Oh wow, that's awkward. #Gullis

What’s your map is great. Just listened to Dwayne Fields one @jerrybrotton.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7zm4...

Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn had reportedly sung disgusting antisemitic songs and been vilely racist at school - it’d be all over every newspaper and tv station in the country. (Of course even the idea of it is ridiculous)

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Palestinians across Gaza are cold and soaked following recent rains. Frustration grows as floods rise and what little they have is destroyed. UN and partners are mobilizing to help, but much more is needed. Remaining restrictions must be lifted to urgently get more aid in.

An LLM-produced essay is tangible proof that a student doesn’t care, and yet responding to it properly requires hour upon hour of careful work. It’s asymmetrical and overwhelming.

A very good analysis of how the violence and thuggery of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and other hooligans before, during and after Maccabi lost 5–0 to Ajax on 7 November 2024 got misrepresented as “anti-semitism”

This is just excellent

Ok. But are there any downsides?

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

This is such a nuanced, compassionate response. So impressive

@lewisgoodall.com on @newsagents.bsky.social last night said Israel has ‘allowed’ a genocide to take place- this is so disappointing. Israel hasn’t simply ‘allowed’ the genocide - they’ve deliberately engineered it.

Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding. He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Compelling read in today's History Can't Hide substack by Kahlil Greene: "Thousands of Gen Z’ers Don't Feel Bad About Charlie Kirk's Murder. Here’s Why." Fascinating, complex, makes you think a little harder about what just happened and why. historycanthide.substack.com/p/thousands-...

The question bears repeating: why are the establishment UK news media continuing to claim that mass anti-migrant protests are erupting across the country when they are simply not?

While relatively small gatherings of far-right protesters are reported as the start of some kind of national civil revolt, much larger protests on other issues are routinely ignored at best, and openly demonised at worst www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/anywhere-b...

This is what Israel has lowered itself to in defence of its genocide: arguing about how thin the arms of children under 5 years old have to be to meet the criteria of STARVING TO FUCKING DEATH.

Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play. ‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith and the BBC.’

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond under the threat of repression to show their opposition to this despot"

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Yes, exactly right

This, to be considered by the House of Commons this afternoon, needs to cause as much political trouble for the government as the welfare bill. Ask your MP to stand up for the right to protest.
