Cutting aid to fund defence, Mr Starmer, is both cruel and self-defeating. I agree we need to defend ourselves. But creating a less stable, less humane world is no way to do it.

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.

Israel is fighting itself?

I wish the Pope well, because he dared to speak out against Israel, unlike so many other famous people.

israel is bombing itself and blaming palestinians.

Stephen Fry can't recognise Fascism when it is Israel.

The arrest of 50+ politicians & journalists in police raids in Turkey is an outrageous attack on press freedom and democratic rights. The Turkish government must stop its attempts to silence pro-Kurdish and left-wing opposition. www.turkishminute.com/2025/02/18/p...

This Jewish American shot two Israelis - because he thought they were Palestinians. The victims then thought they'd been attacked by an Arab, and posted; "DEATH TO ARABS". It seems absurd, but exposes the ignored evil of anti-Palestinian racism 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/he-shot-tw...

Israel destroyed entire communities in southern Lebanon.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

Musk's fascist salutes are a signal, showing how far he intends to go. They point to the destruction of democracy he seeks, the impunity, the violent pursuit of power. They point to the empire he wants to build, and to the degradation of all our lives as he sets out to crush our humanity.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
