It’s genuinely embarrassing that a minor sectoral deal with a fascist clown (not irrelevant, not pointless, but definitely minor) is being compared by Keir Starmer with the historic significance of VE Day. UK needs to grow up and do a proper deal with Europe.

If this is what Starmer means when he says “I get it”, heaven help us …

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

🕯️🇺🇦 Zelensky: Kryvyi Rih. An ordinary urban area. Around residential buildings, only civilian buildings. On April 4, a Russian ballistic missile hit right next to houses and a playground, right on the street and took the lives of 19 people, 9 of whom were children.

One of the many advantages of independence is that we could finally abolish this embarrassing affront to democracy. An unaccountable, unelected body packed with party donors and cronies.

"It sounds unbelievable even to me. But it is where we are and the sooner we accept it, the sooner we can organise to change it. Simply consider what we have seen over the last few weeks." Strong piece from @chrischirp.bsky.social on the unbelievable truth of what's happening in US universities.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

UK's Foreign Office has finally noticed things are happening in the USA and updated it's travel advice (as other countries are doing). Under "Entry Requirements", they now say "You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules". So that's it? Nothing about arbitrary arrest & detention?

The Israeli govt’s decision to block food, fuel, and water from reaching Gaza is collective punishment—an undeniable war crime. Alongside cross-party colleagues, I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to condemn these actions and commit to an arms embargo and sanctions.
