Tony Blair appears to be deeply complicit in this monstrous plan of ethnic cleansing. That's the consequence of not holding him to account for his war cromes.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Yvette, I'm confused.
These planning proposals are by and large very bad. WTF is that roof extension all about? And I really hope that the council is going to knock back a *24 hectare* AI data centra. That's another WTAF from me. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/latest-...
For two years, we’ve been trying to survive hell. Two years of running, hiding, starving, and hoping. We lost our homes. We have lost our universities. We lost our sense of safety, and parts of our souls that may never heal…..:: 🙏💔 GFM : gofund.me/459d365f
It has been a long road back but there are some really excellent cheeses in Britain now.
Bluesky has found the main character for the day; an American who knows more about British food than British people.
It did cause significant damage, especially in local food production - like cheese - which got centralised and homogenised; but folks have been rebuilding now for generations. Still folks love tropes.
Help email, call, and pressure media to get this story out: tinyurl.com/FREETHOXHA
The family of T Hoxha, who is awaiting trial for allegedly taking part in a Palestine Action demonstration at Filton, have raised the alarm over her prison hunger strike at HMP Peterborough (now in its third week) over the authorities' denial of her basic rights observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
With the added electoral "strategy" bonus of squeezing out the Tories and giving the electorate the choice between Labour and Reform. It won't work but they're going to try it!
Not at hand, I think most of the available data is from the pilot; which was ended to early.
At least seven protesters have been killed, more than 700 arrested, and hundreds injured. However, footage has also emerged of police making hasty retreats away from advancing crowds and their projectiles. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/01/i...
But they think it is a really swell election strategy: destroy the Tories electorally and then tell folks they can vote Labour or Reform. It is inhumane and won't work but they're going to do it anyway.
It has taken a lot of work from Greens, trade unions and regular rail users to get to this point. We need to build on it with a focus on more and better connections and the best possible services across our country if we are to encourage people out of their cars and onto rail.
We're flying surveillance flights for Israel, training members of the IDF, selling them weaponry, suppressing dissent at home and there is very little from His Majesties loyal opposition. How the fuck has this happened?
Starmer is simply not the man to respond to this dangerous moment in history. Labour must get rid of him.
Just a reminder that Hamas is not a terrorist group. Some countries have enacted domestic political policies to declare them as such, but the international legal consensus is that they are a political movement fighting for liberation of their homeland from Israel, which is a legally occupying power.
Keep the pressure up!
An interesting development on Twitter dot com, where a Labour MP has spent the week angrily denying that she is part of Labour Friends of Israel, a group that her husband once led, and which says on its website that she’s affiliated with them.

Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI. He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'. But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.
Or flying surveillance for them, or training them...
SHUT IT DOWN! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Hopefully they might even stop training the Israeli occupation forces.
The Media want to encourage racism, they want to encourage violence, they want to spread hate Anything to distract from the real problem, their billionaire owners They are not your friends, they don't provide news, they don't even provide entertainment. It's a lie machine.

Cammy Day has slunk back into Edinburgh Council Cambers. Not a great look for Scottish Labour.
One million hectares have burned across the EU so far this year. Langdale Moor in North Yorkshire is on fire as we speak. And yet governments and the media continue to bury their heads. Only the Green Party has a plan to tackle climate breakdown and close the inequality gap.

Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.

I just don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the public should be worried when a former senior Labour MP, who famously helped General Augusto Pinochet evade facing trial for crimes against humanity including torture, argues that Britain should ‘decouple’ from the European Convention on Human Rights.
But what is Guardian doing to do?
Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵
Activists in Scotland are expected to defy the ban of Palestine Action in Edinburgh. Campaigners have said they will stand in solidarity with the Defend Our Juries campaign and their activists who will be taking "peaceful and courageous action” in London www.thenational.scot/news/2542367...

Wait Corbyn only got one despite being leader of the opposition for 5 years?! The state of THIS:
"The IDF never intentionally targets civilians" Like 5-year-old Hind Rajab who was shot at 100s of times Like the aid workers who were buries in mass graves. Like the babies left to rot in neonatal care. Like the first-responders who were double-tapped.
‘He loved his work deeply’: the five Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza airstrike
"One of the main problems with this conception of western journalists as the ultimate mediators of unbiased reporting is that it belittles the professionalism and courage of hundreds of Palestinian journalists," writes Mohamad Bazzi in this powerful piece www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again. Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime. Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing. All the war criminals must face justice.
Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them. But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.
Hind Rajab. 335 rounds fired into the car as she was pleading for help. IDF denials and CNN called a 5 year old child a “woman”
I never would have expected a headline like this to barely make news
The British media class has gone stark, raving mad. This is fascism. And they’re strolling into it, whistling.
When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive. But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right. Absolutely shameful.
I was too fucked up on painkillers to notice this when it happened. But fuck Dobson, I'm glad he's dead. He is one of the reasons America is in the situation it is in today.

Stop it. Don't start devaluing yourself because AI investors can't turn a profit without full societal leverage. Their externalities will come and bite you if you keep this up.
Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.
We scrapped peak rail fares in 2023 for 12 months. This saved workers money and helped keep private cars at home, but the SNP said it could never last. After pressure from Greens, Trade Unions, and commuters, peak rail fares will now be scrapped for good next week!
Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficking victim who accused the Duke of York of sex crimes, wrote an autobiography which will be published posthumously later this year. Giuffre claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke when she was 17. She died by suicide at the age of 41 in April.

One of the many reasons Woody Allen can fuck off.
Listening to "A History of Rock & Roll in 500 songs" podcast. He makes a very important point in it over and over again; rich white people like Lomax went out to record sophisticated black musicians but only recorded them playing simple music. Distorting the historic record of black American music.
Sister Rosetta that was just magnificent.
I like to remind people that Enoch Powell got fired by his Tory PM Ted Heath in 1968 and never had a cabinet position again, and the Times called it an “evil speech”. Now we get great replacement theory in the Times and politicians including Labour advocating for ethnic cleansing on a daily basis
My folks had some copies of Sardinian warrior figures when I was a kid. Not my fault I got into war games.
The correct answer.
Israel lies and lies and lies, it murdered journalists last week, it murdered journalists today, it will murder more tomorrow, it is starving 2m people to death. We don't need to hear anything out of Israel except their pleas in court.
I can see how that "strategic tie up" with AI companies is working fo you. Also the answer is no.

Stephen Miller pushed white nationalist conspiracy theories and publications that trafficked in claiming Black people were subhuman and the main cause of crime in "the West." Everything he's doing in DC, a majority Black city, needs to be seen in this context. itsgoingdown.org/what-you-nee...

Horrendously accurate by @bjennings90.bsky.social on Israel's targeted killings of five (more) Palestinian journalists today.
I keep seeing the Trump-Intel deal called socialism, but there’s a term for this. This parallels what Mussolini did—the Italian state was one of the world’s largest industrial owners while keeping private companies. Nazi Germany did this too. So did Francoist Spain. It’s called state corporatism.
Can’t get a much better quote than this piccalil.li/complete-css/
Amnesty said more than 10,000 civilian structures were destroyed by Israel – many of them after the ceasefire.
