In 2011, Anders Breivik killed 77 people, many of them teenagers, and injured 100s of others, and stated that he was doing so to protect Europe's Christian Cultural Heritage.
You never see Christians hijacking a plane and yelling "Praise Jesus" as they try to kill everyone on board.

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

You will hear a lot about the violence of protestors in France but little about the violence of the police. Here the officer shoots one lone protestor in the face with a stun grenade launcher, causing him to lose most of his teeth As usual the Police are the MOST violent

Remember when I warned that by removing Gaza #rubble Israel would destroy human remains deserving burial, together with evidence of crimes? ProApartheid squads rushed to call me LIAR - after calling me: Impostor Antisemite Hamas spokesperson Witch. But we keep receipts.
NEW ANALYSIS — In Gaza, Israel’s ongoing destruction during the so-called ceasefire is desecrating the bodies of Palestinians which remain beneath the rubble. Our analysis of videos and satellite imagery finds military practices of demolition, compaction and removal of rubble. These risk making the recovery of Palestinian remains impossible in the 65% of Gaza under Israel’s control.

A black man "I'm an Englishman" Braverman "well...actually...no you're not" An MP sitting in an English parliament involved in making laws to protect us all tells every black and brown person BORN here that they aren't actually English- because she set the bar at five generations and set it at white. How is that patriotism? Car Crash.

US private equity owner of Boots to sell it to a Canadian private equity firm for $9bn (£7bn). NHS prescriptions are a major money makers. Otherwise it's prices are high. No UK tax levied on dividends paid by Boots to its foreign owners. theguardian.com/business/202…

There's a key point in this tweet that isn't discussed enough. We don't actually need AI.
Unpopular opinion: AI companies are pushing society to accept an unacceptable level of risk for a non-essential technology.

As a former Police Officer who spent much of my career in Counter Terrorism, it saddens me to see this. An absurd scenario where peaceful protesters taking a moral stance against genocide and war crimes are being arrested, while thousands of prisoners may soon be released early and balaclava‑clad mobs roam with impunity. You don't have to look hard to know that these are troubled times. Years‑long trial backlogs, evidence piles untouched, investigations delayed. The justice system is broken and real victims are being failed whilst Politicians meddle. It is a complete shambles.
Terrorism laws in the UK have now grown so Kafkaesque that British police arrest this guy simply for SITTING next to people displaying "FORBIDDEN" signs. That displaying signs gets you charged with supporting terrorism is bizarre enough, but sitting next to people displaying signs is a new level of insanity. The lengths some Western countries go to deprive their own citizens of obvious freedoms to protect Israel's genocide never cease to surprise...

It didn't take long. Burnham is now claiming that Iran is definitely involved in the incident at the US base. Only function of this lie could be to prepare the country to openly and aggressively support war against Iran. The FT report today is sober and convincing. There is no proof and a senior ex-police officer involved in anti-terrorism is very clear that this is a response to pressure from Rubio . Hope in this guy? Come off it. Its back to business as usual.

Burnham is running on a campaign of 'hope again': but in Holborn & St Pancras, the Labour Party's candidate is a product of a Starmerite faction that spent years destroying it locally - hollowing out Labour Party democracy and eviscerating support for the Party. Excited to co-publish (with my brilliant partner Jessica Murray) the first of a two-part investigative series in The Tribune about the history of Camden Labour, its brutal remaking under the Starmer project, and the true story of how Sagal Abdi-Wali became a councillor and then Council leader as a key player within it... based on considerable new research combined with unpublished materials from The Fraud. Come for absurd, obscene Starmerite stitch-ups that destroyed Camden Labour's electoral support; stay for Sagal's eye-raising personal connections and the things they share online. The second part, published shortly, will explain the practical consequences of the Starmerite remaking of Camden, from quashing protest on Palestine to running a totally flawed model that fails to solve Camden's Housing crisis but richly rewards mega housing developers.

Peter Thiel is an absolute cancer on the world. Our governments are buying into not only his far-right ideological bullshit, but also the software his company Palantir makes to commit genocide, destroy critical infrastructure, and spy on every aspect of our lives. Thiel is all over the Epstein Files, he talks about how being evil is actually good, because it’s ‘competent’. We are truly in the upside down m.youtube.com/watch?v=BCFX5z…

This is literally obscene. An FOI from 2025 revealed that Camden built a total of 650 Council Houses between 2010 and 2025 - but demolished another 500. They've built 150 Council Houses in 15 years! 10 Council Houses a year! Camden have spent £2.4bn on "public-private" housing plans... and have been routinely letting developers slash the number of affordable houses they must build. It's a system that has made developers rich but delivered a genuinely risible number of affordable houses at huge cost.
Social housing gives families security. So pleased to talk to @AngelaRayner about the progress we're making here in Camden.

On this day 26 years ago, the world watched, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach- whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father. Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.

The problem isn't the technology, Tom, it's the fact that it's in the hands of people who want to trade our data, abolish the NHS and help the Israeli military murder children. As indeed are you.
Later today protesters will demand ‘No Palantir in our NHS’    While they protest, someone, somewhere will get an operation scheduled earlier, a cancer diagnosis quicker, a loved one home from hospital sooner - thanks to the software that those protesters would switch off.   Here is what you won’t hear. Trusts using the software have recorded: • 117,000 additional operations • 14.3 per cent reduction in discharge delays for long stay patients • 5.6 per cent improvement in the number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis within 28 days     As a more articulate person once said: ‘certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.’
