It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

The ultra-wealthy are only so because of us & our hard work - if they wipe out natural resourses & squander human life for profit how will they survive themselves? Whilst the rest of us suffer for their greed they need to realise who put them where they & stop seeing us as resourses to be exploited

Seeing various articles this morning about issues for children 'starting school' but 95% plus of children are now in settings (including school based ones) way before they start Reception. Their needs are their needs, developmentally. What's required imo is flexibility in curriculum and approach.

screenshot of a tweet from @ceolawyer

Trump announced that there are 1.5 million Palestinians remaining in Gaza that he wants to evacuate to Jordan and Egypt.

The news is all about Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and UAE rejecting Trump's plan.

But you know what's not in the news?
How in October 2023, there were 2.3 million people living in Gaza.

And now there's only 1.5 million, even after all the newly born babies.

That means AT LEAST 800,000 Palestinians have been killed in 15 months.

Eight. Hundred. Thousand. People.

No, it’s not “unfair” for a sexual predator to be openly called out and “cancelled”. Autism or mental illnesses are never excuses for sexual predatory. There is no maximum timeframe for someone to disclose it. It’s never the victim’s fault. Men need to call it out.

What gets to me most is that the UK government enabled foreign states to loot our essential infrastructure, milking it for profit and leaving it in ruins. Those states must think we're insane. The Chinese government would never let us walk in and seize its assets. But we've let it do just that.
