Just when you think you've heard or seen the worst of Trump's regime, he sinks even lower. THIS IS THE BEHAVIOUR OF A PREDATORY PEADOPHILE

I love Geoff Dyer's work. He is full of quiet, wry humour and a sense of decency and generosity of spirit. He also writes beautifully clear sentences that make me sick with jealousy. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

This is not some rabid extremist. This is the Deputy Speaker of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, calling for Palestinian men to be separated from the women and children and killed. THIS IS GENOCIDE Israeli Likud MK calls for killing of 'subhuman' Palestinian men www.newarab.com/news/israeli...

The time has come to declare the US-Israeli GHF outfit (whose purpose is to use food-based blackmail to lure Palestinians to their death/ethnic cleansing) a criminal organisation. The time has come for a total embargo on Israel. This time is NOW! www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

I really want to see this site installation by one of our greatest living artists. I first saw her work almost 30 years ago at Tate Liverpool. She captures something mysterious and magical in the most mundane objects and makes them unforgettable. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

In the words of Terry Pratchett: "A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on." THE TRUTH IS BEGINNING TO CATCH UP. The Genocide of Palestinians by Israel must end now. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I don't know how realistic Monbiot is in this article, but I do know that I cannot support Labour again. I say that with real sadness, as a lifelong Labour voter, from a family of generations of Labour voters and as a former Labour councillor for twelve years. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This isn’t just any Genocide. It’s an Israeli Defence Force Genocide and it targets children as an act of Stochastic Terror. This is the true face of evil.

This is a hugely important petition for UK voters, especially for all of us who held our noses and voted strategically to get the Tories out.

A bold, invigorated and growing Green movement will take seats from every party - not just Labour. Rural, urban, North, South. Across England & Wales. Our message is reaching people everywhere. #BackZack

This is conspiracy to commit murder. Everyone involved in this should be locked up, especially the senior executives who oversaw the organisation. They are running an OCG (Organised Crime Gang), killing vulnerable, elderly people for profit. #Luigiisinnocent www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Labour run Birmingham City Council, backed by a Labour Government is trying to force massive pay cuts on a group of ordinary workers. It's hard to grasp that this is all from the political party formed by trades union members to fight for the rights of workers. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"This dispute is about workers who woke up one morning and were told they would be taking up to an £8,000 pay cut.. almost a quarter of their pay would be removed" Sharon Graham from Unite explains why bin workers in Birmingham are on strike

Why is a Labour Government pushing benefit cuts for the poorest and most vulnerable in society, in the face of very clear evidence of increasing poverty and hardship? Why are we not taxing the richest? STOP THE WAR ON THE POOR

Yesterday in Sheffield. Today in Manchester speaking at People's Assembly. Especially powerful to hear from Disabled People Against The Cuts. Our message is being heard in halls like this all over. Labour are making political choices. It's time for different ones. #TaxTheRich

The data is clear, vampire capital exerts a gravitational pull on wealth; while extreme wealth destroys jobs, corrupts politics and drives inequality. THE BILLIONAIRES HAVE GOT TO GO, BEFORE THEY KILL US ALL, JUST TO INCREASE WEALTH THEY COULD NEVER SPEND. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...
