Keir Starmer says when it comes to responding to Trump's tariffs, "all options are on the table." Everything from 'keeping quiet', to 'doing nothing', to 'keeping quiet and doing nothing'

Last night's BBC News dwelt at enormous length on the suffering of Israeli hostages and their families.
Stories like this were entirely absent. Why? /1

This is shocking news. Nothing and no one is safe from the rampage of Israeli forces, not even a well known and respected educational bookshop. Our call is for the release of Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna.

Just imagine if that had happened to an American, French, not to mention Israeli pregnant woman. It would have been headline news - rightly so - everywhere. But not so when a Palestinian 8-month pregnant woman is shot dead. Then it is not newsworthy... aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/9/…

BREAKING:
Israel is blowing up entire civilian apartment buildings in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night—despite a “ceasefire”.
No reason. No justification. Just pure terror and destruction. A war crime.
And, of course, not a peep from the international community.

Extraordinary moment during a Blinken press conference when reporter Sam Husseini is dragged from the room for asking a probing question.
A reminder that the corporate media is not a watchdog on power. It's a lapdog. Any doubts, just watch the other journalists' reaction.
Reporter @samhusseini was just physically dragged from Blinken’s briefing. “Why aren’t you at The Hague?” he asked.

No one should buy from this gross company.
This man has just made millions from thousands of bar workers grafting over Christmas and New Year on just above the minimum wage.
The same man who was sunning himself in the Maldives weeks before his company abandoned the real living wage.
#JamesWatt has absolutely no shame.

The last government had the chance to do this in the Media Act, with measures to support 100s of smaller indie producers around the UK.
It instead rushed through needless deregulations and let the huge inequalities in the production sector persist. Labour could fix this tomorrow

If you were being heckled for selling arms to a Government that has killed or injured over 100,000 civilians, you’d surely be minded to show just a little empathy.
But then again, this is quite clearly a changed Labour Party.

Tony Benn’s plea to see Arabs as humans is as true today as it was then; we don’t have men of his moral fibre in Parliament anymore, instead we have careerist cowards who have barely mentioned today’s slaughter in Lebanon

To sum up, Israel is conducting genocide in Gaza, ethnically cleansing the West Bank, and massacring civilians in Lebanon, all at the same time. The violence and chaos that the Zionist regime perpetrates is staggering in scale. It must be stopped and dismantled.

This story should be getting a lot more attention.
Labour took £4,000,000 from a Cayman Islands-registered hedge fund with shares worth hundreds of millions of pounds in fossil fuels, private health firms and arms manufacturers.

I am bitterly disappointed that Rachel Reeves is refusing to listen to the profound worries people have about the Winter Fuel Allowance & is just ploughing on despite all the evidence of the hardship & suffering this would cause. A dreadful mistake. Saddening to say the least.

Jonathan Reynolds and two senior staff went to Glastonbury as guests of YouTube. Until then, Labour was promising to increase the digital service tax from 2% to 10%. Literally the day after the festival, it emerged that Reynolds had ditched the policy. novaramedia.com/2024/09/23/r…

Currently happening: Beit Shemesh
As the Israeli regime carries out bloody massacres in Gaza and Lebanon, anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews are brutally beaten by Zionist forces for steadfastly refusing to serve in the genocidal Israeli army.

Who remembers #bbclaurak relentlessly grilling Michelle Mone about her sailing around in a yacht funded by the NHS.
No. Me neither.
