Wise words from @doctorow.pluralistic.net "'Post-political' movements are made up of people who don't know what politics are. A 'centrist' is ultimately a rightist, because the foundation of rightism is the supremacy of property." pluralistic.net/2026/07/08/w...

Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

What the Palestine Action appeal decision tells us about terrorism law
An already broad law is now matched with broad ministerial powers

John Finnemore on the French horn/cor anglais: "I was idly wondering why the cor anglais has a French name meaning ‘English horn’, and the French horn has an English name meaning… well, ‘French horn’. I looked it up, even though I knew there would just be some reasonable but rather dull […]

(+ Disappointed Optimist @disappoptimism.bsky.social - 3h
LF) For those that can't remember tiny bits of news from September 2025:
Lord Mandelson failed security services vetting & agency officials went
on the record saying Mandelson was a bad idea.
This was ignored by UK Gov/PM.

The Independent 

Concerns Mandelson
did not pass MI6 vetting
for US ambassador role —
but Starmer appointed
him anyway
The prime minister is facing serious questions after
claims he ignored warnings from the security
services to appoint Peter Mandelson as US
ambassador

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

30th June, if Cooper's order is passed, should be our "I'm Spartacus" moment: if tens of thousands of us declare support for PA, it would make her disgraceful assault on freedom of assembly and freedom of speech unworkable.

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.

So, tomorrow. We have #Labour threatening to Predator drone attack fly tippers, & the #LibDems threatening to fine people playing music on trains as their big offerings to the electorate. In other words, Neoliberal centrist parties have nothing to offer. Vote for real change, vote Green! #VoteGreen
