#FreePalestine #DeathtotheIDF

I know I've said this before, but if it's hot where you are and you're having trouble getting to sleep, do NOT leave a window open. There are reports of guys dressed up as killer clowns and they're climbing through windows to slash your face.

“We cannot allow political cowardice to stand in the way of human rights. The world is watching – and history will remember where we stood.” greenparty.org.uk/2025/06/21/l...

Doing the big shop on a Tuesday like an absolute maverick

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

On holiday at a ‘white party’ which already felt a little dodge. But it’s just wear white, I thought. But now I’ve seen there’s some kind of ‘punch’ to drink. Worried have inadvertently joined a death cult

This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/etFEdhBg

It always comes back to this. Whatever pretensions we may have about the political system under which we live, Palestine is the issue on which every contradiction unravels, each hypocrisy is laid bare, and all values are rendered contingent and expendable—with our leaders' willing participation.

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.

Gone to the big sand pit in the sky 😞

Hey BBC, I've got a great idea for a show if you want to appeal more to Reform voters…

Grisly way for McKellen to end up, really,

Hope everybody who voted for Israel has left the telly on to watch the news.

Also I got the beta version of this offered and tested it on one of my books out of curiosity. Awful. Deleted it immediately. You couldn’t listen to it. No soul or nuance. Not surprisingly

This is now worse than when the tories were in power. At least then we could all believe that things would be better with Labour. What do we believe in now?

New Fall album just dropped

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

But this manifestly isn't a way to "counter" Reform. It's just an endorsement of Reform. If it's what Glasman believes, then he should simply join Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hopefully @teamlabouruk.bsky.social will also try to copy this policy

Where’s everyone watching the conclave?

What a fight. Justice done. Now move on lads #eubankbenn

Mobland is damn good isn’t it. Shades of succession amidst the gangland stuff

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

This is high art

Paddy McGuiness implies there’s a low-rent presenter of Scottish lineage called Jocky MacWhisky
