Launched The Common Good Economy: a new compass at How To Academy in the beautiful St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... This Guardian headline makes it sound heroic. It’s not it’s murderous.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... seriously? This is beyond Monty Python.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... This is unacceptable. The EU and UK must stop trading with Isreal. Isreal will not stop stealing land and killing non Israelis unless there is a harsh response rather than hand wringing

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is ethnic cleansing not evacuation. Evacuation suggests care, support kindness. This is driving people at the barrel of a gun tank, rocket or using attack drones from their homes in their country

The Democracy for Sale newsletter uncovered how campaign group Labour Together had hired a PR firm to build dossiers on reputable journalists with the intent to discredit them.

More than 20 others were injured in the attack, which came hours after the funeral of the head of Hamas’s armed wing.

www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m... this is so insightful.. something sadly lacking in TB

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... Maybe TB could mention to his financial backers that Isreal behaving so heinously should be condemned?

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... Perhaps TB (Tony Blair) his institute and his tech bro funders could put their shoulders to the wheel and feed some people?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... the unwillingness to consider regret regarding the war on Iraq. To regret his part in that chaos in iraq, Syria, Libya and on and on is the heart of darkness that has led Blair to this toxic rant

www.theguardian.com/environment/... until we stop eating farmed salmon nothing will change. It’s not wholly the appalling conditions that farmed fish are kept in. It’s also the impact that supercharging viruses and parasites have on the wild fish.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... when does ‘accident’ become intent become murder? Isreal continues its killing of medics using double or even triple tap rockets.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... The failure of the UK government to address its citizens needs when it’s Isreal that has kidnapped, assaulted, held without legal basis the citizens of the UK is unacceptable. Especially when countries inc Italy, Germany, Ireland and Canada are considering changes

The chair of US Commission of Fine Arts, in approving the proposed triumphal arch in DC, claimed that opposition to it was "due to a lack of understand<ing> about the history of such triumphal arches" Bit of an insult to those of us who really do know about triumphal arches!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... the US attacking Cuba is what it historically has done again & again. If it wants to use its state power perhaps it could use it in Haiti where its historic messing has left chaos and blood literally running in the streets. If US destroys Cuba it will be another Haiti

www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... Isreal stealing more and more land. They are shameless

This is a really important piece of analysis. Another area of the asylum system that needs urgent improvement, but is only likely to be made worse by upcoming legislation/plans.

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... BBC1 1 o’clock news. No mention of uk citizens being forced onto the floor, arms behind their backs, foreheads against the floor, being abused by an Israeli minister and IDF. This was a direct insult. But BBC decided shouldn’t be covered on flagship day time news

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This level of individual wealth will destroy liberal democracy. This “gluttony” is destroying the planet. Doesn’t matter to these rich as detached from everyone and everything else and they will move to Mars! What are political parties offering by way of rebalancing?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Isreal cares nothing for international law. UK finally says ‘something’ after failing to condemn kidnap of its citizens from international waters.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... It is a disgrace that justice is still not available to the victims of Grenfell. The powerful and rich make sure they push off the time of any redress. They’ll all be claiming, when finally charged that ‘it was all long ago’ and they are old and vulnerable…

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... This should be leading the news. Why isn’t it?

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... the money men always blame someone else. Thames Water is in a financial hole because ‘the money men’ have stripped it. This company is bust and because,what it supplies is fundamental, it must be taken back into public hands.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... international law and even the law of the sea means nothing to Isreal. Until, duel national, individual IDF soldiers and sailors are prosecuted nothing will change

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Hey the Guardian don’t you think you should mention, in this article, falling numbers of nurses from overseas? Direct result of cutting immigration and hostile environment.

i'm saying andy burnham.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... “Israel is not willing to recognise the bi-national, multi-ethnic, multicultural reality of Jerusalem and it is wiping out first and foremost Palestinians – but really anything that is not Jewish, and then glossing it over with this Disneyfied nonsense,”

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Trump acts like a fan boy with horrible consequences for World

Josh Simons? Josh Simons of Labour Together? Josh Simons of 'send all the asylum seekers to a Scottish island'? Josh Simons of paying hacks to stalk and discredit journalists? Josh Simons of nobody owes his seat to the Starmer-McSweeney project more? Well, okay, if you insist...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Do Labour Together think they can “run” Andy Burnham as the ran Kier?

No place for the Mandelson affair in Streeting’s otherwise by-the-numbers diagnosis of Starmer’s failings 👀

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... These are all still“Labour Together” members who are uniting to stop anyone from out of their ranks from running for the leadership of Labour Party. They are vicious and feel no shame.

I think this thread is accurate. There is a dark humour in politicians pushing "the market" since the '80s and only now discovering they can't control it.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... how much money has been donated to the Ltd Company ( registered at Companies House) aka Reform? Its a disgrace

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is the antithesis of the rule of law. It is revenge. From the evidence of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen etc etc there is no amount of lives lost that will make Israelis feel safe

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What heinous act won’t Isreal allow to be inflicted on Palestinians? Now they’re not allowing the dead to remain in the ground.

#OtD 9 May 2012 Vidal Sassoon, "anti-fascist warrior hairdresser" died aged 84. As a teenager in London he fought Oswald Mosley's fascists in the streets with his hairdressing scissors, as part of the militant 43 Group. Learn about the group in our pod: workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e...

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough, a man who has inspired me and millions of others not just to see the beauty in the countless lifeforms that make up our precious natural world, but to acknowledge my own responsibility to preserve and protect it. Thank you, Sir David.

If Labour react to this pattern by saying "we need to win back votes from Reform" they risk making a major misdiagnosis, one which could make their current troubles even worse.

Stop the clock! Who had two days-from-report-to-grifting-dickheads-pushing-ivermectin for the hantavirus outbreak?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Does Isreal ever adhere to the law? This is kidnapping on the high seas.

@natashadevon.bsky.social hits the nail on the head with pragmatism, empathy and, for some, a truth that many do not understand.

Why do universities behave so cowardly? Why are they throwing propalestinians and minorities and trans people under the bus?

Today’s newsletter: the United Kingdom doesn’t have the antiracism movement that its politicians, or much of the British Jewish community, thinks it does:
