By this standard which nobody actually adheres to Jews would be precluded from identifying as Zionist because of what Zionism means to every Palestinian on the planet. Is this standard reciprocal or do are there competing claims on the basis of standpoint which need to be independently interrogated?

Colleague sends me this from the partner leave to remain application they are completing... I had not seen this before. Ask yourself, why would the Home Office need to know how your partner became British?

Super interesting how he has more energy for this than for those far-right marches where people were calling for his government to be overthrown.

The biggest piece of evidence is that he is implacably anti immigration, something only racists do. But the British news media has an ongoing active project to deny that there are any links between these two things, to render it politically incorrect to state the connection.

This is from a BBC article by Kuenssberg - now I know these pieces are meant to be more opinionated, but still. It was studiously neutral on Reform but frames this fight as straightforwardly "Labour leadership wanted to do a good thing but Labour MPs were opposed to doing this good thing". Wild.

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

Heard part of a Guardian podcast this morning talking to Zack Polanksi, and they posed this question to him about the 'unifit to lead' left, how that's the majority view of lots of the British press, and therefore, 'by default' the British public, which is quite an interesting way of phrasing it.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I absolutely despise Starmer and the whole government for how far to the right they have gone on attacking vulnerable people. UK pushing for this shows a complete disregard for the lives of people crossing the channel.

Buying an asset and selling it for more money is the definition of capital gains. The only reason we don't do it is because we bribed the middle class with rising house prices to distract them from the dismantling and selling off of the public realm and the destruction of wages.
