These horrific stories of Israeli soldiers sexually abusing Palestinians who’ve been imprisoned by the Israeli military are part and parcel of Israel’s systematic policy to strip Palestinians of their basic dignity.

The Israeli government is pushing Gaza to the brink of starvation again. Child malnutrition cases continue to rise in Gaza as the US and Israel continue enforcing a blockade of humanitarian aid from entering the strip.

Europeans are very concerned about extreme heat and other impacts of climate change like wildfires according to the results of a Europe-wide survey published today.  It found that many citizens were also underprepared to deal with the increasing frequency and magnitude of heatwaves, flooding, or water shortages in their own homes.

How did we end up with such a depraved elite, folks? What does it say about our societies & how they are run? Bregman is right that we need a moral revolution, and it needs to result in hard & far-reaching change. Everything from electoral reform to taxation. With #ClimateCrisis at the centre.

Wow from Jim BBCR4 #Wato just now of Starmer dismissing FT coverage of Mandelson as an "obsession" & they should "fxxx off"! Glad everybody is catching up with his appalling judgement. Some of us clocked it pre election when he said Israel had the "right" to starve Gaza. Bit of a clue there folks!

Wise stuff from Brown, particularly with the emphasis on #ClimateCrisis. But the UK & EU need to be honest & repent their disastrous double standards on #InternationalLaw. Much work to do to recover trust with the global south.

Sadly Europe's leaders must take their share of the blame for our current slide into lawless chaos. Sanchez is one of few EU leaders to confront the grotesque trashing of #InternationalLaw by Israel & the USA in #Palestine & beyond. As many of us warned, our double standards will endanger us.

Major mistake by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to ape Reform & allow Farage to set the national agenda. Small boats and a million legal immigrants are both caused by Farage's #BrexitDisaster. Labour should have gone on the attack with facts, instead they legitimise Farage & his divisive, faux solutions.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
