This man BELOW who has been elected to the Israeli parliament expresses views which are not uncommon in Israel
They are like the views expressed by many in Nazi Germany about the Jews
The IHRA definition of antisemitism forbids equating Israel's behaviour with Nazi behaviour
BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE?
This govt want to force schools to adopt the profoundly worrying IHRA definition

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.
Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.
It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

It’s time to get rid of this, isn’t it? 👑
An unelected, undemocratic institution where the top job is decided purely by an accident of birth. No votes, no merit just sperm.
It costs us over £1bn a year while public services crumble. Time to abolish the monarchy.

Insolvency scam
The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts.
These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid.
Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business.
Gone on for decades. No investigation.

Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."
So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.

The claim in Sir David Bell's report that 3 in 5 Jewish students have experienced antisemitism was based on just 29 people - and was untrue. @pularjs

Everything for sale.
Australia investors buy 19UK ports, previously owned by investors from Canada, Singapore, Kuwait.
City of London prefers speculation.
Unlike many other countries, UK doesn't levy tax on dividends paid to foreign investors.

John Healey's small business accounting reforms reveal that the man has no clue what he is talking about, but has bought, lock, stock and barrel into the "government is the impediment to business" agenda, which is entirely wrong, because business cannot and never will survive without the foundations that government supplies it with. I am not amused.

The £billions that the Labour government want to spend on carbon capture machines are a total waste of money. Nature developed this natural and beautiful carbon capture machine over millions of years. Let's plant more of them. 🌳

Sign the petition: weownit.org.uk/stopthebailou…
ALT Graphic with quote from Feargal Sharkey that says "“Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and half ago, it was given a £3 billion bailout. Now it is asking for another 2.4 billion. We really are being taken for mugs”, with additional text saying "6 days to get Andy Burnham to block the bailout: Sign the petition"

The government has until December to decide whether to pull the NHS out of its £330m contract with Palantir - a US spy-tech firm that has facilitated genocide in Gaza.
Andy Burnham needs to pick a side. We have picked ours.

The UK is only in debt because it Privatised everything.
If Margaret Thatcher had never existed and we never privatised Oil, Gas, Electricity, Airports, Water, Mail, Rail, Rolls Royce, British Airways...
We would have Trillions of Pounds and own everything, just like Norway.

I have just seen the film NAZA
EVERYONE should watch it. This crime committed by Israel and supported & enabled by the West including the UK is our generation's equivalent of the Holocaust
All those UK politicians and UK mainstream media people who have spent 3 years parroting Israeli propaganda to deny or justify the Nazi-like mass murder of civilians, should watch it
@chiefrabbi and @BoardofDeputies who have been cheerleaders for Israel's GENOCIDE should watch it and hang their heads in shame
