Yep, mislead to get elected. Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of betraying women affected by changes to the state pension age after using them to get elected. The prime minister came under fire on Wednesday after work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall rejected calls for 3.8m affected individuals to be given £1,000 and £2,950 each in compensation. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/waspi-starmer-labour-state-pension-compensation-b2666263.html

Looks to me like he has leprechaun inbred in him........lol The truth about Ireland’s hatred for Israel Is there a politician more sanctimonious, more smug, than Ireland’s president, Michael D Higgins? His pompous scolding of Israel this week after it had the temerity to call out the anti-Israel animus of the Irish elites was a truly unedifying spectacle of false virtue and cant. Shaking with fury, every word bitterly spat out, he said it is a ‘gross defamation and slander’ to ‘brand a people’ anti-Semitic just because they ‘criticise Benjamin Netanyahu’. He seemed to be in the grip of a paroxysm of pique. I’ve never seen him quake and froth like this over anything else: not poverty, not homelessness, not war. Well, unless it’s a war being fought by Israel. https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/12/18/the-truth-about-irelands-hatred-for-israel/

A very small example of BBC Arabic Head of BBC Global Service ‘Told Journalists That Hamas Is No Less Credible Than Israel & October 7 Attack Should Not Be Called a Massacre’

All these U Turns, surely he's going to keel over soon....... All of Starmer’s ‘betrayals’ and U-turns as Labour faces Waspi women backlash Sir Keir Starmer is facing yet another backlash after U-turning on his support for women affected by changes to the state pension age. As leader of the opposition, he promised to “do something about it”, saying he understood the plight of those who had planned for retirement only to have “the goalposts moved”. But, in a familiar change of tune since becoming prime minister, Sir Keir on Monday sent his work and pensions secretary out to tell Women Against State Pension Inequality, Waspi women, they would not be getting any compensation. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/starmer-waspi-labour-fuel-tax-b2666452.html

Says it all, the most unreliable service in the BBC for the Gaza conflict now trying to expose Facebook for their curbs on hate and terrorist supporters of Hamas.

Yea whatever veering way off topic there

Its a recent thing, South Africa only joined the G20 in 2023. They want to keep it sweet now of course

There's even a thread about it. Oh that's ok then................lol Did you read or listen to the lies the Irish President stated? Or do you agree with them? Sounds more like your usual Israel hate that you keep exposing to me. Sad that you defend lies against Israel.

South Africa are not taking the moral high ground. Correct, that would be impossible

Triggered by the closure so comes up with lies ‘Antisemitic liar’: FM blasts Irish president’s claim Israel wants to settle Egypt Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called Ireland’s President Michael Higgins an “antisemitic liar” on Tuesday, not long after Israel announced the shuttering of its embassy in Dublin, citing “anti-Israel” policy. Sa’ar’s comments came after Higgins accused Israel of breaching Lebanon’s and Syria’s sovereignty and charged, without evidence, that Jerusalem was seeking to establish settlements in Egypt. https://www.timesofisrael.com/antisemitic-liar-fm-blasts-irish-presidents-claim-israel-wants-to-settle-egypt/ This is the biggest straw man argument and everyone should shoot it down immediately for being deeply dishonest. The government of Ireland is not just criticizing the policies of the Netanyahu government – and it’s a really cheap trick to pretend that this is what’s happening.

Of course you do..........

Nice try SA showing that it needs to show its not hypocritical more like. Its using one world court for its baseless accusations, it can hardly upset another world court

They may be bound to arrest him but as Mongolia clearly demonstrated countries do not always comply. You need to catch up on this a little more Putin welcomed in Mongolia despite ICC arrest warrant https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy527yex0no

Of course South Africa’s response to the arrest warrant issued for Putin is not related in anyway to any other matter before the ICJ. How do you know?

Your take is not the take of the article which slurs Israel, how misleading and dishonest of you. There has also been no indication of Israel selling or leasing it. Palestinian American businessman Faisel Saleh, who founded the museum, said turning the former Israeli embassy into a Palestinian museum would be “a political statement”. Responding to the news of the embassy closing in Ireland, Mr Saleh said: “Good riddance. Who wants to have the presence of a genocidal state in their country? Disgusting unsubstantiated statement from the Palestinian.

No since 7th March 2023 when it was first issued actaully. The reference to genocide allegations is made by SA to ICJ. You've really not understood my post at all have you.

I know what Putin's arrest warrant was for, thanks

Yes, obviously................ Is this Britain’s worst council? The area where tenants live in squalor Lambeth has racked up debts approaching £1 billion and is accused of pursuing an ideological war on cars at the expense of the basic functions of local government "Bayo Dosunmu, the chief executive, and Nabeel Khan, director of climate and growth at Lambeth council, which was forced to suspend an LTN that caused gridlock on one of London’s main thoroughfares" A council that’s been failing vulnerable children and leaving social housing tenants to live in squalor has spent more than £25 million on climate and “active travel” initiatives since 2019, The Times can reveal. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/lambeth-council-worst-britain-spending-finance-v8wdh0300 https://archive.ph/odMZz

Probably one of the cleanest pets you can get. Love them to bits..my daughters Maine coon

Israel’s ambassador to Ireland or ex ambassador is probably more accurate statement. Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin was not taken lightly but follows an accumulation of anti-Israel initiatives & rhetoric by Ireland, including: Ireland’s unconditional recognition of a Palestinian state which was welcomed by Hamas; its attempt to redefine ‘Genocide’ to support the unfounded allegations against Israel in the ICJ; its support for politically motivated cases against Israeli leaders at the ICC; its actions to promote anti-Israel measures within the EU and intentions to promote domestic legislation that discriminates against Israel. In addition we have seen concerns about the increasing atmosphere of hostility toward Israelis, Zionism, & in some cases the Jewish community being dismissed rather than addressed. While we do not believe the majority of Irish people are comfortable with this anti-Israeli atmosphere, the current discourse in Ireland, regrettably, does not appear to allow space for a wider variety of views and voices.

There's an update on that, the US has put a figure of several hundred NK troops.... 'Several Hundred' N. Korea Casualties In Russia's Kursk: US Official North Korean forces have suffered "several hundred" casualties fighting against Ukrainian troops in Russia's Kursk region, a senior US military official said Tuesday. Pyongyang has sent thousands of troops to reinforce Russia's war effort, including to the Kursk border region, where Ukrainian forces seized territory earlier this year. "Several hundred casualties is our latest estimate that the DPRK has suffered," the official said on condition of anonymity, using an abbreviation for North Korea's official name. https://www.barrons.com/news/several-hundred-n-korea-casualties-in-russia-s-kursk-us-official-fd11258e

If showing your ignorance to the facts of mismanagement is distorting then yes.

I addressed what you wrote twice already, you can repeat it as many times as you want, shows just how little you have.

You must have been ducking, its gone straight over your head. Your example is one of showing just how badly managed it is. An ideological war on net zero while their residents suffer from one of the worst crime ridden boroughs in London and almost 1 billion in debts! "Financial transparency has also been an issue, as the council has not published audited accounts for the past two financial years"

Can you explain where? You can't because it shows just how your ignorance shines in the one item you took from the OP while ignoring the real problems of Lambeth, something that Lambeth is also doing. Have you not got the irony of that yet? No obviously not. The residents of Lambeth have.
