This is the most neutral summary I’ve seen of the Minnesota murder by ICE. It has ALL angles, it syncs them together, and shows the lead up and aftermath… if you watch this all and still think those shots were justified - you just might be a psychopath.

A reminder that what Farage ACTUALLY did was spread the false claim that the killer was a Muslim immigrant Which is what caused the race riots

At last the truth. The Southport murderer was reported to Prevent three times. The cover-up has been a disgrace. I was right all along.

“Stop the life-saving nannying - and bring on the next pandemic!” 🙄

The UK should do exactly the same thing. The World Health Organization has lost all credibility since the pandemic, has got it wrong too many times and is another globalist, nannying structure that is no longer serving the interests of the British people. And we would save £140m annually. Time to defund the WHO.

Is that a portrait of Trump fantasising that he turned out in 40-over match at Lords? 🏏

A word on @AllisonPearson free speech row and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. Today on @TheNewsAgents, we asked her to appear. She said ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ You gotta love a free speech warrior

"There is no protection to anyone" @UNWateridge describes the harrowing reality for families seeking refuge at this @UNRWA school - children with amputations, burns & permanent scarring. The school has been struck by Israeli airstrikes twice & endured countless shelling. The situation is unimaginable.

Israel appears to be destroying another country’s capital city - killing civilians in huge numbers And its barely in the news

Absolutely horrifying scene out of Beirut today. Israel is deliberately wiping out entire civilian apartment buildings without justification or restraint—sheer destruction for the sake of it. This is an American-funded, American-backed genocide.

Mamode added: “We saw a number of children with sniper injuries to the head, single shot to the head, no other injuries – so clearly, deliberately targeted by Israeli snipers”

Mamode was shocked that the MPs were shocked, pointing out that scores of medics have written to Joe Biden and Keir Starmer with similar revelations, saying: “This is not a surprise – it’s something senior politicians are aware of”

Dismal of the BBC to parrot the narrative that the UK has "failed" on immigration - just because the far right says so It could highlight cultural benefits, successful assimilation, debt owed to immigrant workers....but no, yet another Farage puff bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
