Israel just shut down Al Jazeera and raided its offices. Journalism like this is the reason why:

Israel's banning of Al Jazeera is one aspect of its War On Truth. It aims at preventing Israelis from knowing that what goes on in Gaza, in their name, which is no self defence but an all out massacre. An industrial strength pogrom. Genocide. The West's determination to aid & abet Israel is a clear and present danger to freedoms and rights in our own communities. We need to rise up to defend them. In israel, in our countries, everywhere!

This is brilliant from @PoliticsJOE_UK @swedemason @Jason_Spacey Sunak, Cameron, Kwarteng, Hunt, Johnson... "We belong in power And we were born to rule A sense of entitlement forged in the playground Of public school...." #LocalElections2024

Rishi Sunak says no-one wants an Election, RT if you do. He's afraid of an Election, because he will lose.

American police firing on unarmed peaceful students protesting against the indiscriminate murder of thousands of children. This is the real face of America and it is ugly, rancid, brutal and authoritarian. The US is a cesspit of hypocrisy, racism and violence 😡😡😡😡
Footage has emerged of the LAPD shooting rubber coated steel bullets at pro-Palestinian student protestors at UCLA last night.

FFS... An already atrocious situation is even worse than we all feared. If this report is robust, and I have no reason to believe it isn't, it confirms beyond any millimetre of a doubt that the Israeli state & armed forces are inhumane. They are monsters. Rancid, noxious killers.
Children buried alive! Fucking buried alive! How many more Sunak / Starmer is enough? You cowardly bastards 🤬🤬🤬

Children in Gaza are so hungry they are eating animal feed to stay alive. This is what our political leaders have normalised with their silence. A ceasefire is a basic demand to stop people dying — and should be made by anyone who believes in the equal value of human life.

BBC Scotland has defended Kaye Adams' shocking comments, claiming they were taken out of context. She wasn't taken out of context. We posted an extended clip of the exchange proving she wasn't. Adams became increasingly annoyed, lost control momentarily and exposed her own anti-SNP bias with the appalling remark.
Here is the full exchange containing the Kaye Adams "not human beings" remark. Her position as co-host of the Radio Scotland morning phone-in show must surely be untenable.

Mass protests have been happening all over the world as more and more people show their anger against loss of freedoms, controlling governments and the cost of living crisis. But governments and legacy media outlets continue to turn a blind eye. People power is their fear.

The UK government’s continued refusal to call for an immediate ceasefire is an utter disgrace — and amounts to complicity in the massacre of the Palestinian people.

Read @robertnpalmer, Tax Justice UK's Executive Director's thread below 👇 xitter.gq/robertnpalmer/status/1…
2024 will be a big year for tax justice. Politicians will argue about which taxes to cut. While public services are on a downward spiral and the cost of living crisis still bites. Things need to change. 1/

Scotland is becoming the most successful country on these islands. It’s the job of this person and his team to stop Scotland from being successful as it will increase the yes vote. England cannot survive without Scotland’s cash.!

We haven’t sunk to this because this isn’t actually what happened.
A man is taken away by British police for carrying a Union Jack flag whilst the hordes march for a foreign war. How have we sunk to this?

The PR company Michelle Mone paid to "rescue her image" has dropped her!! Here's some free PR advice ⏬ 1. Pay back the money you've taken as a Pandemic Profiteer. 2. Say you're sorry 3. Give a multi million pound donation to an NHS Charity on top. Cos only that could even begin to rescue your image. RT if you agree

Today saw another disastrous Tory budget for people and planet. More cuts and sanctions on the most vulnerable, to fund tax relief for the rich. Scotland can do so much better. 👇
