RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.

Another Jan 9 paramilitary march glorifying the Bosnian Genocide is being held in B. Luka, despite court injunctions. OHR too said it would act but Schmidt again lied. And where is the BiH prosecutor’s office to charge the organizers? Dereliction of duty by all. www.vijesti.ba/clanak/67618...

Good that BiH media are asking Qs about how the country’s (now arrested) Security Minister could have ever been appointed in the first place — but some of us posed those Qs to the govt from the moment he was named. Where is the accountability from those who defended his selection?

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

The services homelessness charities provide can be a lifeline to those sleeping rough. I was delighted to visit the Crisis warehouse with the Ministry of Housing & Angela Rayner to see the vital support staff and volunteers give to people sleeping rough in London as part of their Christmas appeal❄️

The US Treasury has imposed additional sanctions vs Bosnian Serb secessionist Dodik’s extended family who are accused of aiding his attempts to circumvent existing measures. BiH’s Trade Min also among those targeted. Still nothing vs Dodik & Russia ally Covic though. www.klix.ba/vijesti/svij...

The war in Syria began nearly 14 yrs ago, lasted through three US presidencies. The rapidity of Assad’s collapse in less than two weeks shows again how categorically wrong & vapid the claims of those who said he was unassailable were. No, we simply chose to keep him power. And shame on us for it.

Without our trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have a minimum wage, maternity & paternity rights, pension provision, holiday & sickness entitlements - victories which have benefited every single person in this country. Stick that in your pipe✊

If I understand, France is in deep political crisis at this point because the right wing PM chosen by Macron tried to pass what? Ofc spending cuts & tax raises. Like they haven’t spotted STILL that making ppl poorer & crushing welfare helps the far right & leads to political crisis…?

South Korea has 2 things not every state has: 1) a constitution that is unambiguous about how states of emergency are imposed and lifted; 2) a critical mass of citizens who remember authoritarian regimes and don't want to have them back again.

Rule of law, culture of accountability, robust civil society, free media. You need all of them for democracy to endure. If any one of these pillars begins to buckle, the rest must supplement its loadbearing role. But if multiple pillars fail simultaneously, that becomes much harder.

Plenkovic’s govt has taken an increasingly reactionary & revisionist position twd 🇧🇦, its constit reform process but also re: history of 🇭🇷 aggression vs 🇧🇦 during the 90s. 🇪🇺 ignores such radicalism among a member state at its own peril, I tell “Slobodna Bosna”. www.slobodna-bosna.ba/vijest/38795...

Nov. 25 marks the restoration of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s statehood in 1943. Earlier this year I visited the medieval Boljuni necropolis, outside Stolac, to reflect on the long arc of history. To remind myself that today’s petty despots & their injustices will all rot away. But Bosnia will remain.

I remember during the Brexit referendum that leading Brexiteers insisted that they were not isolationists and little Englanders. They were team players, but it was just the EU was wrong. But then they wanted out of Single Market… then ECHR… …and now UN and ICC too. They are not team players.
