Keir Starmer knew about Peter Mandelson’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, yet still disgracefully handed him one of the most powerful jobs in politics and later gave him a gold-plated payoff.

If the Prime Minister had any decency, he would resign.

Israel uses white phosphorous and cluster munitions on Lebanon, poisons the air of Tehran with burning oil fumes, bombs every school and hospital in Gaza, and all the media can talk about is liberating people from the Mullahs. When are we liberating the Middle East from Israel?

Women of Tehran liberated by fiery oil rain and carcinogenic smoke as their city burns In the greatest liberation since the US bombed a girls’ school, and bombed it again when rescuers arrived, the Epstein axis has bestowed the ultimate liberation on the women of Tehran.

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.

North Korea and Israel.

One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.

It isn't North Korea.

You're gonna need to sit down for this one, but the side that bombed every school in Gaza, and denied bombing the girl's school in Iran (blaming a misfired Iranian missile), has now admitted it did bomb the girls' school after all. Astonishingly, the cover story was a lie.

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes, And Other Notes Reading by Tim Foley:

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes

They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans.They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.

The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

"A mass funeral has been held in the southern Iranian city of Minab for 165 people killed in what's described as an attack on a girls school on Saturday"

All the Oil and Gas you buy is purchased 4 weeks in advance.

Any price increases now are your suppliers ripping you off.

Because you know when prices go down, they won't go down 4 weeks after.

It will be delayed months and months and months.

Gonna set fire to my neighbour's house because he is gonna set fire to my house. I have no evidence that he is gonna set fire to my house, but I'm doing a pre-emptive strike. BRB. If my neighbour retaliates, you must kill him for me. This is how self-defence works β™₯️
