Must have made you curious - who is stopping all this life-saving aid from being delivered? Did you find out? Do tell
In Jordan last week I saw warehouses full of aid still waiting to get into Gaza even though families are still going hungry. All aid routes must be opened and aid restrictions lifted now.

Nowhere is the land of milk and honey but I think the reason the UK feels particularly painful atm is that there is an entire cohort of young people who were told that they could work hard and see their life improve and the government is working even harder to make that false.

Who is this guy? Where did he suddenly appear from? Why is he on TV so often when he has never been elected to any position? On what experience does he make his pronouncements? To whom is he responsible?
A reckoning is coming for the political class.

Trevor Philips, "You don't want a rise in income tax?" Zack Polanski, "No, people are tired and exhausted" "Their wages haven't gone up, food prices are going up" "How can you take from the hardest working people with extra tax, while allowing multimillionaires and billionaires to continue to not paying CGT?"

conservatives: If we elect Mamdani, there will be Sharia Law also conservatives:
“How do we make young women more conservative” You don’t. You just take away their right to vote or make any political decisions :)

Two women. Fucked off with the state of politics. So we started a podcast in our bedrooms… And today we sit in the charts snuggled up against The Times, Sky News, The Financial Times, etc Absolutely LOVE the community of like-minded listeners we’ve built up - THANK YOU to each and every one of you who joins us through this shit-show …and to the amazing @jemmaforte - my political soul sister and radiator for life 💕

Is Nancy Mace the dumbest person in Congress?
If you have to tell people you're a woman, you aren't.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Absolutely brutal community note
Protecting a p*dophile is one step away from being a p*dophile. Prove me wrong.🧐

Just caught up with @TheTrawlPodcast on my commute this morning. Honestly, it’s such a breath of fresh air given everything going on in the world right now! We’re clearly on a worrying path here in the UK, with characters like Farage (our very own mini-me Trump) desperate to follow in the orange footsteps of authoritarian nonsense... but there are glimmers of hope shining through! Seeing Mamdani push through a tsunami of political attacks, even with billionaires throwing cash at Cuomo, and Trump threatening New Yorkers over federal funding, is such a powerful reminder of what people power can do. Democracy is not lost yet! And if Virginia Giuffre’s legacy was strong enough to bring down a prince… maybe, just maybe, it could take down a president too?? Thoroughly recommend a listen!
Morning! Start your Friday with a spring in your step & our brand new ep: I ❤️ NY: Mamdani WINS! …& Andrew - who we never have to refer to as Prince EVER AGAIN …plus that glorious time of year when Piers Morgan had to deny he was the pigeon lady from Home Alone You know you want to… 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

if a billionaire is telling you to vote for someone it’s probably in your best interest to vote for the other person.
