This has not been discussed in parliament. If the British military are aiding and abetting war crimes in Lebanon, and our politicians have not even explained to us why this is happening, in what sense are we living in a genuinely democratic society any more?

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

British schoolgirl stranded in Denmark after return flight blocked over UK border rules Exclusive: Hanne, 16, from Sussex, was not allowed to board flight to London after weekend in Copenhagen

Exactly the kind of story I warned about a few weeks ago. Insane that the Home Office cannot just let back in a British citizen (with birth certificate in hand) who needs to do her GCSEs in a few weeks. Where is the common sense? Can Mahmood get anything right?

Sorry, but it's in person only.

We are looking forward to welcoming Alex Gourevitch in York next week for his talk about "Strikes and the Ideological Bind of the Fair Contract".

A great event co-sponsored by our Centre and @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social

Hugely looking forward to this event in York @york.ac.uk next Tuesday, 24 March, when we'll be hosting Alex Gourevitch (Brown University) to talk about "Strikes and the Ideological Bind of the Fair Contract".

Hosted by @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social, the Department of Politics, and @ycpt.bsky.social

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

The 8th Lanson Lecture in Bioethics – Climate Change, Health, and the Right to a Healthy Environment

Details here:

Looking forward to this event tomorrow at the the Chinese University of Hong Kong -- where along with Lucas Stanczyk and Roger Chung, I'll be one of the commentators on Jiewuh Song's Lanson Lecture on "Climate Change, Health, and the Right to a Healthy Environment".

I can do you one better — supposedly Gordon Brown spent a Prime Ministerial holiday secretly volunteering at a hospice.

Labour Together’s Smear Operation Made This Government The Labour Together spying scandal shows how Britain’s mainstream press looked the other way when dirty tricks were deployed against the Left — allowing a culture of surveillance and paranoia to take political power.

@martinoneill.bsky.social unpacks the story of Labour Together and Josh Simmons to explore a toxic political culture that relies on smears and disinformation to serve the interests of wealthy donors. What does this mean for the future of the UK's Labour party?

Thanks, Adrian! 🙏

Thanks, Chris! 🙏

Thanks, Blain! 🙏

Thanks, Jim! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

... and so -- as someone working in a Philosophy department @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social in an Arts & Humanities faculty @hrcyork.bsky.social -- it means a great deal to me receive this kind of recognition from across disciplinary boundaries, from the national academy for Social Sciences.

Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Well that is just bait to make a chart for @neilwarner.bsky.social

Yes, but it would need some political guts to do it.

No, no, no. *Britain* does *not* “back war with Iran”.

Instead, Britain has been thrown into an illegal war with Iran by an idiotic Prime Minister with who has no backbone, no ideas, and no clue.

Britain’s involvement in this destructive lunacy is on one man - Keir Starmer.

Always good to hear from our former students! 😊

There is such a concentration of spin, blather and nonsense in the “resignation” letter from Josh Simons.

Exhibit A:
Simons claims: “I talked to my board”

Exhibit B:
Baroness Sally Morgan, *Chair of the Board at Labour Together*, apparently takes a different view.

How very puzzling.

The Josh Simons "resignation" letter really is a piece of work.

Warm words for establishment journalists, alongside aggressive dismissal of independent journalism.

Deference to power; contempt for those on the outside.

This is exactly why Labour is now so terminally unpopular.

This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.
