This is why the UK-jailed Palestine solidarity activists are warning of hunger strikes as reported by Saeed Pourreza in London. The idea is to shame the UK Labour government into breaking its financial and military support for Israel and unbanning Palestine Action! Of course, the mainstream UK government is ignoring this protest and we have to rely on foreign news broadcasters to find what is going on just down the streets we live in!
“They have no excuse not to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with visiting Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “Maybe you should throw them out of NATO frankly.”
“You people are gonna have to start speaking to Spain,” Trump said. “You have to call them and find why are they a laggard.”
Under pressure from Trump, NATO members in June agreed to raise their military spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2035.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez rejected the target, calling it “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision.”
Between 2022-2024 the Russian Army systematically took-on and destroyed every Western-trained and NATO-armed formation the Maidan Neo-Nazis possessed (many of these Neo-Nazi troops had spent years training in the UK and US). Indeed, in an attempt to turn the tide of an obvious (and embarrassing) Kyiv defeat – the UK planned and instigated the illegal Maidan invasion of the sovereign Russian territory of “Kursk” – a historically famous area which had absolutely nothing to do with the current dispute (the Soviet Red Army had inflicted a devastating defeat in Kursk upon the retreating Nazi German forces during July 1943).
A spokesperson for ZSL told the BBC that the past year had been particularly challenging for UK tourism and the global conservation sector.
They added that the organisation had also been affected by the increase in employer National Insurance contributions earlier this year.
The spokesperson said: “ZSL, whose income is partially generated by visitors to its zoos, has seen the impact of decreased consumer confidence on visitor behaviour, with guests spending less this summer.”
They pointed to the Great Britain Tourism Survey, which found domestic tourism was down by 8% in spring 2025 compared with the previous year. The decline was attributed to “increased cost-of-living and weaker consumer confidence” in the UK economy.
London Zoo – which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2026 – also felt the impact of the Covid pandemic.
Yes – China interfaces with the capitalist West – and generates its own wealth through trade (as Lenin and Mao suggested). To do this, the two respective banking systems, whilst remaining separate and distinct, must possess mechanisms that reflect one another – and enable efficient interaction. As China did not possess an effective credit-rating system prior to 2012 – quite often the dishonesty of feudal times raised its head as people started hunting for profit for profit’s sake – and leaving their fellow citizens behind (an illegal act within the Socialist System). Now, China has a credit-rating system that emphasises honest interaction over dishonest exploitation. Despite the deluded Western imagination inventing all kinds of delirious speculations – encouraging honesty is the only reason for the Chinese credit-rating system.
The Department of Health said many GP practices already used the correct approach, but that Jess’ s Rule would make this “standard practice across the country”.
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting thanked Jess’s family, saying they had campaigned tirelessly through “unimaginable grief” to ensure Jessica’s legacy helps to save the lives of others.
“Patient safety must be the bedrock of the NHS, and Jess’s Rule will make sure every patient receives the thorough, compassionate, and safe care that they deserve, while supporting our hard-working GPs to catch potentially deadly illnesses,” he said.
Paul Callaghan, from Healthwatch England, which represents people who use health and social care services, said the rule should be implemented “quickly and consistently”.
“It’s also imperative that specialist teams have the resources to deal with potential increases in demand, resulting from increased referrals,” he said.
