"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today
The Hormuz situation seems so so bad, like gonna-destabilize-half-the-globe-and-tank-the-economy bad, with no obvious resolution even plausible, and it’s still getting the “distant crisis mostly of interest to nerds that will work itself out” treatment in American press
Grim but useful read.

Another solar generation record set today in Britain.
14,426 megawatts were being generated at 11.30 today, delivering 37% of GB’s electricity and contributing to a record low reliance on fossil fuels. Gas accounted for just 2% of electricity generation at that time.
Reminded of Miliband's best line

If they’re doing this to Christian statues on camera imagine what they’re doing to Moslem civilians off camera.
A rum situation where it is the legal profession which has held firm, whilst the political and justice systems have simply given way.
But you can't pardon a disbarment.
The Labour government is not content to have sold a record £20bn in arms around the world last year. It wants to flog more arms to more countries, and it thinks "defence is an engine for growth."
And this is all seen as entirely normal by UK national media.
Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
⚡️🇱🇧 BREAKING: Despite President Trump “PROHIBITING” Israel from striking Lebanon, a fresh Israeli drone strike has just killed at least one person in Beit Yahoun, southern Lebanon, the country’s civil defense told Al Jazeera. 🔸Just an hour earlier, President Trump posted on Truth Social: “the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah (sic) situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!” 🔸The Lebanese army had already reported ceasefire violations before the strike, including hours after it went into place when Israel struck an ambulance in the town of Kounine close to the border on Friday, according to the National News Agency, with reported casualties among the targeted medical workers. 🔸The Lebanese recorded “a number of violations of the agreement, with several Israeli attacks recorded, in addition to intermittent shelling targeting a number of villages,” it said in a statement.

Stealing Ukrainian children, then harassing them for speaking Ukrainian …and threatening older ones with conscription to the Russian army.

On Tuesday, we stood with the residents of al-Bustan in Silwan, outside the District Court in Jerusalem as they fight to remain in their homes. Once again, Palestinian families are dragged into court just to defend their right to continue living in homes they’ve lived in for generations. (1/4)
One thing I will admit.
You can’t fault the enthusiasm and positivity of Reform’s local election campaign.
And their message is getting through as loveable Lee Anderson found out recently.
The electorate are really beginning to understand what Reform UK are all about.

it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist.
100 days in — and we’re just getting started.
Protester arrested yesterday with sign reading: “We deserve a government that isn’t afraid of peace.”
This government is afraid of our fight for our future. It’s afraid of a people’s fight for safety and freedom in our homeland and it’s afraid of our power when we’re organized. (1/3)
A worker died in a Amazon warehouse in Oregon.
For more than an hour the workers in the facility were ordered to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker tried to help, but a manager told him “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.“
EVIL.
