This money is being stolen from the population .
Today we’re announcing a new £10bn package of support for Ukraine. This funding will help Ukraine meet its immediate needs, support economic resilience, and help defend its sovereignty from Russia’s illegal invasion. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

The notion that the safety of British Jews depends on Israel being free to commit atrocities in Palestine with impunity is both disgraceful and offensive. Let’s be clear: these Zionist publications do not speak for all Jews, and opposition to genocide should be non-negotiable.
The two largest Jewish newspapers have co-written an editorial warning that if Palestine Action wins its appeal against proscription next week then the British Jewish community will feel utterly unprotected. Sadly they’re right.jewishnews.co.uk/jn-jc-rever…

In January your UK energy bill is going up by over £400 a year. But at least you are gifting Lamborghinis and gold toilets to Ukrainian oligarchs.
Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to UK prosperity and security. That's why this Budget is providing over £10bn in additional support to Ukraine.

These Zionists were 3 of the single most famous real estate agents in New York and Miami. For 20 years they drugged and raped at least 70 women. Guess who they represented? @JaredKushner & @IvankaTrump.
Israeli-American brothers sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for serial sex trafficking —— Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander—three brothers from a prominent Israeli-American family who once dominated high-society real estate and security circles in New York and Miami—were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Tuesday for sex trafficking, conspiracy, and multiple counts of sexual abuse. Presiding US District Judge Valerie Caproni delivered the sentences in a Manhattan courtroom following an emotional, hours-long hearing where more than a dozen survivors delivered harrowing impact statements detailing years of systemic abuse. During the five-week trial, federal prosecutors laid out evidence demonstrating how the brothers exploited their immense wealth, high social status, and Israeli-American background ties to lure women to luxury properties—including estates in the Hamptons and international locations such as Tel Aviv—before drugging and violently assaulting them while incapacitated. While Tal and Oren operated elite luxury real estate brokerages, their twin brother Alon worked as an executive at their family’s security firm, utilizing their network to shield their predatory conduct. Judge Caproni firmly rejected the defendants' late assertions of innocence and unconvincing appeals for mercy, describing their actions as "monstrous" and likening them to "sadistic, misogynistic sexual predators." The landmark sentencing marks a dramatic downfall for the brothers, who maintained their defiant stance even as victims confronted them directly in court. Federal prosecutors had pushed for life sentences, citing the profound psychological trauma inflicted upon more than 70 victims who came forward to investigators.

The foreign owned #ScottishSalmon industry are handed out millions of pounds of grants by both the UK and Scottish Governments for things they should be funding themselves, money that would be life changing for #rural, locally owned, sustainable coastal businesses. #Aquaculture
The #ScottishSalmon sector is a major contributor to #Scotland’s economy, especially in #rural, coastal and island areas. A report released last year by BiGGAR Economics Ltd proved that the sector is a cornerstone of these regional economies.

The 17 states who voted for the illegal blockade to starve Cuba are an extraordinary list of scumbag regimes. Headed of course by US, Israel and Ukraine.
NOW: World majority demands an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba for the 34th time, in annual UN vote. Vote board:

There you are folks think of this next time the leccy or gas gets cut off or you cannot put a meal on the table for your family, the London Russophobes and genociders are giving the fascists in Ukraine another £10 billion of your money! Did anyone vote for that?
I had a great conversation with the UK Prime Minister @AndyBurnham, and we are grateful to Britain for its unwavering, strong, and truly leading support. Today, Britain made a strong decision to provide an additional £10 billion in financial support – £7 billion in economic support over the next three years, and another £3 billion in British export support, primarily for the supply of much-needed weapons that will strengthen our protection of lives. This is on top of the annual support Britain already provides to Ukraine. A truly strong and very timely step – coming right as Russia needs to see and feel that Ukraine will not be left alone to deal with the problems Russia is so eager to escalate. Every step to strengthen Ukraine brings Russia closer to realizing that it must end this war of its own making. Of course, Andy and I also discussed sanctions policy, and Britain will remain principled on this – setting an example that matters globally. I am grateful to Britain, to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his team, and to every person around the world who understands that standing with Ukraine is the right thing to do – that it means being on the right side of history. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

The UN Human Rights Council called for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba. The UN General Assembly called for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba. The U.S. is starving Cuba. This violates Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment.
Today nearly triple the number of nations voted no, abstained, or just chose not to vote—turning their back on Havana’s sham resolution at the UN. More work to do, but the world is starting to push back on Cuban regime propaganda as their corruption and oppression is exposed. Cuba Libre!

