Not sure you could have a better example of the determination of a certain type of left-winger to link any form of antisemtism to Israel even when there's absolutely no basis for doing so.

Jansen Ganesh is on fire in this column on the UK’s role in the Iran conflict

Today's column. On the abyss. www.thetimes.com/article/c7f8...

Well done to Sky for correcting this bit of ignorance.

As shown extensively in the Epstein files there's plenty of proof that being rich doesn't mean you have any great insights into the world.

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.

If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

I am not sure I’ll get the same traction here as I did on the dark place but please answer and REPOST and let’s try to build a lovely bookish thread.

The best book you read this year was…

Mine undoubtedly The Elements by John Boyne (please check trigger warnings first).

A third of 16-18 year olds girls say in surveys that they experienced unwanted sexual touching at school. There are several hundred rapes reported in schools every year.

So…Burgundy book changes indicate that you should get full TLR or a specified reduction in role from September.

Can any PT HoDs tell me if they know if they are going to get full TLR from September (or already are getting?)

A chart showing child poverty in the UK increasing sharply if the two child limit remains in place, and falling if it is scrapped.

Why the two-child limit has to go, in a chart.

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

Both my grandfathers fought in the war and my grandmothers served too. Their parents would all have been deported under Reform's policies.

Members of my family were tortured and killed in the Holocaust because countries like Britain said it wasn't their problem. Everyone said never again. And here we are. It's sickening beyond belief.

1. A story. Please read.
Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit.
I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

Today we are closer to the year 2050 than the year 2000 🤯

Your friendly reminder. Don't leave it until after you are rudely awakened Monday morning!

Well now I've seen it and that's definitely what's happened. Again. Incredibly aggressive language in the PM foreword and speech for a set of changes that will *at most* reduce net migration by an additional 100k to somewhere between 250-300k.

Private Eye, spot on as usual...

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Please lecture us more about free speech in Europe.

FA Cup quarter-finals (+ last time they won FA cup)

Fulham (never) v Crystal Palace (never)

Bournemouth (never) v Man City (2023)

Preston North End (1938) v Aston Villa (1957)

Brighton & Hove Albion (never) v Nottingham Forest (1959)

So at least one [up to 3] semi-finalists who've never won it

Perfect, just perfect. 👏 @mortenmorland.bsky.social

Also the collective GDP of the EU + UK + Norway is around $24 trillion compared to $2 trillion for Russia. We have vastly more resources if we choose to use them.

something I keep thinking about is that when I was in the US before the election I spoke to a lot of voters, mostly just chatting on the street in various states, and what I'd not really expected was how apathetic so many of them were, were maybe going to vote for Trump? maybe not? eh, who knows

I keep reading that Zelensky shouldn't have risen to the bait.

The man is human. He's seen tens of thousands of Ukrainians murdered, their cities blown apart & their children stolen.

He was sitting by a man who's looting his country's minerals & praising Putin.

And for 40 minutes, he held it in.

This would be the same Robert Jenrick that said during the Tory leadership campaign:

"If I was an American citizen I would be voting for Donald Trump".

Quote from Kemi Badenoch speech saying UK has been fooled into believing international law alone can keep the peace.

No-one who has, or has ever had any input into UK foreign, defence or security policy believes or has ever believed this. Kemi Badenoch can't stop hallucinating straw men, surrendering to foreign lawyers, presumably while taking the knee.

The aid cut is so depressing. I know it's politically popular but it's going to cause an enormous amount of harm.

It's deeply frustrating that we've never found a way of explaining why it matters to UK voters even though it really does.
