Israel bans white Western journalists from Gaza (I have volunteered to go there) so it can murder brown Arab journalists with impunity - mind you, I'd say they'd have no qualms about killing us too, if they had the chance. And the West's response? Silence and complicity.

If European expanded defence budgets are spent disproportionately on the defence of Greenland to appease Trump, that is in fact a victory for Russia, whose threats to the West are not targeted at Greenland but in other parts of the Arctic, as well as in the Baltic Sea and in Ukraine.

It is incredibly rare that the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal actually acts against a UK lawyer. So it was a very rare win when they acted against the outrageous conduct of Zahawi’s lawyer. The High Court has now overturned that action. Good news for lawyers trying to silence journalism!

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

It’s important to note the UK has multiple, strong laws against creating both CSAM and generating sexualised images of women, especially for the purposes of harassment. And it has the Online Safety Act, too. This isn’t about needing new laws. It’s simply about enforcing existing ones.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

People wondering whether the US is going to be able to "run the country" of Venezuela at "no cost" might like to remind themselves it's a place one-third *larger* than Afghanistan, the running of which cost the US $2,260,000,000,000. (That's $2.26 trillion).

Been watching the BBC coverage for 15 mins and there's no mention yet of the illegality of US intervention under US law [let alone international law]. Can't help think that Trump's lawsuit is causing them to feel unable to report what is happening properly.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

It is shamefully embarrassing that this hasn’t ended Trump’s presidency. We are not a serious country.
