If I had a pound for every time Andy Burnham dangled a potential policy being contingent upon winning an election several years away, I'd have three pounds - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice.

Headline: Brexit referendum 'possible' in Labour election manifesto, says Burnham

We are meant to believe that Iran, after blocking the Strait of Hormuz to shipments of crude oil for months, is now suspected of smuggling petrol in the UK.

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.

A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

it's funny because they wanted to get into power so desperately you could be forgiven for thinking they wanted to govern

We should significantly increase the state pension, and then (and only then) peg future changes to inflation.

Red diesel is legal to burn to heat homes, hospitals, and places of worship. As is charcoal! I'm sure their defence will be pointing this out.

The PSNI's assessment was also that it did not expect the parade itself to result in major public disorder. So why was such a huge deployment of Scottish officers considered necessary? 5/8

I shudder to think, if the suspects had been wearing high vis gear as opposed to masks, maybe the authorities would never have been tipped off.

Thank god the Robert Del Naja incident, of holding up a sign, was yesterday. Can you imagine how thinly stretched the counterterrorism police would otherwise have been?

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

At least he didn't record himself on video apparently attempting to sink a boat with people on it, in an attempt to cause political change.

2 years on top of the usual 8 or are they included?

I ask because ISTM that motion advocates for an incredibly specific position, rejecting anything else (even positions mainstream in the BDS and antizionist movements!) as zionism.

Do these questions arise because of motion A3?

OTOH goal 2 of BDS is "Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality", so BDS is certainly compatible with a one state reformed Israel-Palestine.

Non-violent economic tools against Israeli human rights abuses: Organize! Change always comes from the bottom, not the top.

I'm not sure that BDS specifically advocates for a one state or a two state solution? bdstoolkit.org/faqs (from Global Kairos, not BDS suggests such).

In a way I admire John Cleese’s consistency. Fawlty Towers was quite a problematic show.

Anti discrimination campaigner Andy Burnham is going to lose it when he learns about other ongoing discrimination in this country. In fact, his own government...

lol, but what a ridiculous show. "Hahah it's funny how much he hates his wife for no reason". Fucking 1990's TV humour.

lib dems like to simultaneously race bait whilst passing explicitly pro trans policy. I don't know to what to make of them and I don't think they know either.

you broadly make good points but your use of the m word is problematic. please reconsider.

yikes! I've got no other words.

they say fashion is cyclical but perhaps nothing is as cyclical as the rise and fall of Strathclyde

I would refuse to team up with David Blunkett and George Foulkes, but I am not Neil Kinnock.
