Just waiting for Keir Starmer to say it's antisemitic
For Shamaba Mahmood to join him
And for Lisa Nandy to lie about it in parliament
Shame on all three of them for conflating public safety with antisemitism

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

No imperialist wars of aggression for oil company profits!
This Trump war will in no way benefit average Americans. But average Americans will be asked to spill their blood and spend their tax dollars to seize oil so oligarchs can further enrich themselves with it.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

Just the United Kingdom's largest police force telling the body that ensures criminal cases are handled impartially and fairly, that it's going to ignore its legal advice. Which seems fine, just fine, really.

Was this the "true Streeting" - or is that who we're seeing now? Or, perhaps like Starmer, does he simply have "flexible opinions".
Wes Streeting then: "junior doctors are set to walk out on strike.. instead of ignoring staff, the govt ought to be doing everything they can to retain them in the NHS. That means getting around the negotiation table & resolving the dispute on pay"
Now: ignoring staff & refusing to negotiate

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.
Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.
We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.
