A tipping point has been reached. Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world. Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months. You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

In case you missed it in The Other Place, Liz Truss has gone properly fucking nuts.

thecritic.co.uk/resident-doc... Stopped taking this wind up merchant seriously after he continuously conflates medical students with junior doctors.

“Many of the DOGE people, Elon, are staying behind too, so they’re not leaving,” Trump said. “And Elon’s really not leaving. He’s going to be back and forth.”

For those who need to know.. let me fill in the blanks

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

A shameful indictment of the international community. Inaction towards the ongoing genocide in Gaza has only emboldened Israel to commit more human rights abuses and ethnically cleanse more illegally occupied Palestinian lands.

The far right are coming for abortion in the UK. People said it would never happen. But it is a natural consequence of the reactionafu anti-feminist politics we have allowed to fester - even if it has been dressed up as "sex-based rights". Time to fight back. www.thenational.scot/news/2519525...

This is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Israel is committing horrific atrocities. Sanctions now.

Nick Clegg's new book is £25, but I'm sure he's okay with us stealing it.

Picture this: a doctor kisses her husband & their ten children goodbye to go to work. She returns home to find that 9/10 children have been killed. Her husband & remaining child are injured & might die. This nightmare is Gaza’s reality. 16,000+ children have been killed there since Oct. 7, 2023.

No aid has reached the starving people of Palestine. Israeli forces continue to block access despite the imminent risk of literally mass mass death of babies & children. Today we MUST make our voices heard - come if you can at 6PM to Parliament square & #fastforgaza #r4today

The UN is now warning that 14,000 babies in Gaza face starvation in the next 48 hrs. The situation could not be more serious. 1/2

Stop Starving Gaza -------------------- More than 300 Israeli citizens who live in the UK call on the UK government to suspend the Trade and Partnership Agreement (TPA) with Israel immediately until it allows food and medicine into Gaza in significant quantities. actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

The alluring claim of the wellness industry is that doctors only understand treating disease, whereas wellness focuses on prevention And yet they are obsessed with attacking two therapies that have prevented more deaths than any other medical interventions in history – statins and vaccines

It is *very* funny that Trump put up tariffs on China so high that even if he backs down in the most utterly humiliating way, they could still be economically ruinous. Totally checkmated himself

Why are children not playing in the street? An FT piece analysing the - very concerning - decline in outdoor play manages to look at every possible cause: screens, spaces, school timetable changes. Apart from one. Cars. It is simply not safe for kids to play outside on streets.

Well said. Worth watching and sharing.

Watching a man get disappeared for political dissent in the middle of the United States, as the opposition party agrees to give the tyrant a blank check to do whatever he wants

Starmer, in reply to Farage in the Commons: "Can I just remind him that Russia is the aggressor. Zelensky is a war leader whose country has been invaded. And we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin."

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

🔴‘Don’t Buy a Swasticar’: Tesla Hit by UK Boycott Campaign Over Elon Musk’s Far-Right Support Electric vehicle producer Tesla has been targeted by activists due to its far-right owner’s interference in British politics bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Tirzepatide treatment resulted in a 37% reduction in the composite risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure compared to placebo, with significant improvements in health status. #health #medicine #MedEd #MedSky #CardioSky #medicaleducation https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056…

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, estimated the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since October 2023 at over 64,000, (64,260) or 2.9 percent of the pre-war population. 59 percent of victims were women, children or those over 65 years old. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.

Just over 6 months from Daniel Hannan's fabled June 2016 fever dream of What Britain Looks Like After Brexit now archive.is/fIQ2T

And who will be held liable for that?

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist. The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy. Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Phillips told Sky News that SpaceX-owner Musk should “crack on with getting to Mars” “I’m no stranger to people who don’t know what they’re talking about trying to silence women like me.” on.ft.com/3PtFqak

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Andrew Norfolk, whose reporting for The Times broke open the story is very good on grooming gangs in his old paper and totally vindicates Starmer. Says as DPP Starmer changed rules so more prosecutions could take place. Musk’s slurs are the opposite of the truth. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Albo saying that people claiming spots on beaches with cabanas is "unAustralian" but I reckon landing on a beach and staking territory that isn't yours is the most Australian thing I've heard of

Starmer: "I think only a few months ago it would have been unthinkable for the things that have been said about Jess Philips without all political parties and the leader of the opposition to call it out in terms...to condemn it..."

If anyone UK-based is confused about the Connor/Elon thing: The best 'old media' comparison is Louis Theroux interviews. Connor has a low-key style that interviewees respond genuinely to. The nice people engage nicely. The arseholes out themselves while thinking they're smarter than him.

In a contemplative mood this morning at 5am. I wish I could tell you I wake up very early to do alpha bro workouts but the early hours are alone time with my thoughts, and I felt like sharing today. Meditations on death and doctoring. Watch ad-free on @nebula.tv now nebula.tv/videos/medli...

Data like this does a good job of explaining why Musk’s deep dive into UK politics should be largely met with a shrug of the shoulders. Unlike the US, most people in the UK just don’t give a shit what he has to say on his dying platform.

It’s been 10 years since the death of Leelah Alcorn, a young trans woman who just wanted to be happy and live the life she wanted. Instead her parents sent her to conversion therapy and even disrespected her in death. All she wanted was to be happy, but her parents failed her.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Dec. 21, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This can be stopped fairly easily. @petergeoghegan.bsky.social has a very good summary of what is required here. If Starmer implemented something like this, he would be making a historic improvement to British politics open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

www.bbc.com/news/article... Good. These companies have failed their duty of care towards kids consistently - whilst making billions in profits. The question is - how will this be enforced? Proper and secure ID verification surely the only way, raising privacy issues. #australia #socialmedia

An impactful chart from @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social, showing the UK's homelessness crisis in comparison to other OECD countries. In London specifically, rough sleeping has more than *tripled* since 2010 And a record 183,000 Londoners are in temporary accommodation - equivalent to one in 50 Londoners

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Ian Hislop for PM.....

The UK parliament is to summon Elon Musk to testify about X’s role in spreading disinformation in an inquiry into the UK summer riots, the Guardian reports. Senior executives from Meta and TikTok are also expected to be called for questioning. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

So exciting! #SUMMIT trial, the first #HFpEF trial of incretin therapy with HF clinical outcomes as prespecified primary outcome. And #tirzepatide reduced CV death or worsening HF by significant 38%! Improvement in KCCQ quality of life by 7 pts, wt loss 12%, hsCRP reduction by 35%! #AHA24 #CardioSky
