The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Decision takes the total number of new settlements to 69 in past few years as construction binge continues Israel has approved a proposal for 19 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank as the government pushes ahead with a construction binge in the territory that further threatens the possibility of a Palestinian state. It brings the total number of new settlements over the past few years to 69, a new record, according to the far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who has pushed a settlement expansion agenda in the West Bank. The latest ones include two that were previously evacuated during a 2005 disengagement plan. Continue reading...

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers. UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay. This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

Trump's not building a ballroom - he's building a data center. Note that Israel has the same type of data center as well. I stumbled across this video on Substack. This is the best explanation I have heard connecting the dots as to why the tech bros are part of the presidency. 🧵
