Given the political mayhem in Warsaw, I suggest Streeting calls off his plans for "Coalition of the Willing" war games in Poland next month. They were never about our security. And they could make an already dangerous situation in Europe even worse. Details here: gov.uk/government/news/uk-an…
Poland and Britain’s long and close alliance has been furthered today by the signing of the Warsaw Defence Plan, which will boost our collective capacity and capability in the stronger Europe and stronger NATO we need for a safer Britain. 🇬🇧🤝🇵🇱

Arabs turning up to vote is a 'version' of the attack on October 7th? I know we call her 'mad' as an insult, but she actually does need psychiatric care.
melaniephillips.substack.com… Whether motivated by hatred of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir or corrupt funding by Qatar, the huge mobilisation of Israeli Arabs at this election was the democratic version of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” of October 7. In both Israel and the West, public bamboozlement is so great that deliriously energised Islamists believe they’re now within sight of victory over both. To prevent that, governments in Israel, Britain and America need to wake up to the jihadi threat they are facing.

For anyone who still doesn’t know the Dalai Lama was a slave owner, here’s the video I made 3 years ago on the serfdom, and posted on Serfs’ Emancipation Day in Xizang. Every photo comes from the archives, real images of the serfs’ suffering, and how life got better step by step after CPC freed them.
There’s a museum in Lhasa specifically about serfs’ lives that will break your heart. You’ll see how ordinary people lived in hell under the Dalai Lama. No romance at all! For example, ritual instruments made from slaves’ skulls, bones, and skin… Slaves required to stick their tongues out like dogs before their owners… The West won’t tell you that it was Mao that emancipated them and gave them rebirth into a decent life. So Tibetans thank Mao.

Using benzodiazepines for as little as 3-6 weeks "can create a physical dependence that can give way to a permanent addiction." Yet patients are never told how hard they are to quit. midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-…

A totally sensible approach proposed here. There will never be peace until there is a negotiated settlement.

Israeli lawyer Michael Sfard: don't be misled by the idea that there are 'bad apple' settlers on the Zionist tree. There is "one machine".

You don't hate Israel enough.
Israeli soldiers detain an ambulance and its medical crew at gunpoint in the West Bank. While they were on their way to rescue the wounded. 🆘😡

This is from Adrian Ramsay briefing the Times today. Adrian and Ellie, who will almost certainly lose their seats, and Carolyn, will have to answer for the deeply dehumanising language they’ve relentlessly directed at Green Party members. They should be under no illusion that people will move on and forget.

一艘满载十几万立方米液化天然气(LNG)的巨轮,能量相当于几十颗广岛原子弹,且船舱里的天然气必须全程维持在零下 162℃ 的极低温液态,一旦升温气化膨胀 600 倍就会把船体撑爆。 很多人以为这艘船底下肯定是装了全世界最大功率的超级制冷压缩机给储罐吹冷气。 实际上,主流远洋 LNG 船在航行时根本不给储罐通电制冷,而是用了一招绝妙的物理学顺水推舟:“蒸发气自冷与发动机混烧(Boil-Off Gas)”! 船体储罐裹着厚厚的绝热保温层,但每天依然允许约 0.1%~0.15% 的液化天然气受热自然沸腾蒸发;正是这一丁点液体在蒸发相变时吸走了大量潜热,让剩下的整船液体稳稳保持在零下 162℃! 而每天蒸发出来的那几万立方米天然气也没浪费,直接顺着高压管道抽进轮船的主发动机里当免费燃料烧掉,推着巨轮跨越大洋。

Israeli occupying forces blew up the family home of Lebanese journalist Radwan Mortada days as his investigative documentary exposing Israel's pager attacks gathered global popularity Now Israeli spies appear to be attempting to break into his phone
Yesterday, I received a security notification from Apple warning me that my iPhone had been targeted by a sophisticated mercenary spyware attack, involving technology of the kind developed by companies such as NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind the notorious Pegasus spyware. Perhaps the most alarming aspect of Apple’s warning was its confirmation that such attacks target specific individuals “because of who you are or what you do.” This is not the first time I have been targeted by spyware. I was previously targeted with Pegasus in both 2017 and 2021. I do not yet know who is behind this latest attack, or whether it is connected to my investigative documentary, The Trap, which I directed and co-produced. The film, available on Al Jazeera 360, exposed the details of the September 2024 pager explosions in Lebanon. What is certain, however, is that the targeting of journalists with sophisticated spyware poses a grave threat to press freedom, the confidentiality of journalistic sources, and the very foundations of independent investigative journalism.

We (not them) must suffer pain, say two neoliberal think tanks founded by conservative politicians, hedge-funders and tax (avoidance) advisers. They don't say why - they're cutting back their leveraged moneylending because we can't guarantee them enough interest (free money). If we breathe a word about public investment their bond trader and media scaremongering pals will try to tank the economy and unseat the government. On and on it goes.....

Here you go: the government’s wholly owned (not shilly independent) Bank of England sets rates and can support its policy rate snd discipline markets as it sees fit. Markets are not in charge. Government is.
En efecto, el banco central del Reino Unido controla a voluntad su prima de riesgo. En pandemia la controló para poder expandir el gasto sin problemas. En 2022 la dejó subir para disciplinar a Truss. Y ahora la está controlando para ayudar a Burnham. Pero oye, te seguirán diciendo que el poder lo tienen "los mercados"...

After shooting British photographer Tom Hurndell, Israelis blocked his ambulance from moving for two hours resulting in his death.
Replying to @RabbiJeffx @ADL @grok
Tom Hurndall, a photojournalist from Ireland, shot right to the head by idf when he was trying to save children in Rafah. Just like Rachel Corrie and other foreign activists, he was wearing bright yellow vest.

50,000 people in one week. That’s how many demand an inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza. Andy Burnham’s Labour says there’s no need. We say they’re hiding something. At 100,000 we force a debate in Parliament. Palestinians deserve the truth. Sign: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Britain has 1,000 troops in Estonia. Russia has 700,000 troops in Ukraine. Would you fight for @wesstreeting ? He's obviously clueless.
Wes Streeting says having the British Army & RAF planes on Russias border reduces the risk of war.

There's always a Magic Money Tree when it comes to arms spending. In this case, the money may be "off the books", but debt is debt wherever you hide it. Lenders will exact a high price in interest rates, and that will ultimately be paid by us in more austerity... or worse.

This is the man who owns Estée Lauder and who met with Jolani.
World Jewish President Ron Lauder declared that any politician who will dare oppose Israel will be “DEFEATED” by force. He demanded heavier Holocaust programming in all schools and full weaponization of social media to silence critics against the Jews.
