Wow ! this from Donald Tusk !👇

'As we celebrate 20 years in the EU ... the World Bank forecasts income per capita will be higher in Poland than in the UK in 2025. I promise this: on the 25th anniversary, Poles will be wealthier than the British. It's better to be in the EU !'👇

This is horrific, because we know all too well what these monsters are capable of… I really hope and wish that we’re wrong…

Civilians in Suwayada have been peacefully protesting against Assad for 8 months, they did not crack down for their own benefit, the regime continued to…

Purely shameful that Z thugs feel free to express themselves in #Germany
- and shocking if it turns out they feel empowered to kill here.
If they murdered wounded Ukrainian veterans Germans need to wake up & act. The impunity must end.

Sick and twisted behaviour. And an unacceptable use of the civil service for political purposes. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

A nice demonstration of two things:

1) De-funding the police is bad, actually, and results in more crime, disproportionately harming the poor.

2) Short-term cost-saving exercises often end up resulting in negative impacts that cost far more to fix than they initially saved.

How TF did they sit around and agree that this could be a solution?

Brexit - stupid in itself. Stupid in the fixes needed to make it vaguely workable. Stupid in the self-harming denial of how very stupid it all is.

This is just humiliatingly shit.

How can a modern advanced country full of intelligent competent people end up with this ridiculous “solution” to the Brexit trade disaster? It’s a national embarrassment foisted on us by the flag-obsessed Brexit pretend-patriots.

His 'best week' involved once again threatening to deport people to an unsafe country; scaring 4 million people on disability benefit on the basis of a misunderstanding; and making an unfunded £20 billion spending pledge.

And didn't even have an impact on the polls.

The ideological story on the right over the last few decades is how Burkeian Conservatives have almost seamlessly evolved into Robespierrian destroyers

Elon Musk has now removed the option to hide your blue-tick, so we can now confirm that some of the most tedious human beings alive bought one, lied about it, then posted through it as if they didn’t have one while they were paying the richest man on earth for a status symbol.

The guy at Harvard who dragged a Tibetan American student out of a lecture given by the Chinese Ambassador is reportedly the son of a top Chinese Communist Party official in Sanya City, Hainan Province.

An Iranian court has issued a death sentence to the imprisoned popular rapper Toumaj Salehi on speech-related charges -- a cruel and outrageous assault on fundamental freedoms and the right to a fair trial. hrw.org/news/2024/04/2…

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen: the Post Office were fully aware from August 2015 that our @bbcpanorama whistleblower, Richard Roll, was saying that it was possible that people had gone to prison because of problems with Horizon.

And yet they carried on denying it…

Meanwhile in Syria, Assad's forces and Russia are bombing the vicinity of the city of Atarib in the countryside of Aleppo, Syria.

As a result of this bombing, there are innocent civilians injured.

While the world is busy, Assad, Putin, and Khamenei continue to commit crimes…

If you're the praying type, please keep Elizabeth & her family in your prayers.

Honestly odds are she would have been at one of these protests. She was a fountain of love & support for the Syrian's fighting Assad, a constant critic of the Israeli gov treatment of Palestinians,

@Munirawilson sets out Lib Dem plans to end no-fault evictions, boost housing supply and reform the planning system to ensure everyone has a secure place to call home. #BBCQT

402 days ago, Princeton University student Elizabeth Tsurkov🌻 was kidnapped by Kataib #Hezbollah in #Iraq .

On the 400 day anniversary, some fellow students chose to fly the #Hezbollah flag in 'solidarity' with #Gaza -- what utterly ignorant idiots.

You would think that the unredacted Russia Report would be a good tool for people to gauge the extent of malign Russian interference in the UK.

But we're no closer to seeing it.

Elizabeth Tsurkov is a PhD researcher at Princeton. She was kidnapped over a year ago by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq.

Yesterday, the flag of the sister organization of her kidnappers was raised at the Princeton protests.
