Papers who genuinely care about antisemitism as a bad thing, rather than as a handy weapon with which to berate the left, would not behave like the Times. This isn’t some random commenter on a FB page, this is *Reform’s campaign manager in the most consequential by-election in years*, & it’s gross.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

UN warns that Israel's plan will lead to widespread dispossession of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.

👀🇵🇸 Encouraging news for UK pensioners, armed with cardboard placards … www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

How much of our ££ are this government going to waste appealing, so they can carry on labelling pensioners with placards, “terrorists”? For shame. This government needs a total reset. The enemy is not ordinary citizens with placards. It is people so rich they think normal rules don’t apply to them.

One of my favourite facts about Iceland is that there are about 75 Eagle's nests in the country, scientists know where they are, but because the White-tailed eagle is endangered here that knowledge is guarded like a state secret. So if you ever meet a biologist that knows, he will not tell you.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

No, it isn’t. I’ve had various procedures (including X-rays) in under two weeks. On one occasion *I* wanted to put a scan off and, no word of a lie, the staff member calling me said, “no, we have to do this within two weeks.”
