Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

NEW REPORT: More than half of the companies that donated to Trump's ballroom are facing federal enforcement actions. Donating millions to kiss up to Trump is nothing compared to the billions these companies have at stake in federal contracts and enforcement decisions.

'We have toppled a political dynasty.' Despite the $22 Million spent by billionaires + vilification from #Trump et al, socialist democrat #Mamdani, committed to social justice, won. Great that hope & love won over fear & hate. Well done NYC! #ZohranMamdani #NewYork #USA youtu.be/9MfBp8xUR3Q?...

Despite the massive benefits of public research & development investments in the UK (£1 generates £8, see thread), the current Labour govt has done precious little to support HE & research. There've been no major research calls. In the past all govts continued support for R & D. So much self-harm.

In a new publication via @theconversation.com, Birhan &I argue, “When famine goes unrecorded, the suffering of entire populations is erased from the world’s moral and political map. It also weakens the mechanisms designed to prevent such atrocities elsewhere.” theconversation.com/starvation-a...

Living on Earth in 2050 will be excruciating. Any politicians supporting policies increasing how long we live without supporting policies that fight climate change is basically saving you from the pan and throws you into the fire.

“In Ireland, data centers consume more than 20 percent of the country’s electricity. In Chile, precious aquifers are in danger of depletion. In South Africa, where blackouts have long been routine, data centers are further taxing the national grid.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

This will end badly. The #NobelPeace Committee often gets it very wrong. Remember Henry Kissinger in 1973, Obama in 2009 & Abiy Ahmed in 2019? How can the Nobel peace committee award this prize to an opposition leader who sides with Trump and Netanyahu, and has invited them to invade #Venezuela?
