"The Labour leadership contest of 2015 and all that followed was a moment upon which the direction of this country's politics turned. This new party could be another one."

"Now". Only now are these fucking scumbags are getting a bit twitchy, not because they care about human life but because it's making them look bad

Cynthia Enloe: Sunny Singh crafts a distinctive woman's voice, an unforgettable atmosphere, revealing wars' myriad rhythms, unpredictable turns. Reading these remarkable stories reminds me to stay ready to be surprised when trying to grasp how any girl, any woman, anywhere makes sense of her own war

Starting now on Twitch Youan's Friday Jukebox, it's season 2 www.twitch.tv/youan__

Moths in Australia use the Milky Way to navigate up to 1,000 km to escape Summer heat in cool caves they've never visited before and also to return to their southern breeding grounds in Autumn. On cloudy nights they navigate by the earth's magnetic field. Report here. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

‘He ended up in an area where the left is very strong. But nevertheless, he was able to almost hide in plain sight there for a long time in the 60s and 70s.’ Andy Beckett on Nazi war criminal Walther Rauff, Chile and Pinochet, from the podcast: www.lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and...

Quick reminder of Starmer's answer on the one and only occasion anyone in the media has asked him about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein

‘I believe that damaging and destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace: I can only conclude that for the British government, the waging of peace is terrorism.’ Huw Lemmey on Palestine Action, online early from our next issue: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Lovely Youan is streaming again. It's episode 2 of Season 2 of the Friday jukebox on Twitch now. www.twitch.tv/youan__

Another day, another revelation…

I'm back. twitch.tv/geddstation

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

This will be the route and accessible route for the #Nakba77 march for Palestine on 17 May 🇵🇸 The full route will assemble at Embankment Tube from 12PM and march to Downing Street The accessible route will assemble outside St John's Church Waterloo from 1PM and join the main march at 2PM.

🚨 START POINT ANNOUNCED - National Demo - Nakba 77 ⏰ Saturday 17 May, 12PM 📍 Embankment Tube, London Join us on 17 May as we mark the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba and demand our government take action to end the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land.

I thought it important to post a brief blog responding to Robert Tombs’ latest attempt to disparage fellow historians who worked for the Church of England. My response to his TLS article is here: alanlester.co.uk/blog/south-s...

"Germany, despite its historic duty to prevent genocide, remains one of Israels top arms suppliers. The black cross of the Luftwaffe, the air force, is painted on drones which Germany lent to Israel to bomb Gaza" Shir Hever speaking at the UN UN Palestinian Rights Committee this afternoon

Do they care about their political careers? Not as such. They're here for a good time, not a long time. You can see in Liz Kendall's case she's fucking furious and seething with resentment those scumbags in Momentum have made her wait so long to sell off and cash out.

Where we are.

39% of the piss diamonds are loving the fascism

"There are 4 clear things we could do today. We could stop all arms.. we should recognise the state of Palestine now.. we should impose sanctions.. we should support the accountability process" Baroness Warsi on #GMB. Well said.

Caroline Flint: yes starving of over 2 million people is unacceptable, but... Israel has been killing journalists, raping people to death, murdering medics, bombing hospitals, blowing up universities, burning people alive in tents. Flint is an apologist for genocide #GMB

Adam Tooze working through some thoughts on Stuart Hall, Gramsci and conjunctural analysis.

Comrade photographer having the time of their life here

It is plenty bad enough that we’re allowing the US to use it for massive rearmament supplies and Christ knows what else, and that we are at very least providing surveillance over Gaza for ill-defined reasons.

On May 15, Palestinians mark the Nakba. What began in 1948 remains the world’s longest unresolved refugee crisis.

"Its over 60 days now since any aid has been allowed in and people are starving there. People are dying of malnutrition... the population is starving" British doctor Nick Maynard on how Israel is starving 2 million people to death.

Israels ambassador to the UN is confronted with the fact that the so called evidence the IDF has released showing 'terrorist infrastructure' at the European hospital in Gaza is actually water drainage ditches in a nearby school. Israel lies. Again and again and again.

"Israeli strikes killed at least 80 Palestinians across the strip yesterday.. meanwhile the UN has warned 2.1 million Palestinians are now at critical risk of famine or extreme levels of food insecurity after a 10 week blockade" #GMB

"The UN says thsat Gaza is again on the brink of famine. Israel has refused to let food, water, fuel and medical supplies in since early March" And not only has the UK govt taken no action against Israel for doing this, we're actively helping them do it.

Corbs still driving the polprofs into a frothing rage with simply stated truisms. Beautiful

"Gaza is unique in the annals of starvation... In any other humanitarian calamity, a host of other factors complicate the picture, and overall food availability is a poor guide to levels of hunger." www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ma...

this is the best one imo

I have 2FA activated, and it may be a hoax, but I have changed my Steam password anyway maybe you should too.

The thing to note here is that Luke and his mates would be *delighted* with a system of fash Labour rightists and fash Faragists swapping power forever, in a permanent downward spiral. They would be in charge some of the time, and that is the only thing that matters.

The latest racist spasm in UK politics would not have been complete without middlebrow white male pundits rushing to tell us all to calm down about it. The rise of fascism has been enabled at every turn by these people's pathetic incompetence and inability to name what is staring them in the face

Doping and Poping

"Press freedom is at its lowest point ever in history" Tim Davie mentions a BBC reporter being expelled from Turkey. He doesn't mention Israel preventing intl journalists from entering Gaza or them murdering 215 Palestinian journalists over 18 months. Funny, that.

Israel bombed residential homes in Jabalia while the people inside slept. Ibrahim al Khalili reports from the site of the atrocity.

Patients being moved out of the European hospital after Israel bombed it. "A drone also targeted people searching for bodies under the rubble"

There's a horrible irony in a UK govt, led by a former "human rights lawyer", arguing that enforcement of universal human rights doesn't apply outside its own jurisdiction. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
