How can Starmer have allowed us to be drawn into this war of aggression by the US and Israel?

Without any legal justification or debate in Parliament!

A shockingly bad decision

It's time to abolish the Monarchy.

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it.
But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy.
Both present major threats to public life.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title โ€œEpsteinโ€ is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the worldโ€™s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of Franceโ€™s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.

There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

My family make fun of me when walking along the beach as Iโ€™m always on the look out for what the tide is doing! But I grew up along the Bristol Channel so Iโ€™m always half expecting it to do something dramatic.

Misunderstanding the tide puts millions at risk Tidal literacy is a matter of life and death. But many people do not understand tides, and many only survive because of the rescue services

Most people cut off by the tide werenโ€™t swimming โ€” they were walking dogs, exploring rock pools, or taking photos. Stay aware of what the waterโ€™s doing, even on dry land.

Our dog used to be terrified -now sheโ€™s gone deaf and doesnโ€™t notice! I wouldnโ€™t ban fireworks - loved them as a child and so did my son - but I wish they just happened on 5th (so pet owners could prepare) rather than over such a long period these days.

Nothing prepared me for the child poverty I see in Britain. Novemberโ€™s budget can and must halt its inexorable rise | Gordon Brown Homes without heating, bedrooms without beds.

Lewis Goodall, "This is Elon Musk, turning up at a far right rally, basically inciting violence in this country"

"Most people in this country have no desire to go there, or look at it, or have any interest in that sort of rhetoric"

"And yet, we are being pushed and pushed and pushed towards it"

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

'Scale of unite the kingdom march shows free speech alive and well in UK, says minister

This is, I believe, the first official word from the Government on what happened yesterday in London. Not only inaction in the face of violence and hate, but a celebration of it. I passed through London twice yesterday with my two kids & what Labour seem to be missing is that people aren't just...

Hardly โ€œwellโ€, Peter Kyle.

Get a bloody grip @labouruk.bsky.social

You have a massive majority. Keep pandering to the Tories and ReFuk. And, guess what? They donโ€™t like you any better for it.

Meanwhile you are squandering the votes of those who would customarily support you.

IDIOTIC.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

Elon Musk calls for the dissolution of the UK Parliament at a far-right rally

Yet many right-thinking people still use his X platform

Which he uses explicitly to turbo-charge fascism

Just say no!
