The problem wasn't really the negative campaign.

The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.

And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.

Let's have *that* conversation.

Corbyn's major flaw is that he is too one sided.
He's great at protest, no so much on the proactive stuff. There's his flaw and why he'd never be a good PM whatever policies he might have.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring β€œfreedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

No one in their right mind can dispute that the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was bad news for the region. But neither a Mossad black op nor American B-2 bombers will bring peace to the Middle East, or freedom to Iranians.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

One thing is clear.

Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

I was in Rotterdam whilst it was happening. I watched the UK media portray the conflict with a series of cartoons every evening. Not so the Dutch news that had pics of British troops not having a nice time, lots of snow and wind. Miserable conditions whilst the UK media were all "whooping what fun"!

No, it had a lot to do with a dodgy scrap metal deal, Pinochet's paranoia and his friendship, meeting of "minds" with The Mad Cow who definitely manipulated events to help her falling popularity.

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t WantΒ Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you'd think someone in the building might have flagged that suing a small independent magazine over unflattering-but-accurate reporting would only guarantee that millions more people read it. And yet, here we are. Palantir Technologies, the infamous surveillance and data analytics giant chaired by Peter Thiel, has…
