GPs tell BBC they have never refused a sick note over mental health concerns The number of fit notes issued has been rising, with more than 11.2m approved in England last year.

Morning all
Since when was the UK gov't medically qualified to determine who is mentally fit for work or not? Interventions?! Changing rules?!
Do they want folks to be fired for under-performing? Or worse, endangering colleagues/customers?

Is the BiBiC narrative on Israel finally changing?
#R4Today explicitly pointing out that attacks by West Bank settlers have stepped up since Trump's illegal war on Iran began. Also covering the decimation of Beirut (again) by Israel.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.
