They reported that Othman considered it plausible that Hammarskjöld’s plane had been forced down or shot down near Ndola in September 1961, and was almost certain that key information remained in archives in the US, UK and South Africa. #DagHammarskjöld #UN #Justice #US #UK #ZA

Nearly 200,000 families will be pushed into poverty or deeper poverty due to govt decision not to end the freeze on housing benefits. Budget increased tax on landlords, but no rent controls. Expect landlords to hike rents. Poverty will increase.

There is now incontrovertible evidence that Putin timed his ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine to coincide with Musk's throttling of Starlink and Starshield support to Ukrainian defense, suggesting that Musk is coordinating his actions directly with the Kremlin. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I have written to my Labour MP to inquire as to why Lisa Nandy has not, and is not acting with regard to political appointees to the BBC board. No reply yet. Robbie Gibb, "the invisible man," would appear to be one of the most dangerous people in the country right now. His BBC, (it feels like his)

80% of the Reform UK political donations came from individuals or companies based abroad. Some might not be legal. People not permanently resident in the UK or paying taxes subverting UK politics. What have they been promised in return? Political donations are bribes, must be banned.
