I’m very vocal about this. Zionism and white supremacy are bedfellows. You are correct in your assumption. When racism or discrimination is suffered by Muslims and Black people for example, it is often ignored. White commentators are given the task to rationalise and sometimes trivialise racism 1/2

Passionate interventions as Jess Phillips, Karen Bradley and Naz Shah - each with deep insights into coercive control - debate the impact of the bill on vulnerable women. This bill cuts across parties and even areas of expertise.

This still gets me every time. Albert Camus' letter to a teacher after he'd been awarded the Nobel Prize.
19 November 1957

Dear Monsieur Germain,

I let the commotion around me these days subside a bit before speaking to you from the bottom of my heart. I have just been given far too great an honor, one I neither sought nor solicited. But when I heard the news, my first thought, after my mother, was of you. Without you, without the affectionate hand you extended to the small poor child that I was, without your teaching and example, none of all this would have happened. I don’t make too much of this sort of honor. But at least it gives me the opportunity to tell you what you have been and still are for me, and to assure you that your efforts, your work, and the generous heart you put into it still live in one of your little schoolboys who, despite the years, has never stopped being your grateful pupil. I embrace you with all my heart.

Albert Camus

Why is there or wasn’t there an investigation into how Toby Young failed to get the requisite grades into Oxford, appealed and only when his dad the baron intervened that they suddenly found a place for him?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I know we only have 2hrs tomorrow (possibly just an hour if we win tonight) but can we do an hour on US-Iran? I feel like complacency is setting in and I can’t be the only one who is worried? Maybe former US diplomat Mark and @ashoro.co.uk can weigh in on what’s happening…

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

One thing this regime has taught us is that a president can do whatever the fuck they want if no one stops him. All that bullshit about "Don't worry, he can't do that because constitution" is being proven to be the lie it is. We are allowing our country to be dismantled by a mad man and his cult.

A British-Nigerian woman who doesn’t see Nigeria as part of her identity got her British-by-birthright passport the year before Thatcher abolished them. A woman who cannot (or worse: refuses to) pronounce her adopted Scottish surname correctly. Are we to be surprised of her ill-informed vulgarity?

Somewhere in Moscow, Putin must be watching with quiet satisfaction. Britain is sending a king to soothe an American president whose own Pentagon is contemplating punishing NATO allies for insufficient obedience. No Soviet strategist could have designed it better.

May I cautiously suggest that if large swathes of people are assuming last nights attempt was faked that’s less the fault of ‘conspiracy theorists’ and more a reflection of the fact that nothing relating to the White House right now can be taken at face value?

Remarkable how accepted the double standard is when it comes to attacking voters. The right can have senior leaders call progressive voters every name under the sun. If some left wing Twitch streamer so much as hints the right aren't all economically anxious saints, we get 150 op-eds about it.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
