This is deliberate and open starvation as a weapon of war. Israel has made these food hubs the only method of obtaining food aid, refusing to let aid agencies in. And the world stands by. I am deeply ashamed of my own government for supporting these genocidaires.#Gaza #Israel #Starvation #GenocideGaza food hub stops operations for second day as access routes remain ‘combat zones’ | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/04/israel-warns-palestinians-against-travel-on-roads-to-gaza-aid-hubs-labelling-them-combat-zones?CMP=GTUK_email

"The women at the community kitchen in the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher are sitting in huddles of desperation."Our children are dying before our eyes," one of them tells the BBC."We don't know what to do. They are innocent. They have nothing to do with the army or [its paramilitary rival] the Rapid Support Forces. Our suffering is worse than what you can imagine."#Sudan #Starvation #WarCrimeshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czxp0qyn6dqo

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'This is the guy who donated £257m to Tony Blair's institute and wants to use all our UK data to train Oracle's AI. Digital ID cards are a step.on the way.#UKPolitics #Oracle #TBIhttps://fortune.com/2024/09/17/oracle-larry-ellison-surveillance-state-police-ai/

"Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned"So, it is now the official policy of the Labour Party that Israel is committing genocide, while a Labour Government continues to arm the perpetrator of that genocide.#Israel #Gaza #Genocide #LabourParty #UKPoliticshttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/labour-conference-votes-sanction-israel-and-recognise-gaza-genocide

From the internal MetPol review: "Anti-black outcomes in policing are not random. They have been built in. And they have been named, again and again, by families in grief, frontline officers, unions, activists, whistleblowers, campaigners, and formal investigations.”#MetPol #Racism #Policing Met police’s culture makes racial harm ‘inevitable’, internal review finds | Metropolitan police | The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/07/met-polices-culture-makes-racial-harm-inevitable-internal-review-finds

"Force and coercive tactics are more likely to be used against black people than white people. The report says that “stop and search converts streets into checkpoints” and that the Met treats “blackness itself as probable cause”."#MetPol #Racism #Policing

@GeofCox My late husband, a police sergeant with unusually leftwing views, had nothing but contempt for the Met and its culture of misogyny, racism and violence. He served in two regional forces and we met quite a few officers who transferred to escape the Met.

This is obscene. The vile Shabana Mahmood has confirmed the new immigration rules will be retrospective."Under the incoming rules they will have to wait 20 years after they arrived before they can apply for settlement. It means more than 10,000 refugees who were set to qualify for settlement next year will now have to wait a further 15 years before they can settle"#Refugees #UKPolitics #Racismhttps://www.thetimes.com/article/6f8338d1-833d-48e2-b69c-6cce0471f52c?shareToken=21767caa2e6d519929839d540a44647a

"The Nerve has mapped the political landscape to illustrate who’s for digital ID and who’s against it. And what our research shows is a web of influence that radiates out from Tony Blair’s Institute for Global Change. In the ‘for’ camp is a grab bag of people who are mostly associated with Blair. And against it…is everyone else"#DigitalID #UKPolitics #TonyBlair #OracleIf Keir Starmer's digital ID is the question, Tony Blair is the answerhttps://www.thenerve.news/p/digital-id-keir-starmer-tony-blair-institute-larry-ellison-oracle-opposition

According to Unicef figures, 9,300 children in Gaza were treated for severe acute malnutrition in October. In October, about 8,300 pregnant and breastfeeding women were also hospitalised for acute malnutrition.Shocking. Israel is still not allowing enough food into Gaza.#Israel #Gazahttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/09/children-gaza-hospitalised-acute-malnutrition-un-says

"European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined,” Saravelos pointed out. “In an environment where the geoeconomic stability of the western alliance is being disrupted existentially, it is not clear why Europeans would be as willing to play this part.”#Trump #Greenland #Tariffs #USPolitics Europe can wield a $8 trillion 'sell America' weapon as Trump reignites a trade war over Greenland | Fortunehttps://fortune.com/2026/01/18/europe-retaliation-8-trillion-sell-america-us-debt-bonds-stocks-trade-war-greenland-trump/
