Jess Phillips is asked why, as the minister for violence against women & girls, she voted against an amendment to exclude sexual offenders from early release. "Because there is a prisons crisis" Got to free the rapists to make room for people who oppose genocide, I guess.
Helen O'Sullivan, a grandmother and member of the Gaza Flotilla, was arrested yesterday in Brisbane under the Qld LNP's draconian anti-free speech laws. Solidarity with Helen and everyone else charged for opposing Israel's genocide and fighting for Palestinian freedom.
They convinced you that 20 days holiday a year is generous. That working until you're 67 is normal. That one full time job just isn't enough to actually live on. They're making you slaves so they can have 3 castles, 8 yachts and a spaceship.
Zack Polanski has been cleared of dodging any Council Tax. Dan Neidle, Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Daily Mail, Telegraph, GB News... Where is the apology?
Switzerland did it. France have done it. It's time to get the US/Israeli Spy Agency Palantir out of Europe.

Whut story❓ This exposé of Thales-owned Australian Munitions that manufactures explosives for Israel in Victorian factories, transports it under cover of night in unmarked vehicles, ships it from 🇦🇺 ports, & obscures it's origins & final destination by trading it via arms dealing ops in Singapore⁉️
Australia is manufacturing explosives for Israel’s atrocities - The Shot
Australia’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities has many ugly layers. It’s worse than the bomb release mechanism on the F-35 death...

David Milner@davemilbo.bsky.social · 2mo agoA few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

Private Eye Magazine@privateeyenews.bsky.social · 2mo agoCommercial terms agreed in principle for a new data centre on the south bank of the River Tees show how the publicly funded regeneration of one of the UK’s most deprived regions has turned into a half-a-billion-pounds-plus enrichment scheme for a couple of local businessmen.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me there has been "no change" to the Government's policy on using X, despite Elon Musk helping to incite the hateful scenes we saw in Belfast last night. Also no new plans to take action against X for its role in the violence
A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.
Cuba has better Healthcare than the US. Better education. Longer lifespan. Lower crime. Fewer infant deaths. Lower deaths from preventable diseases. Higher home ownership. They are happier. They have managed this even with a 60 year blockade. Cuba needs to save the US.
A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.
Timothy Snyder does a perfect job describing American foreign policy in just 53 seconds! This is so spot on, what an embarrassment the "baby in the bulldozer" is. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #Pinks #ProudBlue

For 137 years, the Eiffel Tower honored 72 male scientists in gold lettering. Not one woman was included. Now Paris is adding the names of 72 women scientists to finally correct that history. Brilliant minds were always there. History just failed to recognize them. #SheShed
4% of Labour Party members pick Wes Streeting as their first choice for Labour leader
The SNP have won a larger share of the vote than the Tories when they imposed the EU Referendum upon us. That was determined to be an uninpeachable mandate for Brexit, & the only true expression of the "Voice of the People". Notice the inherent hypocrisy represented by the "Mother of Democracy"?
