We were warned that the Israeli justifications for killing we saw in Gaza would come to us all.
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

So let’s get this right nasty racist Robert Jenrick has left the nasty racist Tories to join nasty racist Reform and the nasty racist Labour party put out a statement about how he’d opened the borders.

Gotta love UK politics makes you feel right at home here!

I don't want to share any private space with a terf. They would violate my dignity because they don't mind their own business. I've said this before but I think now, more than ever, we should have separate rooms for them. Utter weirdos

Nothing will give me greater pleasure than the destruction of this iteration of the Labour party.
You’d think Labour might want to sit back and pretend to be reasonable while Jenrick and Badenoch knock lumps out of each other, but they decided to try and outflank them in the other direction by regurgitating a far right trope

Virgin Active decided to restrict changing room access based on 'biological sex'. We're acting for, and financially supporting, a non-binary transmasculine person and a trans woman who are suing it for breaching the Equality Act.

We've published the Letter Before Action.

Last summer Virgin Active banned trans people from bathrooms and changing rooms across the UK – so we’re taking them to court

Sting sold the songbook for $200m the tight GIT.
The most "come off it mate" aspect of this case is the VAST royalties Sting has made from I'll Be Missing You, for which he receives 100% of the songwriting even though the actual sample is of the guitar part Summers wrote. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Sting pays Police bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland more than £500,000 in royalties

Fascinating watching people who celebrated the rise to power of an ex-human rights lawyer, as a sign that sensible, law-based politics had returned, now making excuses for their man’s refusal to uphold international law

I heard Starmer described on the radio yesterday as ‘someone who cares deeply about international law’ and like… he doesn’t appear to, guys?

Chris Mason really should be getting far more heat that Laura Kuenssberg used to. We know why he doesn’t but the man is an absolute journalism void so deep in the politics as nerdy spectator sport upholding neoliberalism vortex it’s like an unfunny satire
The deepest analysis of Labour’s woes Chris Mason can offer involves poring over polling %ages, wibbling about comms & halfhearted gestures at y’know, social media & stuff. If you’re after anything about its wildly unpopular policies or strategy of wooing people who hate it, sorry, he’s not your man
Why 2026 is Keir Starmer's make or break year
With devolved elections coming up, questions over Labour’s direction and internal 'campaigning' already underway according to some insiders, where does this all leave the prime minister?
