Oh hey it's another "everyone in the Israeli military should be in prison forever"

This is 100% true: the man who built Andrew Tate's 'War Room' was a trainer for a sales training franchise that stressed ruthlessly excluding potential customers in order to zero in on the most easily manipulated, a concept that shows up a lot in PUA/Grooming/trafficking 'strategy'.

Have sent a complaint in as I'll have to pay on the bus today because who carries around the login details for their bus app? Do the same if you get caught out.

A single week's notice which does not mention that the old app is being discontinued at all, let alone a deadline, with no reminders or in-app messages. Just absolutely shocking customer experience and terrible IT practice too. Some senior managers need a good kicking.

Heads up for anyone using the UK Arriva app. They sent an email last week announcing a new app, which turns out to mean "you can no longer use the old app starting today".

Download and log into the new app while you're at home and can check your password.

🚨 WATCH: Zarah Sultana is suspended and removed from the House of Commons for calling Keir Starmer a liar

"I have a duty to my constituents to tell the truth and the Prime Minister is a liar"

I have stronger opinions but I feel like this is a good intermediate point where we can all compromise and my name does not get added to any more lists.

I have signed a letter to the Foreign Secretary about the escalation of deadly Israeli settler violence in the West Bank and Israel’s systematic demolition of Palestinian homes.

The letter urges the government to make diplomatic interventions and impose sanctions on Israeli settlements.

As with every one of these cases, no person involved in this disgraceful situation should ever again be allowed to work within ten miles of a university or have a position of authority over another living creature.

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

There’s another fleet (39 ships + rising) of boats crossing the Mediterranean to try to break the Israeli siege of Gaza. I haven’t heard as much news about as I did about last year’s flotilla— but then, it’s the same with all news about Gaza. :( Track the boats here: globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

I speak to a lot of people about JK Rowling - many once close friends with her. I was once friends with her. And they all say she is now very changed.

To pretend she is not radicalised, to give succour to her views on trans people, is an astonishing thing for Kezia, as Chair of Stonewall, to do.

Just to be clear here: the Labour antisemitism terror was created offscreen by Peter Mandelson’s protege Morgan McSweeney, working secretly with journalists from the Times to stoke fear and panic. And we know this because Morgan himself has said that’s what he did.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

So the police response to this documented assault is?

Migrants are making false domestic abuse allegations to stay in the UK, BBC investigation finds In the third part of an undercover investigation, the BBC reveals how rules aimed at protecting abuse victims are being exploited.

So this is genuinely the extent of the BBC’s front-page “investigation”: they spoke to one alleged crook and recorded him boasting, one victim of apparently unrelated abuse, one non-immigration lawyer who “thinks” there’s a problem, and Jess Phillips. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so serious 7/

Bonus points if you have some kind of floorplan that indicates function (the ones I can find just have room numbers, with no info about whether Q748 is a server room, a nitrogen store or a portal to the netherworld).

I once again mysteriously find myself writing a scenario involving a physics department.
If you work in a physics department or have any effing idea what is in one, please do let me know.

It's now mandatory for the Telegraph's journalists to support Israel.
