Gutted to hear of the passing of Duncan Campbell, one of the coolest, and one of the world’s best ever, crime journalists. I met him a few times recently as he updated The Underworld, his classic book on British crime. Lovely, charming man in the flesh. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

Every bomb dropped, every child killed, bears the stain of British complicity. This genocide is made possible by the UK, US, and EU — arming, funding and shielding Israel as it massacres with impunity. How do those responsible sleep at night?

Tom Fletcher rightly comparing the UN’s silence over Gaza to its silence during the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia in 1995 (also of Muslims). Allowing Israel to carry out genocide unhindered is a “degradation of international law”.

Interesting investigation into Lithuanian weed dealers selling in UK on open web via QR code stickers. This method is getting more common in the UK. news.sky.com/story/the-on...

Good thread. Politicians in power should do what they want to do (the one thing Trump does well) not what they think people want them to do. You’re voted in, get on with it. But this government is so reactive, it’s so needy.

Yup "Kneecap are not the story. Gaza is the story. Genocide is the story," it says. "And the silence, acquiescence and support of those crimes against humanity by the elected British Government is the real story.” news.sky.com/story/kneeca...

Bored of this game where commentators (see right wing media/politicians) pretend not to understand why people who’ve been oppressed for decades, like the Irish and Palestinians, would want to kick out, or support rebellion. Instead they are simply terrorists. Totally mad.

I think some high street shopfronts are cursed. As in the actual buildings. Whatever restaurant or bar starts up there, it’s doomed, an endless churn or failures over decades.

Brave Russia. Kidnapping and torturing a young female journalist, and thousands of other civilians. Only to be rewarded for this by Trump and his posse of dimwits with Ukrainian land and an end to sanctions. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
