Eh? I wasn't being serious, hence my reference to ChangeUK that disappeared without a trace soon after the 2019 election.

Yeah! And then they could merge themselves together and become the LabCon or ConLabvertives party? (Name might need a bit of work)... Or ChangeUK. That really took off last time.

Utter rot. It's factional McCarthyism ridding the party of anyone vaguely on the left. "A police matter" - after the "incident" happened 8 years ago. Most convenient just weeks before an election. And if it's an accusation of anti-semitism/racism then why are MPs and councillors on the right of...

I did not intend to lecture in the slightest. My reply was intended for readers of the thread, and not just targeted towards you. And I thought I made myself pretty clear that I don't believe the IDF chopped anyone's heads off. My last word on this subject is a tweet from Sky's Special...

You're right, words are important, and we maybe need another word to describe the removal of a person's head when struck by a bomb. We should also be careful not to 'gatekeep' the eyewitness accounts. I've seen way too many interviews on the BBC, Sky and on other channels where the interviewers...

I am not suggesting that the IDF are deliberately beheading anyone and I don't believe Bassem Youssef is either. All I am saying - and that the Caitlin Johnstone article suggests - is that decapitation can happen when you drop bombs on people. That the decapitation occurs without the deliberate...

I agree with you that propaganda - on both sides - is terrible. The fact is though, that pro-Israeli propaganda is swallowed whole and immediately regurgitated by US, UK and most of the Western governments and media, and serve to justify the ongoing actions in Gaza. Up until the last couple of...

How come there's a picture of Chris Hughton resplendent in Albion attire on this post from 2003? Is @dwayne a time traveller?

Here's an interview with a Jewish woman who bravely tried to stop the right-wing mob blocking aid:

Interview with Israeli spokesman David Mencer by Norway Broadcasting Corporation’s Yama Wolasmal: (Incidental and completely unrelated news snippet: David Mencer used to be a Director of Labour Friends of Israel) Meanwhile, when some British journalists try to do their jobs with any kind of...

I posted Monday lunchtime - and the BBC/Sky et al finally caught up by Tuesday evening. I wouldn't go as far to say that they're purposefully biased, more scared of even attempting to be 'even-handed' in their presentation of events from Israel/Gaza and the occupied territories.

Meanwhile mass graves have been discovered in the grounds of the Nasser Medical Centre in Khan Younis with over 180 bodies. Here's Sky News reporter posting about it on X: Expecting this to be headline news on all the channels, but...

We hear a lot about the US government's 'frustration' with Netanyahu but it doesn't prevent them sending weapons and ever increasing amounts of $$$ (a huge $26 million announced on Friday). It's just fiddling around the edges and not addressing the crucial problem... the US's continued funding...

Ah sorry, apologies. I only dip in and out, as I'm not on here 24/7.

It disappoints me in the general lack of engagement, empathy or concern about events happening in Gaza and the West Bank. Not just here on NSC, but from politicians and public figures generally. No condemnation of Israel from either Tory or Labour (not surprising perhaps), and any murmur of...

Sorry, it isn't a straight line - but Horseshoe (or circle) political theory is horseshit. It's just a way for centrists to distance themselves from either end of the political spectrum. A case in point. A 'centrist' in Israel would be viewed as being a 'right wing extremist' in other countries.

Breaking news update: At least 104 killed and about 750 injured whilst trying to access aid (bags of flour). BBC and Sky News have caught up with the news, and seek clarification from the IDF. Three available options: 1. Stampede 2. A truck (driven by a civilian) 3. Hamas Alternatively:

Breaking news: 77 people killed and about 250 injured by Israeli strikes while waiting for aid Nothing on the BBC, Sky News, ITV or Channel 4 - but there is this bit of essential breaking news on BBC World:
