This is insane by Yvette Cooper. Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism. The authoritarian Home Secretary has lost the plot.

9 years since that referendum. We are poorer & yet the prime instigator, who should have been cast out as an idiot, is on the rise in our polls, all thanks to his rich media owner friends. The EU is the greatest peace time project & we are neglecting our part in it. Fuck Farage.

Do not use Premier Inn. I booked (it was a rush, don't ask), a 3-bed room in Cardiff. Here's what they sold me. Here's what I got. Despite a long argument, all they will offer is a 19% refund. Their reason? "Room size and set up can vary based on the hotel and the number of guests."

Tree-burning #Drax power station is UK’s largest single source of CO₂ emissions—and a major air polluter. Yet ludicrously, UK Gov pretends its emissions are zero. Reports on its impact on primary forests have been covered up. Ministers are being played. Again. Great article by @dalevince.com

The people of Iran have suffered under a brutal regime for far too long. But a US President planning regime change in the Middle East feels like 2003 all over again. We’ve seen where that path leads and it does not end well.

“We cannot have nuclear proliferation” says Foreign Secretary. Yet recent Govt decision to upgrade UK’s own nuclear weapons is precisely nuclear proliferation. Breaking terms of non proliferation treaty ourselves means we have no moral authority to tell others not to do the same #bbcr4today

Excruciating to hear Foreign Secretary attempting to make the case that because the UK Government wasn’t involved in US bombing of Iran, it can have absolutely no view at all of its legality - totally undermining rule of law #bbcr4today

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

While the eyes of the world are on Iran, the Israeli military is still slaughtering civilians in Gaza as they try to access food after months of starvation. We can't let the Israeli govt's unprovoked attack on Iran distract us from the unfolding genocide www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The story of modern goods trade in one consumer product. Apparently simple things that aren't simple to make and hence have few suppliers, and a global market which has delivered extreme specialisation to produce more than ever affordably and reliably. And politicians who don't understand that.

Students in England graduate with average £53,000 debt. Total debt £266bn, up to 7.3% interest. Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does. What was public debt, is now personal debt. People penalised for education, can't start family, business. Abolish uni fees.

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

UK Minister says govt stepping up preparations for temporary nationalisation of Thames Water. Must not be temporary, no return to private sector. Water companies have stolen plenty, dumped sewage, unplugged leaks. No compensation, as was the case with Railtrack and Northern Rock.

Until we devolve the Crown Estate, the extraction of wealth from Wales’ natural resources continues. Thanks to Labour, the profits from our rivers and sea beds will go to the Crown. Just as in Scotland, Welsh communities should profit from our own natural resources.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.
