The Tel Aviv derby between Maccabi and Hapoel could not be played today in Tel Aviv as the Israeli fans injured rival fans and the police. The game was abandoned at half-time in January. The Israeli police & authorities have struggled to contain the conduct of fans

Just back from a few days in the Glen Affric area with @tonyswilderness . Beautiful colours, beautiful light. #glenaffric #scottishhighlands

A walker climbing a path out of a forest with many trees in golden auitumn colours wiuth hills in the distance and a cloudy sky.

A Scottish glen with a river winding through it and mountains rising above lit by bright autumn sunlight.

A view from a hillside across a loch to distant mountains, all light by a low autumn sun and under a cloud-streaked blue sky.

Birch trees with golden autumn leaves in the foreground with green pines behind them then shadowed mountains in the background under a blue sky with white clouds.

This really worries me as well 😞

I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 21h

Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to

That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

Mine is starting to bud ; it must be over 45 years old since it was a cutting my mother gave me when I still lived in the Netherlands. It moved country 3 times and house at least double that. It seems to thrive on neglect since we didn't water it the last few weeks; we were away 😊

This is disastrous on multiple levels. We already have a high level of mistrust & people opting out of sharing will hit medical research so hard. I’d also hesitate to encourage people to share their protected characteristics data to monitor equality & diversity because of the plausibility of misuse.

US spy-tech giant Palantir is moving into our NHS to handle patient data, the same company with a troubling record of surveillance and deportations.

Our Tech and Data Lead, Duncan, spoke at Hackney Town Hall as Homerton Hospital considers adopting Palantir software.

What do you think?

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

The Court of Appeal also granted permission for Palestine Action to bring its challenge on wider legal grounds

But we can be in a position as a country where we look at fans history of behaviour and judge whether it is safe to have them there and under what conditions. Being Israeli doesn’t change that calculus
