No matter who is in charge. I doubt very much many policies will change with Burnham, especially not in connection with Gaza/Israel.

Kitty paw prints on a Roman clay tile! 😻 🐾 A tiny moment in time preserved in clay some 2,000 years ago when a kitten walked across this wet clay tile which was lying out to dry before firing. Lullingstone Roman Villa, Kent 📷 by me #Caturday #Archaeology

Waiting for the system justifiers on this platform to claim that Geoffrey Robertson KC "doesn't understand the law". That's what all of us who've made these points have been told.

Jeremy Clarkson complains about no village Doctor, no village shops, no village schools, no bobby. This is the same Jeremy Clarkson who loves Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron who made all these things happen with their cuts. They love complaining about what they voted for.

#OtD 19 Jun 1843 a crowd of around 4500 "Rebecca" rioters with blackened faces and dressed as women gathered and attacked the Carmarthen workhouse in Wales, and set about destroying it. It took the arrival of a unit of the British army to disperse them stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9110...

#OtD 19 Jun 1937 oil workers in Trinidad went on strike. It quickly spread across the rest of the economy. A state of emergency was declared and British warships came to suppress the rebellion. More info in our double-episode podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e75-...

The architect of Labour’s cruel plans on settled status and persecution of free speech and protest stays in place. More of the same. Only the Greens can take on failing Labour in Greater Manchester. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The collapse of normality in British politics throws up some hilarious moments.

Any news outlet reporting that Iran has suspended the peace agreement without specifying why in the headline is deliberately helping Israel destroy the peace agreement.

Just a reminder from history that Trans people were also exterminated by the Nazi’s along with Gay people & forced to wear the pink triangle. The way the UK is going one wonders if Trans people will have to identify themselves in this way at some point…🙄

These fanatics cheered on war with Iran. Look at how excited and thrilled they were! Then it ended just as we said it would. These people must be driven from public life and never heard from again.

I’m glad Reform seriously underperformed, and the campaign from Burnham was v impressive. But like the wicked fairy from Sleeping Beauty I’m just going to draw attention back to below x

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

Absolutely disgraceful to hear Reform MP Sarah Pochin dismiss Domestic Violence as a fault of England losing. Can we expect condemnation by Nigel Farage, no of course not because wife beaters are his core voters.

More than a dozen people drowned in May from going in the water unprepared. Next week is going to be as hot or even hotter. Don't be another fatality, think before you dive in.

Violence is slaughtering innocent people, including children. Not damaging the weapons of an Israeli arms company complicit in genocide.

Working-class living standards rose in the 1960s and 1970s. My family got a telly, a fridge, a phone, wallpaper that went all the way up the ceiling and that ultimate luxury, an inside lavatory. That compares favourably to two decades of stagnant real wages.

Eton charges pupils £63,000 a year. That's more than the entire annual salary of an allegedly overpaid tube driver.

It is not on voters to elect a party they fundamentally disagree with, and you will never persuade the majority of people to do that. Most people will just not vote, and it will be Labour which caused them not to. If you seriously want to stop Reform Labour needs to change course...

Who and what is really behind what's been happening in Belfast? Marisa asked me to explain what's been going on

Not a word

In 1999, Jack Straw assured parliament his Terrorism Act was reserved for serious premeditated violence creating "a climate of extreme fear". The only "extreme fear" caused by Palestine Action is to Elbit's profit sheet and to Starmer, who may yet end up in the dock at the Hague.

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year. His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.
