Burnham has blood on his hands - he's deployed the RAF to assist Saudi Arabia.
💢🇾🇪 Saudi airstrikes killed 21 children and 10 women in al-Sharya, a village in the Bani Hushaysh district east of Yemen's capital Sanaa, on Saturday afternoon. The death toll rose to 44 on Monday, with 40 wounded, according to Sanaa's Health Ministry. The strikes destroyed at least five homes, and warplanes carried out double-tap strikes on the roads leading to the village, hampering rescuers.
The attacks haven't let up. On Sunday, Saudi fire killed one person in Saada's Shada district and wounded six people across Saada and Taiz, including a girl. On Monday, strikes on homes in Taiz, Hodeidah, Saada and Sanaa killed two women and wounded 12 people, including six women and five children, the ministry said. In Hodeidah's al-Eisi neighborhood, raids destroyed seven homes, killing a woman and wounding her two daughters.

Well done @medialens
Providing the evidence of the deep Zionist Israel influence at the very heart of the BBC which undermines its credibility as a news outlet and destroys its claims of independence and moral fibre 👌
'BBC: The Would Say Files'
Vital analysis of @BBCNews from @newscord_org 👏
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too.
Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source:

The UK awarded £10.7m in NEW public contracts to firms linked to illegal israeli settlements, despite gov’t pledges to stop funding them aljazeera.com/news/2026/11/1…

Kuenssberg’s first post on X celebrating the publication of her book has received eight reposts from her 1.2 million followers in the first five days. Thus far, a single solitary reader has posted a one-star review on Amazon:
‘I could forgive it an element of popular style, if there were any style. I am about a third of the way though, and it is a penance. I was much looking forward to some insight , after the author’s long career, but this is just stream of consciousness stuff.’
The public response speaks volumes about the actual popularity of the safe pairs of hands that are promoted to the very highest levels of ‘mainstream’ media outreach.

Since no one in their right minds thinks that Trump’s war on Iran makes any sense, why doesn’t the UK Govt use this opportunity to end our role in it? Afterall the US is busy taking its planes away.. cbsnews.com/news/raf-mildenh…

Powell is asked about her role in setting up an interview between then Labour leader Ed Miliband & Russell Brand (Powell was Milibands chief of staff)
Powell says it was a long time ago, we weren't in the social media age & people didn't know about the allegations at that time

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.

'The UK government will not stand by.'
So why are you still arming and supporting the racist, genocidal apartheid state of Israel?

This is what happened when parliament debated Israeli influence in UK politics in June- speaker after speaker denouncing it as 'antisemitic'.
I have little optimism the debate about UK's role in the Gaza genocide will be any different.

This is a transcript of the parliamentary debate about the petition on ‘Israeli influence in UK politics’ that took place yesterday (22 June). There has been no media reporting of it anywhere that I can find.

Please help if you can.
The Municipality of Gaza's (@munigaza) emergency winter campaign has raised only $41k out of a target of $1m. It urgently needs more attention and donations. Please help: gaza-city.org/campaign/6

When my rapist was sentenced, his lawyer said it was in injustice that I had done well in life and that my rapist was just in love with me. So I took a disciplinary case against him and won. But I shouldn’t have had to fight so hard. The system should do the work, not survivors.

Unbearable.
Gaza screams for us to break the siege.
I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need.
I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies.
Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing.
Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah.
The victims have been identified as:
Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old
Reem Hossam al-Zain
Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain
Salah Nabhan, 7 years old
Mariam Nabhan
The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition.
The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel.
I hope everyone has heat in their homes.
