Polanski is already Starmer's biggest headache for 2026 Little over a fortnight into 2026 and Starmer’s Labour Party teeters on the brink of oblivion - while Polanski's Greens are soaring. Now, why could that be, wonders @rachaelswindon.bsky.social? www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

America allowed race-obsessed Apartheid era South Africans like Musk and German libertarian nihilists like Thiel to destroy relationships with its closest allies in a year. That’s how resilient to foreign interference ‘the greatest democracy in the world’ is. www.advocate.com/news/tech-br...

Today is the start of a new semester at UNRWA’s Kalandia Training Centre in occupied East Jerusalem. But it is under threat. Recent Israeli legislation would cut off services to the compound – a violation of international law. #UNRWAworks and must be allowed to fulfil its UN mandate.

"Brilliant"

Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Tony Blair being appointed to the ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza is a watershed moment for offender rehabilitation. Perhaps we might see other such appointments soon. Edmund Kemper as a highways inspector. The Crossbow Cannibal might host Masterchef. Rose West, Minister for Children.

AG Keith Ellison on Trump's "paid protesters" accusations: "It's just a lie. I think you could put it in the category of Haitians in Ohio eating pets ... people are outside because they're upset. They're outside because their neighbors are being hauled off."

Emily Thornberry is talking about international affairs and justice. She talks about "a little thing called democracy." We're all old enough to remember when she supported Labour enabling an ongoing genocide. #BBCAQ

If you watch the panorama tonight about pet owners paying extortionate amounts for healthcare for their furry loved ones, do bear in mind that it’s basically the American healthcare system but for animals and that it’s what our nhs would be replaced with if certain right wingers had their way.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

If Kent County Council is Nigel Farage’s “shop window”, it’s becoming clearer every day what Reform UK are selling: a familiar mixture of incompetence and cronyism. https://goodlaw.social/kip5

Exeter Green group leader @dianafmoore.bsky.social has written to the City Council's leader calling on him to reject scrapping elections and honouring his previous commitment that they will go ahead. Full story ⬇️

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

The right’s new hero posts a video of Miami and says it’s Venezuela— then leaves it up

Britain has long sought the removal of the Maduro government in Venezuela, with evidence suggesting that the policy is guided by an interest in the country’s vast oil resources. www.declassifieduk.org/secretive-uk...

Elon Musk has proudly built an AI that can be exploited for what is basically child pornography. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is calling for the execution of his political opponents. And people are… ok with this?

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued an executive order revoking all executive orders by the corrupt Eric Adams signed after September 26, 2024. Israelis are aghast as they paid Adams for more than half of those orders.
