This is really good tbh

Permanent military occupation, as confirmed by the ICJ and by countless legal organizations, is a crime. Settlement of occupied territory is a war crime explicitly delineated by the 4th Geneva Convention. This was, and is still, happening to this day for over half a century.

‘Ennobled’ by Ed Miliband and in attendance at Trump’s inauguration, Glasman remains a ‘Labour’ legislator, whilst others are not on account of heinous sins such as opposing child poverty.

Haunted by this letter I saw in Hamburg last year.

What does it mean if actual, existing capitalism *actually has done* to the public most of the awful crimes and cruelties that featured in the most comically satirical works about it

1400 Facebook accounts ‘laughing’ at this tragedy. ‘That’s real Britain.’

News from the Evil Empire of Academic Publishing: In June Taylor & Francis acquired the back catalogue of Amsterdam University Press' film and media series. As a consequence the majority of the series editors publicly resigned and decided to move their series to / necsus-ejms.org/sale-of-the-...

Evil people: Migrants get free cake! The facts: Migrants do not get free cake. Starmer: We will end free cake for migrants! Starmer defenders: no this is very clever because it reassures voters without changing existing policy Voters: Evil people were right about cake! I think I'll vote Evil.

I mean I'm sure in other places they also try to do this. It's the UK, though, where the media-political class is *so* tightly bound together, that this level of malfeasance and outright fraud against the public is not only possible multiple times, but impossible to prevent from happening again.

Breaking | A Jewish activist advocating for the Global Sumud Flotilla and denouncing the ongoing genocide in Gaza was violently assaulted and detained by Berlin police during the ongoing demonstration.

‘Reverse Midas touch’: Starmer plan prompts collapse in support for digital IDs

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

To what extent is it radicalisation and to what extent is it his real self being revealed? I suspect it's both. Ten years ago he was whitewashing racism as the legitimate concerns of the downtrodden and deriding anti-racists as a cosmopolitan elite. These were not exactly small red flags.

The Labour Chancellor declares herself an eternal friend of a state committing a live-streamed genocide. We are ruled by moral disgraces who are criminally liable for aiding and abetting one of the worst crimes of our age.

Apparently Israel’s genocidal acts are just “daft”.

I know I should know better but I'm always flabbergasted that the BBC covers US politics more thoroughly than Welsh politics. The Guardian had a "how each senator voted in the shutdown" but I've never seen them do that for a Senedd vote.

(bluesky user bursts into Waffle House) OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES??

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Me too. Me very wearily too. (Find it annoying that is, though I am also not from New Jersey.)

Thanks for this Mark, chimes with how I found it – I didn't know the piece but was impressed by the blending of pros, students and community, and found the interpretation so convincing I wondered if it was what Gluck had intended, on some level, all along!

Just as the state contemplates the possibility of a fully-funded assisted dying service, public funding for the award-winning Arthur Rank House Hospice in Cambridge is being cut by almost £1 million pa, risking the closure of nearly half of its in-patient unit. www.arhc.org.uk/protectourca...

💰 PPE Medpro must repay £122m for supplying defective PPE ⚖️ But it doesn’t stop with Baroness Mone. When will the ministers who referred their cronies onto the VIP Lane face consequences? https://goodlaw.social/f2e9

Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young. Here's how a former teacher at his school remembers it

We hear a fair amount about innocent “women and children” killed in Gaza and much less about “men” being killed, as Arab men are depicted much like Black men in media: as savage brutes. I challenge you to watch this video of Yahya Barzaq working with babies and not to cry at his tenderness.

Or White Russians in Knightsbridge 😑

"Saying that you think migration is too high is not racist" I have bad news for you, pet

Happy International Coffee Day! A German word that describes a coffee substitute, usually made from barley malt, is Muckefuck. It essentially means "rotting wood mulch" and can also describe any weak coffee. So next time someone makes you a bad coffee feel free to say "What the Muckefuck is this?"

What is she contributing?

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made an apparent blunder on camera Tuesday when he said Republicans and Democrats should come together and "stop attacking pedophiles.

#UK #TransRights An FOI has just confirmed what all of us have feared: for the Youth gender services, since July 2024, not a single patient has been referred to commence HRT. And 22 have been moved from youth to adult services , also without treatment. This is scandalous.

Tony Blair "should be headed to The Hague, not Gaza." My latest for Zeteo, on the former British prime minister's "blood drenched" record in the Middle East: "one of repeated failures, brazen bias, and mass slaughter". Read/share/subscribe:

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Keir Starmer called politicians on the left calling for a wealth tax, snake oil merchants" "I mean Neil Kinnock, former Labour leader, he believes in a wealth tax" Yvette Cooper, "Well, I think Keir Starmer was saying our policies are practical and deliverable"

It doesn’t even end with a whimper, but with this.

"Corporate Britain is stamped over everything. There’s a 'hub' sponsored by the lobbying firm Anacta, whose clients range from an Israeli-owned arms company to various airlines…. Starmer is the most unpopular new PM since records began. Starmerism has sought to scrub any conscience from the party."

To be fair, at least someone’s honest about what armies are for.

"But also close down half of universities and turn them into vocational colleges just to open the conversation..." I find myself stunned by how the university sector – a central pillar of the British economy – is treated so glibly in public discourse, as if that pillar bears no load whatsoever
