“Ocean surface temperatures hit a record high for June. European scientists warn of consequences for weather patterns, the global climate and marine life.” Billions of us are probably going to starve but don’t worry oil profits are booming. #Climate #Environment #Oil #Capitalism

“John Lewis boss’s pay rises to £1.2m as retailer cuts 3,300 jobs.” It doesn’t have to be like this. #Capitalism

“Another year, another controversy for Eurovision.” Wouldn’t it be better if #Israel was in a Levant song contest. They could compete with #Palestine #Lebanon #Syria Oh I see the problem!

“Netanyahu claims that victory over Iran would bring peace to Israel. He should look closer to home.” The only route to peace is for Israel to stop murdering its neighbours and start talking to them. #Israel #Palestine #Syria #Lebanon #Iran

“Ali Khamenei’s six-day funeral expected to draw millions in Iran.” There’s nothing quite like creating a martyr to strengthen your enemies. #Iran #USA #Israel

“E Jean Carroll asks judge to order Donald Trump to pay $5m he owes her.” Well with his crypto haul he can certainly afford it. #Trump #Corruption

“Retailers including Amazon, Argos and Currys have been found to advertise e‑scooters for use on public roads and paths, despite this being against UK law.” People do tend to get very upset when you point out to them their silent and deadly e-scootering is illegal. #E-scooters #JustWalk #Walking

“Thirty-nine people have been killed in another day of intense Israeli strikes in Lebanon, the country's health ministry said.” Come on Keir if you want to save your premiership you need to show you care about this and stop the unconditional support for Israel. #Starmer #Labour #Israel #Palestine #Lebanon

“‘Go inside, he will kill you’: Israeli militants step up West Bank school attacks. Education is being targeted across Palestine, with the murder of 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan only the latest in a spree of violence.” So where is Keir Starmer on this then? #Starmer #Israel #Palestine

“His father had just been buried. Then West Bank settlers forced him to dig up the body.” So Keir when are you going to start making a fuss about this sort of thing? #Israel #Palestine #KeirStarmer

“Trump said US attacks on Iran could be resumed. He said the US could “go in for two more weeks and do every single target. We have certain targets that we wanted, and we’ve done probably 70% of them, but we have other targets that we could conceivably hit.” Another school? #USA #Iran

“Two pro-Palestinian activists who were detained in Israel after sailing on a flotilla carrying aid for Gaza have been deported.” Deported is hardly the right word. Freed after being kidnapped would be more appropriate. #Israel #Palestine

“When questioned about the Guardian’s revelation of the gift, which Farage had not disclosed, Tice insisted it had been a personal gift that did not need to be declared. “Nigel was not involved in politics at the time. He’s complied with all the laws,” Tice told the BBC.” Not involved in politics!! If only. #Farage

“Reversing Thatcher’s failed legacy of privatisation can be a Labour vote-winner.” More likely a Green vote winner. #Green #Labour #Renationalisation

“Tehran’s embattled Jewish community endures despite Israeli bombing of synagogue. Members of Rafi’ Nia synagogue braved airstrikes to celebrate Passover hours before it was destroyed.” Not content with destroying mosques and statues of Jesus they are flattening synagogues! #Israel

“Rabbi who boasts of bulldozing Palestinian homes will light torch for Israel’s national day. Human rights campaigners say honour for Avraham Zarbiv endorses ethnic cleansing and war crimes.” Are we surprised? #Israel #Palestine

“Trump calls Iran leaders ‘deranged scumbags’ as Middle East violence spirals.” It takes one to know one. #Trump #USA #Iran

“Meta to track workers' clicks and keystrokes to train AI.” Well there’s nothing like working to be replaced. #Meta #AI #Unemployment

“Experts call for UK four-day week as study links long work hours to obesity.” So that’s why the wealthy are slim. #Obesity #Work #Wealth

“Two Israeli soldiers jailed over smashing of Jesus statue in Lebanon village.” But they can rape and murder with impunity. Are they perhaps worried about the US Christian backlash slowing the flow of military aid? #IDF #Israel #USA

“Trump raked in more than $1bn from crypto businesses in 2025, filing shows.” Our very own #MiniTrump frog faced #Farage will be jealous. Just £5 million. Sad. #Corruption
