Netanyahu-ism has achieved nothing for Israelis – and come at a monstrously high price | Jonathan Freedland It is the voting public in Israel that will settle their PM’s fate later this year. But all they have heard are promises of ‘total victory’ that prove to be hollow, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

When a sitting president threatens the Pope and the Vatican, it’s way past time to go!

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple.

I wonder what would happen if Hegseth knew that his huge Jerusalem cross tat is the symbol of a movement diametrically opposed to all he supports. The German Kirchentag was founded by survivors of the anti-Nazi resistance to prevent the Church in Germany being hijacked again by far right racists.

8/ None of this means giving up. It means being honest with our selves and facing reality.

Fossil fuel burning must fall hard and fast.

And we must protect and restore ecosystems. The sink matters as much as the smokestack.

The atmosphere measures what we do, not what we promise.

Truly one of the all time great takes

You wouldn't know it from much of the coverage but Reform are now seven points lower in the polls, on average, than they were six months ago

Not only. See my earlier post - or does your definition of the Southeast also take in Devon?

Mind you, we normally use the Waterloo line from Exeter, so we have to take our own food for that stage of the journey.

Overnighting from Paris means that even those who live in Devon (like me) can make it to most of Western Europe without the expense of a London Hotel.

Not necessarily. Travelling on DB these days can be a bit of a nail-biter if you have a connection to make. My train from Paris last Thursday was over half an hour late into Augsburg, where I was scheduled to pick up the NightJet to Venice.

Don’t leave refugees in limbo: Scrap the 20-year wait Imagine living in limbo for 20 years, not knowing if you’ll be allowed to stay in the only home your children have ever known. That is the reality facing refugees under new government proposals. A gr...

Refugees shouldn't have to wait 20 years to know if they are safe. New rules are leaving families separated and lives in limbo.

The company knows just who that somebody is and I'm pretty sure a government that gave a shit would have no trouble prying that information loose.

THE NERVE Among these were a false report about Bradford classrooms that appear nowhere on the internet and aren't credited elsewhere, an Ofsted inspection report quote that doesn't exist, a string of invented or misattributed quotations from Cicero, Livy, Hayek, Burnham, Noah Webster, Walker Connor, even Sir Roger Scruton, someone Goodwin claims was one of his biggest influences. Add to that basic factual errors, one claim that Boris Johnson's was in Opposition in 2019, mistakes about visa breakdowns, misunderstandings about how institutions actually function, and what you're left with is something far more troubling than polemic or spin. This is a body of work that repeatedly attacks the credibility of those in authority, but collapses under even light scrutiny, revealing a patchwork of half-truths, distortions, and, in several cases, claims and quotes that simply don't appear to exist.

Matt Goodwin does not deserve your time… but this review of his book does…

“This is a body of work that repeatedly attacks the credibility of those in authority, but collapses under even light scrutiny”

Sums up the book, the man and the political party.

Totally untrustworthy.
