Israel's changing explanation for the deaths of 15 aid workers in Gaza

“It is absolutely disgraceful – strong language that accurately reflects the culpability of the Department – for the Cabinet Office to continue to refuse to come clean about who Gove and other ministers were lobbied by” – @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reform-uk-...

Good Law Project holds a copy of new NHS Guidance published yesterday and it is clear that Wes Streeting is continuing his war on trans people. Remarkably the national health service is now directing GPs to cause harm to the community. 🧵

I do share some of these concerns.

A Quaker meeting place, a peaceful place of worship. What next, raids on meetings of more than 4 in coffee shops?

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

We know, we're allegedly in a loneliness crisis or whatever. But realistically, sometimes you just end up by yourself whether by choice or circumstance, looking for stuff to do! We put together our fav solo dates in the city. We can be alone together!

UK startups are trying to save cash by scaling back hiring plans, ahead of tax hikes and falling VC funding in the second half of 2024. New job adverts have fallen by 21% as startups tighten their belts and turn to AI agents.

Many European nations and Canada have issued or updated travel advisories for visiting the US. Fewer visits could mean billions in lost spending too.

Brexit was a MASSIVE mistake

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Staggering really that Starmer would find this more difficult than cutting benefits to disabled citizens. No red lines on more goddamn austerity. Just on the supremely idiotic policy that is Brexit. www.politico.eu/article/germ...

We need a wealth tax, not an attack on the disabled.

They. Don't. Have. A. Clue

Will that include wealthy MPs ?

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Another amazing old people's event discovered today in Redding. The good old purple turtle has a matinee on a Sunday afternoon between 3:00 p.m. and 5 p.m. to rock bands playing. Brilliant everybody over the age of 40 no sweaty kids lights when we came out and the bus home brilliant

Not sure what’s newsworthy about this. This is what Reform is. This is who they are. These are the fascistic people they want to recruit. The more Farage denies it, the more we know it’s true.

Feels as if we have that sound bite here in uk

French President Emmanuel Macron has fleshed out some possible missions that could be undertaken by a military support force for Ukraine that Paris and London are working to put together with other nations, in a so-called “coalition of the willing” that could deploy after any ceasefire with Russia.

Listen to the radio drowning on about the onset of covid in the UK and the way that lockdown was managed etc. Just brings back rage out the way Tory mismanaged all the PPE spend mates contracts etc. Partygate and all the lives lost because of dreadful dreadful management

Can Trump be exported to Russia?

Protesters are out in Budapest, Hungary today demanding the resignation of pro-Putin Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Love it!
