There's a bloke on Hampstead Heath, alone, with a silver ice bucket and a very expensive looking bottle of champagne, sat on a bench and watching the sun go down, absolutely living his best life.

I think most Jews should come to see Bibi as the sole person most responsible for destroying the viability of the Zionist project of a stable, democratic, prosperous Jewish state in Israel.

Alex Sinclair wore a kippah showing the Israeli and Palestinian flags for years, until he said a police officer took it from him and cut off the Palestinian flag in April 2026

There's no better person to explain the relationship between oil, power and contemporary geopolitics than Helen Thompson. So I was delighted to get her into the studio to explain the stakes of Trump's war - and the energy politics which might characterise the 21st century.

Amos Oz,"In the 21st century, the conflict isn't between East and West, but between fanatics and the rest of humanity." Unfortunately, it seems the fanatics are winning. How can we fight back?

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

Donald Trump is a global chaos generator. He couldn't give a damn about the Iranians and will walk away the moment things get difficult, leaving a trail of pointless death and destruction. It's all about spectacle for him. Once that's achieved, job done.

This is the standard approach through history: The community of the free. We've always had people insist on liberty, but only for their group, typically white men with property. Progressive liberalism was about rolling out those rights for everyone, a process that is now being reversed.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "...it is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storms, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to steer and sail for one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific ocean of one’s being alone." Thoreau in "Reform and Reformers"

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

The months of October and November, when olives are harvested, hold special significance for Palestinians, who consider the harvest a national occasion that celebrates their relationship and connection with the land.
