Berlin's city parliament just agreed a city partnership with Tel Aviv. All parties voted in favour. Die Linke‘s representative in fact complained that it has taken so... long, given the plan dates to 2023. So that you know...

Rachel Reeves thinks the economy has to grow to make everyone better off. But is she right? And in a finite world is growth on the scale she wants even possible? youtu.be/Y9Iw1WMSZNs?...

There is only one response to thugs - and that is to stand up to them. So far, Labour is pussyfooting with Trump, pretending that he is a normal US President and not a fascist. They have to change tack, or the price that will be paid will be considerable. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

I always find it funny when people say "Where is the Palestinian Mandela?", because Mandela literally founded the armed wing of the African National Congress, which engaged in militant struggle against the apartheid regime. The US classified Mandela as a "terrorist" until 2008.

Stockpile at least 72 hours worth of supplies! ID documents in waterproof casing, canned food, bottled water, matches, a Swiss army knife, cash, playing cards, medicines and a small radio. Worrying times. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

For shame! The Society of Editors gives the BBC's Jeremy Bowen an award for being excluded from Gaza for 18 months – and barely protesting the fact till now – while Israel has murdered more than 200 Palestinian journalists in Gaza. They're doing 'fantastic work', says Bowen.

After 14 years of Conservative rule, we were told that austerity was over. That was a lie. A statement from The Independent Alliance on the Chancellor's decision to abandon those in need.

This young man had more dignity and integrity in his short career than the thousands of comfortable Western journalists who have remained silent as their governments have armed and funded a genocide.

The thing about government is that it is meant to outlast any political administration and even us. It is meant to be permanent; the bedrock on which we build a country. What happens when a politician treats it as peripheral or expendable, as Trump is? Can we survive that? youtu.be/bmtQuqw_cHk?...

UK free zones are a Tory/Labour experiment in corporate governance, it is beyond serious and needs far more amplification. The UK's 86 free zones contravene the EU's rules on giving State aid for profit motives because it distorts the Single market, creating an unlevel playing field. No rejoining EU

Israel has justified bombing a Gaza hospital because an injured Hamas politician was there. The laws of war only ever seem to be forgotten when it is Israel violating them. Read my latest article here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/would-it-b...

The history of Western imperialism is bookended by genocides: the genocide perpetrated by Columbus against the Taino people after 1492, and the current US-Israeli genocide against the people of Palestine. Plus countless more in between. 500+ years of barbarism and it must be stopped.

Once again, the US, Qatar & Egypt endorse ceasefire deals that Netanyahu tears to pieces with gigantic US bombs. Once again a US President, like Biden, Obama & Clinton before, has been subjugated by Netanyahu. Trump's image as peacemaker is in the toilet www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

And this is why Labour only ever contested the Rwanda policy on grounds of cost. Because, once their feet were under the ministerial tables, Starmer and friends wanted to implement their own version.

Starmer's model of corporate governance means that citizens become assets to be managed rather than participants in the democratic decision-making process. Thread

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning. Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world — and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others. She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.
