Somebody wake Biden up and explain to him what his military aid to Israel is being used for, other than slaughtering as many Palestinians as it can:
“United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said in a statement that Israeli forces have "repeatedly hit" UN positions in the last 24 hours.
"Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law,"

This is the case Musk has gone apoplectic about and seems to think stirring up racial hatred is aOK — his shitty platform is rammed with it after all.
Perhaps we need to ban X and Facebook in the UK — it’s not as if there aren’t other less destabilising social platforms available.

Like the UK America operates under the false premise of being a democracy.
Neither country with winner takes all gerrymandered voting blocks that don’t represent the people but are stacked to favour the rightwing is anywhere near being a democracy.
America adds on the anti-democratic Electoral College.
Both countries need STV PR. Let the people speak and decide.

Unionists are losing their minds while frenetically clutching at their pearls again as a First Minister elected by the Scottish people to represent them in their own Scottish Parliament doesn’t bow to the will of a Parliament in Westminster he has no duty to report to.
Their favourite rag even seems confused about who has or hasn’t responded to the demand to appear 🤷

“As Sunak signals a further squeeze on benefits to fund tax cuts, the prime minister today faces warnings about the unintended consequences of a previous crackdown. Experts say years of toughening the benefits system for those seeking a job has been a “false economy’, pushing people towards more expensive health-related benefits.”
Which begs the question: why are Labour wedded to the same failed policy?

Why are Tories and Labour wed to the white elephants of carbon capture and storage, nuclear power and hydrogen as solutions to the climate crisis?
Because they can be controlled by big business and supply rationed to drive profits.
Renewables break that grift because they enable dirt cheap local generation not dependent on massive costly grids of pipes and cables.
Net Zero is a con and a scam designed to keep energy supplier profits flowing.

What Israelis have suffered over the past 48 hours is what Palestinians have lived with the 56 years.

Hard to argue that the #SNP can still claim to be a progressive Party now the full panoply of religious wing nuts and bigots have exposed themselves since Sturgeon resigned for no visible reason, dumping her Party and the country right in it.

Thanks to MSNBC I now have an explanation for the surging far right in America who are waging culture wars against anyone and everyone who isn’t white and heterosexual.
It’s a movement called Christian Dominionism.
One of its key proponents, a Christian mobile phone provider has taken over school districts in Texas by funding slick election campaigns feeding people’s fears.
Religion is a cancer on humanity — now it’s a far right dictatorship in waiting.

“It also dramatizes the collapsing fortunes of the Scottish nationalists, for many years a hugely powerful force in Scottish politics, led by the charismatic Nicola Sturgeon.
Her sudden resignation in February plunged the party into division, and within months it was hit by a financial scandal that undermined voter confidence.”
