A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

If this is their strategy, why are they trying so hard to look like Reform? Why would voters desperate to stop Reform want to vote for a party that is dressing up as Reform? I don’t get it.

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Five hours apart

FFS. Is there any single thing this government won't disappoint in? Any value or promise they won't break?

In our office in Bath on the 11th November, an event with Peter Apps on Show Me the Bodies - How We Let Grenfell Happen. Tickets available now. constructingexcellencesw.org.uk/event/ce-bat...

Catherine Slessor looks back at the life and works of the pioneer of High-Tech architecture, whose attention to detail and confidence in technology shone throughout a career stretching six decades

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and utterly unforgivable.

The state of Western politics in 2025 becomes a lot easier to understand when you acknowledge and reckon with the plain fact that much of the political mainstream - not just the Trumpian right - is racist.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

TLDR: No

I can't disagree with Dan here...

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

BBC News - Campaign to save buildings to go before High Court

TLDR: No

No particular reason

It's amazing the difference 48 miles can make, don't you think? #TelAviv #Gaza #BreakTheSilence

BBC News - 'Hellhole' flat block to be emptied for repairs.

Helpful reminder: Don't put pictures of your children on social media people.

"Foreign-born UK residents are much more likely to be of working age than the UK-born — and thus less of a fiscal burden. They tend to be healthier than the UK-born, and are much more likely to have a university degree. 75% have lived in the UK for more than 5 years and 90% speak good English."

Hôtel du Lac, Tunis, is now being demolished r/brutalism

Labour would find it easy to campaign against this rank homophobia if they weren’t in the middle of enacting and enforcing a bathroom ban for trans people

Shocking report on BBC News tonight about the consequences of aid cuts and Taliban restrictions on women's education and work on maternal and infant deaths in Afghanistan. There's no doubt, & no excuses - aid cuts kill vulnerable people, especially women and children. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This epitomises Starmerism for me. Scrapping an investment that's proven to reduce reoffending to generating short-term cash while ballooning long-term *cost* (and harm). Prioritising their own individual power and careers over the actual wellbeing of the country they're supposed to be governing.

Read every word of this thread. Far too many people are not taking seriously the violence that Musk is encouraging.

When Ted Heath sacked Enoch Powell he was acting in the face of a majority in favour. Harold Wilson backed him up and called the speech “evil”. Long past time for Keir and Kemi to do the same.

Keep thinking of arguments for why it would be completely insane to dump a prime minister with a huge majority just 14 months in, and also about how if he's not going to say a single word in opposition to the kind of shit we saw today then I no longer feel convinced by any of those arguments.

“Turn the next election into a choice between Labour and Reform and rely on everyone voting Labour to block Reform” is a bad tactic to start with. But it’s a *terrible* tactic when you do absolutely nothing to oppose Reform while in government.

Look, if a dude is associating with Tommy Robinson/Yaxley-Lennon then he is a fascist. This isn't confusing.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

Followers will not be surprised at "clear advice" being, well, not clear.

This is an excellent point, well made.

Imperial College study suggests that even if it can be made to work, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has limited potential. As ever, it’s vital that we cut emissions as fast as possible. There is no magic bullet.

The EU must have a sanctions package ready for day 1 of this fuckery, and it must be announced today There cannot be any room for doubt

Bit of a paradox that it takes a US Democrat to challenge Farage, whereas UK Labour does a decaf tribute act for him
