Thank you for your solidarity, mein Freund ✊

H/t my mate Kevin Cheeseman: ‘Will Will Still still manage Saints next year ?’

Saints go marching to a new beat as Will Still vows high-octane revival reut.rs/4jlFxRV

Doesn’t the personality cult that drove Labour’s failed ‘Momentum’ suggest that ‘eco-populism’ might be another ME-MENTUM ?

Always trust @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social for balance, a seemingly impossible task right now. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Balancing the books on the back of some of the most ill and disabled people in the country is cruel and callous. That’s why I’m supporting campaigners saying these cuts must not go ahead - and the government must think again. #DisabilityCuts

It's a tragic thing to know that because I'm an Israeli Jew, if someone randomly slaughtered me on the street of America, a great deal of people would call my murderer a hero.

Anti-genocide protests happening across Israel today. In Jerusalem Israeli protestors held up images of Palestinian children murdered in Israel’s ongoing genocide campaign in Gaza. (🎥 arixegal) #3E #EndImpunity #FreePalestine

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law? Or just say “we did all we could.” youtube.com/shorts/ClNmA...

It’s simple. yes.

🎥 Our campaign is live. We’re Ellie and Adrian - Green MPs, proud campaigners, and proven winners. We’re standing to lead the Green Party into a new era - with hope, courage, and a plan for real power. #TogetherWeWin #GreenLeadership #HopeInAction

Reform win by exciting their base and driving turnout. Once again, progressive politicians think that in order to defeat Reform you need to pander to Reform voters. No. You need to excite *your own* base. Stop the new austerity. Fix the economy. Rejoin the EU.

So on LBC Kemi Badenoch has just named Georgia Meloni as her favourite foreign political leader … and doubled down by noting their closeness on policy across the board. A former activist in a neofascist organisation. So there you have it…

‘Dimitri with the mouse’, from the Outsiders project. Dimitri said he was homeless and living in a tent. One day he was visited by a mouse who he then adopted as a pet and from that day he had carried the mouse around with him in his top pocket. Dimitri told me that the mouse was his only friend.

Give her/him one of these to make a call. See what happens. Assuming you yourself remember ….

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs. russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

Der grausame Hamas-Terror gehört bekämpft. Aber humanitäres Völkerrecht gilt, mit besonderer Schutzverpflichtung für zivile Orte. Wie soll ein Krankenhaus in weniger als 20 Min. evakuiert werden? #Gaza (1/2)

Other times…5 years ago.

Devastating in every sense of the word.
