This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse. A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

OR you could - admit publicly that Trump is an idiot and you made a mistake; check into detox for a couple of months; apologise to your daughter; donate Twitter to a trust set up to actually run it as a "public square"; use a smidgeon of your vast wealth to compensate the public servants you fired.

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

🏺 Palaeolithic & critical AI intersections... It's easy to forget the immense time-depth of human aesthetics (in fact, depending on your perspective, it's as old as the universe). I wrote an essay on this for the L'Ultimo Meraviglioso Minuto exhibition www.rebeccawraggsykes.com/lultimo-mera...

I asked the PM's spokesman about the aid/energy embargo on Gaza today. We're still doing a trade deal with Israel despite the rights violations. No 10: "You've got the PM's words in the House. I don't have any update on trade negotiations...Humanitarian aid should never be used as a political tool"

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

It's a beautiful day in Kyiv, the sun is shining & the winter snow has melted, but rather than enjoying the first days of spring, people are anxious. Because you see, the frozen land thawing means fighting season is upon us once more, only this time, with no US support.

Regular reminder that there is no reason Labour has to “eye billions of pounds in welfare and other cuts”. It’s more than possible to raise cash with targeted wealth taxes. Austerity is a choice and it’s a choice no matter what colour party is in power.

Bloomsbury, 1933, and each week my father & his pals were going to meetings & marches to try to do something, anything, about the rising anti-semitism in Germany. Everyone was fully aware of what was happening. Fully aware. This was six years before the outbreak of war.