Neoliberalism is best understood not simply as economic policy, but as a project to restore class power and consolidate control over the economy. The top 0.1% of U.S. firms went from owning 47% of corporate assets in 1930 to 88% in 2013.

As I presented my latest report at the UN two days ago, the US ambassador managed to be even more insulting than Israel’s. No small feat, given that Israeli representatives at UN in New York have long been second to none in diplomatic buffoonery.
At the UN on Monday, Israel's ambassador called @FranceskAlbs a fraud and a liar. The US representative called her a lunatic. Her report documents nearly 300 journalists killed in Gaza. Of course, neither of them addressed it. Then she answered.

I grew up in Israel. I was educated there. Served it. Studied it. Taught about it. No one knows it better than I do. And there is no doubt. It was built on racism and the destruction of the Palestinian people.

One of the dumbest things we are asked to believe about Iran is that it keeps taking time away from defending itself against US-Israeli aggressions to orchestrate random acts of arson and vandalism in mid-power western states for no discernible benefit to its strategic interests.
Today CBC published an article with the headline: “Why a spate of gun-for-hire shootings in Toronto were likely paid for by Iran.” I was intrigued, as there has been almost 0 evidence offered for this claim thus far. Unfortunately this article doesn’t offer any either, adding nothing new. CBC says they spent weeks on the investigation, so these are pretty pitiful results, at least in terms of finding evidence of who paid for the shootings. I’m not sure why they feel comfortable with such a declarative headline given the lack of evidence (other than journalistic standards going out the window when the subject is an Official Enemy country). Also, CBC and other journalists continue platforming police claims that they need backdoor access to messaging apps to solve these shootings, with no push back or critique about how these powers can be abused, including against journalists. cbc.ca/news/investigates/ira…

Did you know that the constant search for high quality protein to feed migratory, carnivourous, farmed #ScottishSalmon is one of the reasons it can never be sustainable? fairr.org/engagements/sustai…
Did you know that in the wild, young #salmon are not pink and only develop their well-known pink colour when they eat foods rich in healthy antioxidants called carotenoids. Farmed #Scottishsalmon are given these carotenoids in their feed when they move from hatcheries to the sea, mirroring the natural dietary shift in the wild.

ALARMING TIMELINE: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation + Vanderbilt University + Alpha-Gal Syndrome 2012 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation begins funding Vanderbilt University’s work on Alpha-Gal Syndrome. A condition most people had never even heard of yet. 2013 Bill Gates starts publicly pushing synthetic lab-grown meat as the future — “better for the planet,” he says. 2017 Gates pours serious money into Memphis Meats (now Upside Foods). He’s all-in on fake meat replacing real beef, pork, and lamb. 2012 – Present Lone star tick populations explode across the U.S. Hundreds of thousands develop Alpha-Gal Syndrome — a brutal, lifelong allergy to red meat triggered by a single tick bite. Cases keep rising dramatically. 2021 – 2023 Gates Foundation funds Oxitec’s genetically modified cattle tick projects. Official story: “for livestock protection.” 2024 Vanderbilt ramps up actual development of the Alpha-Gal vaccine. 2025 – 2026 (NOW) Tick infestations surging. Alpha-Gal cases climbing fast. Gates still aggressively promotes lab-grown meat. The vaccine “fix” is moving forward. The pattern is crystal clear: 1. Fund the “problem” (Alpha-Gal research at Vanderbilt since 2012) 2. Accelerate the crisis on the ground (tick explosion + meat allergy epidemic) 3. Push people off real meat (synthetic meat empire + campaigns) 4. Sell the “solution” (lab meat + the vaccine) Create the crisis → Control the food supply → Profit from the cure. They’re not even hiding it anymore. This isn’t coincidence. This is a timeline.

Netanyahu lost his majority today and in a week Trump will lose control of Congress. But both will remain in office. I predict their joint response will be a massive attack on Iran, which they hope will consolidate their domestic power.
