A helpfully clarifying intervention here from a politician who is firmly within the mainstream, on what views are unacceptable

New from me: Nigel Farage has called on Labour to emphatically rule out any deals with the Green Party following their decision to equate Zionism with racism.
Writing exclusively in the JC he says: "Britain has no shortage of political differences. We argue fiercely about tax, social care and energy. Those are all legitimate debates.
Equating the existence of the world's only Jewish state with racism is not. It is a descent into the oldest and ugliest of prejudices masquerading as progressive virtue.
I will not tolerate sectarian politics or the importation of fundamentalism into our once vibrant democracy. Neither should Labour."
Speaking to the JC anonymously, several Labour figures are frustrated that their party hasn't emphatically ruled out an alliance.
One former minister told me: "I'm no fan of Nigel Farage, but he's absolutely correct here".

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

A name for the ages.
A four-panel pixel-art comic styled like an old video game. Panel 1: in a stable at dawn, a white newborn foal lies in the straw beneath a blank nameplate. A text box reads "Behold! A legend is born!" Panel 2: at sunset, the foal's chestnut mother lowers her head to touch noses with it, a tiny heart in the sun between them. "MARE: I cannot name you..." Panel 3: at dusk, light falls through a break in the clouds onto the two horses. "MARE: Only the gods can." Panel 4: the foal stares straight out at the viewer, the light behind his head. Below him, a name entry box: HORSECUN, with the ninth slot empty and highlighted in yellow between two arrows.

We're going to be forced to play semantic games and deliberately get lost in semiotics while in the real world, expulsions and killings are still continuing, retrospective articles stating the IDF lied are still being published, and people are still both sidesing. We're stuck in reboot culture

It's cool that we're going to run the 'zionism isn't racism and is actually normal' playbook again, while ignoring liberal Israeli politicians who are regularly going on podcasts calling for the permanent expulsion of all Palestinians and that killing children was actually fine, if not good

To use technical terminology, utter bollocks. It is repeatedly shown that rhetoric like this causes more harm to inclusive communities than migration or differences in race, religion etc. The whole "no go zones" is a well worn, and well disproven, far right trope. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The "antisemitism isn't systemic" argument falls apart when you grasp the security costs borne by American Jews in just about every aspect of communal life. Nazis walking into synagogues with AR-15s are animated by the same Great Replacement Theory espoused by our Christian nationalist electeds.

And as a reminder - vaccine innovations can & have ended the threat of many diseases over the last century (at least technically, barring the hopefully temporary outbreaks caused by anti-vaccine paranoia).
Chart from Our World In Data showing the many vaccine innovations since 1880, in some cases technically eliminating diseases entirely, like polio and typhoid.

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.
