Watson has to be one of the slimiest, most obnoxious, obviously politically corrupt and least appealing of all the parasites lurking in the bowels of our stinking, rotten state…

Me on why we must call out the ‘war with Russia’ scare for what it is.
Pure propaganda…

No rent controls under Burnham so everyone is going to get poorer year on year

UPDATE: The Central Elections Committee DECLINED Likud's request to extend voting hours.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party said that it sent a petition to extend voting hours beyond 10 P.M.
His request was joined by right-wing party Amcha Israel and ultra-Orthodox Shas.

Sorry, it is absolutely absurd for Momentum to be actively championing the leadership of a non-SCG leader who has made zero overtures to the left, appointed zero socialists to cabinet and largely retained the Starmerite machinery. Am I missing something?
Burnham has laid out a bold vision for Britain. Now, we must turn his vision into action.
Socialists are already organising across our movement. But we need you.
It’s time for a socialist Labour Party ready to deliver change.

Netanyahu and his allies are claiming Arab voters and left-wing parties are trying to "steal the election." @AmnonHarari's afternoon breakdown shows the surge is not limited to Arab communities. Turnout in Rosh Ha'ayin (that's Gal Gadot's hometown) is at 60.3 percent, the West Bank settlement of Efrat (a Ben-Gvir and Smotrich stronghold) is at 59.9 percent, Ness Ziona (99.9 percent Jewish) is at 59.3 percent and southern Israel's Netivot (traditionally a Shas-voting town) is at 56 percent. These figures are well above the national average at this hour haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…

"My daughter caught measles when she was seven. I remember not feeling particularly alarmed about it.
Then one morning she said, 'I feel all sleepy,' and she went into a coma. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead."

Don’t fall for the fear campaign...what is MEASLES?...a fever, a cough, a rash, runny eyes & runny nose.
-Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
"The measles vaccine came out in 1963. In 1962, the death rate from measles was two in a million.”
"So it was not even deadly BEFORE we had a vaccine."
IF YOU FEAR MEASLES...
You must not know that even in the 60s, before the vaccine, the survival rate was over 99.9%.
You must not know that the MMR is a live virus vaccine & can cause measles.
You must not know that the MMR vaccine is linked to 2,657% MORE DEATHS than measles since 1995.
You must not know that it's a very mild childhood illness for well-nourished children.
You must not know that natural measles infection provides lifelong immunity, unlike the vaccine.
You must not know that there are huge lifelong health benefits to getting measles, including a lower risk of cancer, lower risk of heart disease & stronger immune resilience.
You must not know that the MMR insert lists over 60 serious adverse events, ranging from encephalitis, seizures & death.
You must not know that studies show Vitamin A drastically reduces measles complications-yet public health officials ignore it.

The UK has experienced the equivalent of 13 years’ worth of ‘normal’ inflation in five years.
And the UK has been hit harder by the cost of living crisis than elsewhere.

A video has been shared on social media with claims it shows a “lifeless body” being dragged behind a golf cart.
But the clip, which has been taken from a longer version shared in 2025, actually shows a dead goat.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in several posts on X of "mass voter turnout figures in Arab communities," claiming that "buses are leaving for polling stations in Arab communities" – reviving a scare campaign dating back to 2015, when he warned that Arab Israelis were voting "in droves."
On Tuesday, Netanyahu again wrote while claiming high Arab turnout: "This is an emergency. The future of the Jewish state is at stake!" | Jonathan Lis
