Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Tony Blair & business leaders miss the point Healthcare is personal, reactive, relies on nuance, often the unsaid things, a look down, a ‘hmm’, a tear, leading a Nurse or Doctor to a diagnosis beyond the presenting symptoms Healthcare is not a product, it’s an art, with artists dealing with people

Reform should never appear on TV without a fact checker. And they should never be able to try & rubbish climate action without someone saying 92% of their external donations came from fossil fuel & climate denying companies. Party for the billionaires. Fact check below from @desmog.com

Just watched Andor series 2 episode 8. One of the best episodes of a series on 20 years, if not ever. Genuinely great, mature and relevant story telling.
