In terms of messaging, this is very positive, and a big shift from the nature-hatefest of the Starmer administration. Mind you, most tree-planting is unnecessary: I'd like to see much more emphasis on natural regeneration. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There were many ways in which the US and its allies could have responded to the horror of 9/11. But by building extreme security states, launching pointless forever wars and restricting domestic dissent, successive governments inflicted more harm on their nations than the terrorists could have done.

On this 9/11 anniversary, let us remember hate and fear drove the terrorists who took so many innocent lives. Hate and fear also is taking lives in Palestine and Israel. And in Ukraine. And in Iran. And in so many places. Let us build a world of love, compassion, and acceptance of others.

Farage would rather stoke the prospect of civil unrest than reckon with Reform’s own conduct and quietly disappear from public life. When accountability comes knocking, the grifter reaches for a match. What. A. Twat.
Screenshot of a Twitter post from an account labelled “Nigel Farage”. The post says: “For six years now, Labour and the Tories have facilitated an invasion of our country. We are on the edge of serious civil unrest. The only solution is the ballot box. Only Reform will end the invasion.” Below is a video still showing a man in a dark suit speaking against a blue background, with the word “WARNED” across his chest.

The backlash against sanctions on West Bank settlers (usually without trying to defend their behaviour because it's indefensible) is pretty dismaying to be honest. The idea seems to be that nobody in Israel should ever face any consequences for anything they do. That's a moral dead zone

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the UK sanctioning West Bank settlements is “a decision that will fall on the wrong side of history.” History tends to put those who violently seize land for ethnic cleansing on the wrong side of it.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Just 21% of voters now believe Brexit has been a success. The same poll found 56% want Andy Burnham to go beyond Labour’s existing red lines, while a youth mobility deal is backed by 57% and opposed by only 12%. Should Britain hold another referendum on EU membership?

There is a simple answer to those who seek to avoid tax in this way. Apply a flee tax to all remaining UK assets such as mansions, land, yachts, supercars, homes, businesses, bank accounts, shares etc at twice the residential rate, or let them forfeit them all. #TaxTheRich

Ed Miliband’s statement on Israel is only a first step. We need to go further: a full ban on goods, services & investment. Labour is still shamefully refusing to recognise the Gaza genocide. We must have a full arms embargo, full sanctions & an end to military collaboration.
