Necessary Sunday listening: @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social in conversation with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/podcasts-vid...

Totally utterly completely indefensible

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🎉 Huge welcome to our brand new Green councillor in Stroud. 💚 Congratulations @stroudgreens.bsky.social!

“Where is the Labour party we know, they aren’t spending on the NHS & infrastructure” “Labour is spending too much on the NHS & infrastructure. I’m going to have to pay more tax”?? Whatever happens Labour will never win over this ridiculous country. It’s all media driven, listened to by drones.

Not sure why I’m posting this. Perhaps it’s relevant 🤔

64% of Israelis think "there are no innocent people in Gaza." It gets worse. That figure includes the 20% of Israel who are Palestinian citizens. 92% of them disagree. So that means Jewish Israeli overwhelmingly think there are no innocent people in Gaza.

MPs and peers urge govt to investigate how a US private equity company is funding £500m takeover of the Telegraph. Concerns about "Chinese state influence”. Why not the same concerns about the ownership of water, steel, auto, airports, banks, real estate?

One thing Labour should be quite urgently addressing is to end the Tory regime at the BBC. They can’t afford to be magnanimous in this political environment

Labour VS Tory VS Reform when it comes to our NHS. #Labour #KierStarmer

Lib Dems now have 72 MPs. Reform have 5. Tories have 121 as official opposition. There’s been a Westminster spending review - so which opposition party gets to be on the entire @itvpeston.bsky.social? Yeah u guessed it - Richard Tice. We Demand plurality now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

This is the journalist who said Liz Truss delivered the best budget in history …

How on earth can the UK sanction two Israeli ministers yet — at the very same time — continue supplying weapons to the very government they serve? The UK’s position is becoming more absurd by the day. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

More Palestinians killed as they try to collect food. Israels aid distribution system isn't about helping Palestinians survive. Its about keeping them on the brink of starvation, controlling them, moving them & killing them

The cowards at ABC News have kicked out Terry Moran.

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.

This is also an ATTEMPTED major distraction from a failed bill that will affect MILLIONS on Medicaid and Medicare....🤔

Reform party membership drops by thousands in past week www.lbc.co.uk/news/exclusi...

Zelensky versucht wirklich alles, um den Europäern klarzumachen, dass sie den USA und Trump nicht mehr hinterher rennen müssen/sollen. Die USA nicht mehr vorab über eigene Angriffe zu informieren, war auch schon so ein klares Zeichen. Jetzt müsste es die EU nur noch verstehen (wollen).

🚨Just 2% of the population - under 800,000 people sustained the whole of England's blood supply over the past 12 months The NHS has put out an urgent call for 200,000 donors to come forward Book an appointment or register today ❤️🙏👇 blood.co.uk

🚨 Breaking - New BBC political shows, appearing daily in every news slot.

Thoughts?! 🤔 👇👇👇

this is good

As long as reporters in the briefing room and in the rope line etc don’t garbage Trump and Leavitt with this question - why did you pardon J6ers if you care about police safety? - they’ll continue to behave shamelessly hypocritically and won’t face any consequences.

And he also makes up his own words. So out of control toddler-like in so many ways.

Memo to Ed: nuclear is outdated, hugely costly & far too slow. Hinkley Pt C is already years late & tens of billions over budget. Nuclear isn’t zero carbon, it won’t be “always on”, we still haven’t found a safe way to dispose of waste & it poses huge security risks @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social

Seen what’s going down in LA? That’s what happens when you elect a populist. Don’t take your eye off the ball with hysteria over £200 going back to Pensioners. Populism is only for the rich. Paid for by the poor. Hey Nige???

The BBC should not be run by people who have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to a political party. But it is. It’s actually mad! Lisa Nandy, time to get impartial people who have a stake and love of the arts, to run the BBC.

LOPEZ: “We’re less suspicious of our neighbors and the people we encounter on our daily rounds than the hypocrites who would pardon insurrectionists, sow division and send an occupying army to haul away members of our community.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Donald Trump's escalating abuses of both his executive powers and human rights demonstrates why Britain needs the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR enforces our rights and protections in a way which is denied people in the USA. We mustn't lose that protection. youtu.be/mM2V1KnN07Y?...

Here's the Open Statement on sludge spreading launched by us at Fighting Dirty, and signed by many leading figures. The water companies are using farmland as a dump for hazardous chemicals. They mislead farmers, poison the land and threaten our health. It must stop. fightingdirty.org/open-stateme...

Trump appears to be engineering a situation in which he could invoke the Insurrection Act. Democracy (feeble and partial as it is) offends his every instinct, and he will do whatever he can to snuff it out.
