'Killing all the right people', he says with a smile.

There's so much to unpack in the words of the Israeli Defense Minister here... the use of "blood libel" to describe specific actions caught on camera by specific IDF soldiers, and his open admission that the IDF legal system is designed to protect IDF soldiers, not prosecute them where necessary.

Before the Holyrood elections in May, it would be good if someone in the media could ask the other party leaders if they plan to hand Scottish NHS contracts, etc, over to Palantir if they win.

I think it's important that we know.

Great news! Following the successful pilot for free rail travel for companions accompanying blind National Entitlement plus one cardholders, this week the Scottish Government have confirmed that the scheme will be made permanent from 1st April.

Not much outrage about this in Western media. If things were reversed, it would be front page news.

Israel actively arming illegal settlers while condemning Hezbolla and Hamas Israel has just allowed ONLY Jewish settlers in historic Palestine to arm themselves - but insists that Hamas and Hezbollah must give up arms

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Even for them this is beyond embarrassing. I'm sorry you've never heard of Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Wolf Alice, you fucking weirdos

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.

Looks like someone in the White House made billions.

When asked why his party are putting up council tax when their leaflets said they wouldn't increase taxes, Farage replied

'Well cutting taxes could mean not putting them up as much'

Whenever he gets a bit of scruting he either falls to pieces like here, or he gets aggressive & starts shouting.

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...🧡

Keir Starmer's office still has the gall to refer to checks carried out on Peter Mandelson as 'due diligence!' πŸ˜‚

Peter Mandelson threatened legal action without Β£500k severance after being sacked The first tranche of the so-called 'Mandelson files' have been published, revealing the disgraced peer threatened legal action after his sacking as…

'The files show that Mandelson asked for the remainder of his contract to be paid up, which would have amounted to Β£547,201.'

There's no limit to the greed of these people. This is tax payer money he was demanding.

The financial burden families face when they can’t afford school meals is real.

I’m proud the Scottish Government has wiped out nearly Β£3 million of school meal debt across Scotland - including over Β£400,000 in Aberdeen City - helping families and removing stigma for children.

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?

To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics

The warnings are there for us all to see
