67,000+ people signed this petition, demanding an end to our country's complicity in the death & suffering of Palestinians

You take our money, you pay yourselves grotesque salaries & bonuses and you give your largely foreign corporate & state shareholders monstrous dividends and all we get is more crap in our rivers and higher bills! Gangster capitalism! ft.com/content/c3cdfe…

My exchange with the U.N. Secretary General marking the heartbreaking milestone of one year since hostilities between two military factions (SAF & RSF) started in Sudan, leading to a massive humanitarian emergency

The surface is covered with thick algae. Possibly as a result of all of the sewage poured into it by the privatised, rip off, water companies. Here's hoping that they don't fall in.

James Callaghan was smart enough to know that he needed economic lessons. Starmer needs very basic lessons in international relations because he is just embarassing.

The rest of the World will note that for 6 months Britain has done absolutely nothing to protect the lives of innocent civilians in Gaza. As soon as civilian lives in Israel come under threat because of Netanyahu's provocations, Britain mobilises the RAF. Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP

Although ⁦South Downs National Park⁩ are seemingly trying to pretend their national park is in pristine condition and the epitome of beauty. Sadly, it isn’t. They are afflicted by Britain’s litter epidemic just like everywhere else across the country. ⁦Ruth Gallagher

Preparing to go to 'the region'. First stop, Jordan.
I continue to seek access to the occupied Palestinian territory, in line with my UN mandate and procedures.

Feels a bit grubby receiving thanks for our military support from the ambassador of a country that’s being accused of genocide.

My late father served in the British Army. He would no more have supported a genocidal government in Israel than the vast majority of us who didn't serve, do. We weren't asked if our boys could be hired out in this way by a used car dealer, turned Defence Secretary

British imperial overreach provided some lessons? There was Britain's overthrow of Mossadeq & Britain's give-away of Palestine in the face of continued terror attacks from the Irgun and Stern Gang (some of whose members - Begin & Shamir - went on to become PM).

If there is 'imperial overplay' by Iran - whom may it recently have learned its lessons from? The UK perhaps, as with the toppling of Mossadeq? And Israeli imperialism? What of that? Its settler colonialism is aimed at driving Palestinians out altogether.

This would appear to be a terrible attack on a bishop from the Assyrian Church of the East. As if this ancient branch of the church hasn't suffered enough over recent decades. uk.news.yahoo.com/sydney-rocked-…

Europe & Russia needs the reverse. We want peace makers not war mongers. Arms races tend to lead to more wars. Even a war to end all wars.
