Of all the stupid stabbing yourself in the eye things going on right now, doing a land deal with an irretrievably treacherous expansionist war-mongering dictator has got to be the most stupid self stab of all, what is the point of history if we can't learn from it

This would be a cruel and inhumane policy from any govt, the fact it's from a performative Labour govt is jaw dropping. It creates needless suffering and it won't work www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Everyone! Stop whatever you're doing and take a moment to appreciate this handsome little fella I met in the park who was generous enough to allow me to film him as he enjoyed some walnuts #squirrels #squirrel #Photography #sqrlpix #animals #Nature #AnimalLovers #cute #SquirrelAppreciationDay

Incredible from Bishop Budde: "We don't have to go to the highest extremes of contempt when we are in a position of disagreement. I think if we could get that back as a country, we would go a long way in being able to work together to address the many problems that we face." ~AA @maddow.msnbc.com

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

My god, our cruel, immoral and ultimately ineffective policy of criminalising refugees"Bah did not organise the crossing, select the boat, take thousands of pounds from the passengers, nor steer it in a dangerous manner." app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/68884/...

May not be easy but there is absolutely a nice way to do it: accept applications from outside GB, set ambitious targets, process quickly, safe passage, stamp out disinformation and foster a culture of welcome. Labour could also stop appeasing the right

May Assad's exile be eternal. The one thing I heard repeatedly from the people he made refugees was how they wanted to return and rebuild - what a joyous moment for them

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Over 5 years, dementia eroded the father that I knew and made him the person he would have pitied. My visits to his care home were sad and bitter. If there was an assisted dying exit, we would have definitely taken it. But...

Struck by the tragedy and wonderful humanity in this dementia care home. At first glance it's old people dozing in chairs with the telly on. Then you see the care staff - helping a man with his Zimmer, asking a lady about the toy cat she's stroking, holding another's hand while they calm down

The Economist has published a deeply-researched story about car bloat -- and it's very, very damning. "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: www.economist.com/interactive/...
