Meta censored me over Palestine - again. This time they took down content on Facebook entitled 'Kick Israel out of Eurovision'. Why? For 'hateful conduct'. This is deranged nonsense, which would never be applied to similar demands over Russia 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/meta-censo...

Even Tory MPs are calling out Starmer's support for Israel. People are beginning to realise the savage judgement that will befall all those who failed to do something when they had the chance.

Arsenal were - league runners up 3 seasons in a row between 1999 & 2001 - FA Cup semi-finalists in 1999 & runners up in 2001 - knocked out of all 3 cup competitions in 2000 on penalties - lost UEFA Cup final in 2000. They then won 2 PL titles & 3 FA Cups in the next 4 seasons. We go again!

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

I stand with Kneecap. As long as the British government are actively abetting a genocide they have no moral authority to tell anybody how they should behave. So fuck 'em. Hope the lads keep stirring shit up.

The potential contract renewal of an unnamed Premier League footballer is sickening enough without seeing people go as far as actually basking in it. It's vile. An unnamed club are abdicating their social responsibilities and it's an insult to survivors of abuse and women generally.

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I thought (and still think) that Arsenal have been in a difficult situation with Partey, for various reasons - technical, legal and otherwise. But extending his contract makes him a problem of their own making, it’s not just about him being under contract anymore.

on the triumph of tribalism. the club lens has consumed the way we watch and talk and write about football these days. punditry, social media, even journalism. to the point where performative tribalism has become the only acceptable way of "enjoying" football www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."
