Arson attack at Sussex mosque.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

Astonishingly, I've discovered, the Tufton Street junktanks that shaped Liz Truss's agenda are still operating at the heart of government. Remind me what we voted for again ... This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yet another capitulation to Reform, when all the evidence shows that following the far right agenda is a disaster for centrist parties. Politics 101, which Starmer has once again entirely failed to grasp.

To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this: For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.

1. A characteristically brilliant explanation by @billmckibben.bsky.social of why Trump's attempt to force the EU to buy US fossil gas (please let's stop calling it "natural gas") will fail. Unfortunately, the UK is now locked into US gas dependence. 🧵 billmckibben.substack.com/p/how-the-gr...

4. Liquefied fossil gas has higher emissions than coal. It's a purely cynical scheme, approved by the Tories, but adopted in its entirety by Labour, which meets two political needs at once: appeasing the fossil fuel industry and justifying the Tees Freeport development: another outrageous rip-off.

We brought coffee, an alarm and over 21,000 complaints to Ofcom’s door because Murdoch’s TalkTV is breaking the law, and the regulator is snoozing on the job. Time to wake up @ofcom.bsky.social

🚨 This! 🚨

What the government has achieved above all is to bring people onto the streets in disgust at its disgraceful facilitation of genocide in Gaza. Its authoritarian policy has backfired spectacularly. Try as it might, it cannot stop people caring.

Great news: the High Court has granted permission for a full judicial review of the government's order proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act. Let's hope he government's idiotic and draconian order is overturned.

Barclays joins FTSE 100 peers in warning against bank tax hike. They all welcome corporate bailouts, subsidies; publicly funded infrastructure, low wages for workers; deregulation; erosion of worker/consumer rights; soaring exec pay. Corporate demands disguised as govt policy. It is class war.

Suggestion for Keir Starmer - 1) Recognise the State of Palestine, as it’s the right thing to do, saying it’s the inalienable right of the Palestinians - and that UK stands with France. 2) Then say Israel must ceasefire immediately or there will be instant heavy sanctions. Simple.
