Look forward to it! As a fan of you both, are you still proceeding with The Dark Tower? Would love to see your interpretation of that although I know it's a big ask...

I've gone back to reading books instead of streaming in the evenings. Best decision I ever made. You'd swear the world was superheroes and dystopian apocalyptic drama with these services.

Don't worry. He said he's getting rid of the warmongers and fascists after the midterms. In other words he and his entire administration are resigning.

Good for anyone that puts speaking out about genocide ahead of money particularly if they're not rich like Ed Sheeran.

If only there was a Labour government with an overwhelming majority. Then they'd have the power to do something about it.

Until forced to stop, Israel will continue to expand and destroy
Israeli army expands incursion in southern Syria

The Israeli army has expanded its incursion in the southern Syrian governorates of Rural Damascus, Quneitra and Deraa.

An Israeli forces patrol of four vehicles pushed into the al-Amal Farms in the northern Quneitra countryside, setting fires there before withdrawing from the area, our colleagues on the ground reported.

Israeli forces also fired seven artillery rounds at the edges of Beit Jin in the western Damascus countryside, before pushing into the town’s southern entrance.

The army set up a checkpoint nearby and searched several farmers.

Israel has escalated raids and artillery shelling across southern Syria despite US-brokered security talks between Damascus and Israel

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"

Great pod. I'd say it would be insanity for Burnham to call an election with such a majority and 3 years to go. Having been in the post for such a short period it would appear self indulgent to too many voters and he'd have no record to run on.

They tried that in the UK and it cost the right wingers a lot more votes than the left. Maybe the boomerang effect would hit here too.
