Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

When GBNews admit it.......you know it's got to be bad!
It seems to have been a struggle to find volunteers to fill the room for Reform UK’s pre-Budget announcement today. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

The reality of IHRA in the NHS: Wes Streeting brought it in after a group that began as the Israel Medical Association's British branch asked for it, and gave the review to Lord Mann, who had just chaired the Board of Deputies' own commission.
Mann's review then recommended what his commission for the Board had already proposed.
What we found:
- The Jewish Medical Association asked Streeting in December 2024 for IHRA and for "symbols, posters, signs, clothing" to be kept out of the NHS, its own newsletter says. It was registered as the Israel Medical Association British Fellowship, and its charitable aims make it "the link association" with the Israel Medical Association.
- Streeting met the Board of Deputies that month "To discuss antisemitism in the NHS", his department's records show. Its constitution commits it to "advance Israel's security, welfare and standing".
- Mann's commission for the Board called for antisemitism training in every NHS trust and a ban on staff "attire". The Board says his NHS review "reinforce[s]" it.
- In October 2025 Streeting asked NHS England to adopt IHRA, and it did the next day. None of Mann's 36 recommendations says to adopt it, yet NHS England asked every NHS organisation to confirm by 31 July whether it had.
Then we followed the money:
- The Antisemitism Policy Trust runs Mann’s office on £420,000 in four uncompeted government grants, according to the government’s own grants data. It ran the review’s secretariat, the review recommends its IHRA guide, and it sells antisemitism training, as the review tells the NHS to train all 1.5 million staff.
- Sir Trevor Chinn, on the executive committee of the pro-Israel lobby group BICOM, according to the Jewish Leadership Council, has given Streeting £33,250 since 2021, two donations while he was Health Secretary. He gave £5,000 to Mann's local party and funded Mann’s antisemitism work through Mann’s company.
- Labour Friends of Israel paid £4,700 for Streeting's trip to Israel. Israel's foreign ministry paid for Mann's trip to Jerusalem.
This matters because the IHRA definition treats some criticism of Israel as antisemitic, and NHS England has urged every trust to adopt it.
It now lands on nurses and doctors: UK Lawyers for Israel, which says it supports Israel "using their legal skills", complained to at least eight NHS trusts over Palestine badges, lanyards and flags, and Barts banned political symbols after its complaints.
The same group asks the World Medical Association to protect the Israel Medical Association, and asks NHS trusts to stop British nurses wearing a Palestine badge.

In Britain, the establishment liberal position is that it’s racist to describe Zionism, a Racist ideology, as racist, and if you say that it is, clearly, racist, then some of the most racist people in the country will accuse you of being a racist.

I wonder if the Burnham government will issue an immediate set of responses in relation to this much more credible and properly researched report?
Or will it, instead, end bin collection in Birmingham because the Green Party believes the ideology behind those crimes is racist.

So here we have this former Russian ambassador explaining how the Donbass war began.
There was a coup d’état in Kyiv in 2014, financed by the US.
The new installed regime banned the Russian language, and the population of Crimea voted in a referendum for their independence against the ban on their native language.
Kyiv then intervened militarily in Donbass in 2014, which triggered the war.
The Minsk agreements then followed. Russia finally intervened in 2022 because there was no other solution to protect its compatriots in Donbass, who had been attacked for 8 years.

‼️Turning Point UK CEO Caught On Camera Brokering Paid Attacks And Killings Through A UVF-Linked Hitman😱
An Al Jazeera undercover investigation has exposed Turning Point UK CEO Jack Ross introducing reporters to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal with alleged ties to the Ulster Volunteer Force, a proscribed paramilitary group. Ross is filmed discussing a menu of paid violence, from beatings and face-cutting to stabbings, shootings, and killings, while also paying Nesbitt thousands to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally. In public, Ross condemns political violence. In private, he appears comfortable arranging it through a man who showed weapons on a call and claimed past experience with such work. The Conservative Party has suspended Ross’s membership, and Scottish police are reviewing the footage for possible criminality.
Turning Point UK is the British offshoot of Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Charlie Kirk. The investigation shows how casually its leadership treated the idea of hiring paramilitary-linked contacts for violence against rivals. This comes as questions continue about Turning Point USA’s own conduct, its finances, and the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Erika Kirk and the American organization have not yet addressed the UK findings publicly.
How will Turning Point USA try to separate itself from this? Will they claim the UK group is fully independent, or will they stay silent while police examine whether their overseas CEO was negotiating contract violence? The public statements against violence do not match the private recordings.

If a Russian attack really was imminent, we would be withdrawing our forces from faraway places and concentrating them where the supposed threat is.
But we aren't - in fact, we've just sent RAF planes to help the authoritarian Saudi regime fight a war in Yemen.
They take us for fools.
