I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Staggering. In fact, almost unbelievable.

It wasn't me. I didn't do noffink.

When you aggregate the comments of various Reform UK candidates, you find they: Hate the NHS Hate immigrants Hate Black people Hate Brown people Hate Muslims Hate Jews Hate women Hate students Hate LGTBQ people Hate the unemployed Hate disabled people Hate everyone ... But claim to love the country.

Surgeon in Beirut describes ‘absolute massacre’ after Israeli strikes

Having my flat photographed before putting it up for sale. Tempted to tell the photographer "You can't tell me what to do, you're not my mum".

If Starmer thinks his silence last night – as Trump's threatened apocalypse loomed – will be forgotten or forgiven, he's wrong.

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

I'm going to bed. I guess Trump has once again got exactly what he wanted today – to be the centre of attention.

Still nothing from Downing Street on Trump's proposed genocide. I *so* despise Keir Starmer.

7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister. The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation. And Downing Street says... nothing. If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

What did this man do to deserve the destruction of his home and property? We sit in relative confidence that a bomb won't destroy our homes – didn't he have the same right? This is the evil of Trump's regime.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Kan'tye West.

As Cato might have said, "America delenda est".

Thinning out my CD collection a bit. These are currently on eBay, account name adeodatus-2008. There are some other bits & pieces there too.

Hmm... If I put up a post advertising the bunch of classical CDs I'm putting on eBay later today, will anyone see it?

Translation: Net Zero threatens the value of our proprietor's investments. The world must cook for the sake of his portfolio.

Jesus shared his pronouns.

Touchy, these journalists, aren't they? (It was Jim Pickard of the FT, who I respected very much, and his absurd post about the Greens' "veering to the left".)

Extraordinary, how even the best journalists fall in line with the corporate media at the merest sniff of socialism. Extraordinary, and disappointing.

Despicable, embarrassing grovelling to a fascist.

Israel is an apartheid state. That apartheid now officially includes the death penalty. Israel has long engaged in mass extrajudicial executions of Palestinians. It's now official state policy.

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon They've displaced huge numbers of civilians... Yet it barely registers. Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.

Today is World Piano Day, unless you're into historically informed performance, in which case it was about 3 weeks ago. www.pianoday.org

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

The Jetsons lied to us

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

If you think Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn’t prioritise naked self-interest over the security of the entire world, you really haven’t been paying attention.

To rebalance our economy and turn our country around - we'll be asking three simple questions. How do we make life more affordable? How do we back the caring majority over the wealthy elite? How do we protect our planet for generations to come? Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran. Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it. When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war? www.forbes.com/sites/peters...

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting. Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government. Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.

This is from 1975.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

The only words I'm interested in hearing from Tony Blair will be delivered from the dock in The Hague.

#InternationalWomensDay UK – some politicians say nice things. In Spain – we'll name a street after it

I'm always slightly surprised at just how evil Tony Blair is. Up to the late 1990s he really made a pretty good job of hiding it. Well done him, I guess.

1. Thread 🧵 Freedom of Movement wasn’t just a policy. It was a simple freedom: the ability to say yes. • Yes to a job. • Yes to love. • Yes to a new life in another country. When that freedom disappeared, something subtle but important changed.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TRIED TO FORCE A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD TO SUCK HIS DICK.

I don't know of any values I share with the home secretary.

This is where I realise I don't know ten C19 opera composers well enough to make a favourites list. 😆

Status: sitting in an EU airport being treated like the bloody foreigner that I am.

I'm currently on Spanish territory and somehow feel just a bit safer.

I'm in Spain right now, reading this morning's news. Will I be getting home at the end of the week? Should I claim asylum?
