We always hoped they were kidding
Waiting for the big blowdown
We know the shadows so well
Doing your enemy’s bidding
Heading for the big showdown.
It never changes

I sense Wes Streeting’s fingerprints are all over this.

Why!

Jon Kay says some people will say there can't be equivalence between Palestinian convicted criminals & Israelis taken from a music festival or their homes

Well done to Dr Khaled Dawas for explaining Palestinians live under occupation & it is their right to fight that occupation

Clive Lewis MP: ‘I Never Thought I’d Hear Myself Say I Think My Party is Making this Country Weaker in Preparation for an Authoritarian-Right Government’

Peter Jukes and Hardeep Matharu speak to the backbench Labour MP to understand why the Government is focusing on how to ‘stop the boats' rather than fixing people's everyday lives

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

In case you're wondering whether the Tr•mp is serious about persecuting people for the things they think and write about, consider the case of Mark Bray, a historian who writes about the origins and evolution of antifascism 🗃️

I know I haven't said much about the peace deal. That's because it's a con and won't last and of all parties involved only Hamas are entering into it in good faith.

Total ghouls. 'We have to completely destroy the revenue streams of all creators in order to be able to take all of the profits via AI-generated shite.'

I work as a creator of music for TV/library/film. It is becoming a very dark place. AI is definitely going to do a Skynet on us.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

An image with words on a black background, mentioning that October 5-11 is banned books week, a reminder of the importance of pushing back against censorship and ignorant book bannings

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?
