Maturity is resisting the urge for a gotcha about the comments regarding Barnes and Wright, and recognising that instead she’s said something that is necessary to be said, and this is a first step to recalibrating the conversation away from ethno-nationalism.

Very much enjoying the story of AI bros going to religious leaders and asking them to say that machines have souls, only to be told: a) no they obviously don’t and b) if they did then what the AI guys are doing is literally slavery and that would be BAD.

“No no no!” They cry “AI is only supposed to take people’s jobs, it’s not supposed to destroy our assets?!” *tech shareholders begin to sob, wail and beat their chests* “It’s only supposed to hurt workers! We never intended for it to come for the rentier class!”

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

This is appalling! I cannot think of a single example where selling off something of ours to a large and non-UK investor has improved the product. Whether that’s chocolate, smoothies, water or railways.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

Give Johannes time to grow into it though. Presenting is a craft, it does need practice. Agree Josh was an odd pick. Presumably regarded as a safe pair of hands for the Dads. Emma’s doing well (better than I thought) but needs to inject a bit more tension into the results announcements.

It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

seems they’ve ended up with the worst of all worlds, the motion will pass strongly but with most MPs on record opposing it, because there was a total leadership vacuum for months. feel very bad for Jewish Green members and their friends and allies today

Just so dispiriting to watch the Greens be corrupted by the same poison that took over Labour. All the same shit: the excuses, the mealy-mouthed justifications, the tortured position statements, the deafening silences. Like a historical reenactment.

We need to humiliate and banish crankery from all the mainstream parties of the centre and left. And Labour under Starmer and Burnham is by no means immune from the charge. Antisemitic crankery has been replaced by transphobic crankery (in some cases propagated by the same people!)

A common theme that drives me absolutely wild with elections/polling these days: 1. Right wing wrecks everything 2. Left of centre figure elected 3. Left of centre can’t fix all the damage in 5 seconds so the right wing, who have got 10x worse in the meantime, lead polls again/win next election

Definitely no! Now I’ve looked properly at the picture and realised that she was using (or trying to use) the owl as a prop, then cheer away! (Had the owl just swooped out of nowhere cos it thought her hair would taste nice or something, then I might have had a bit of sympathy.)

Whether you realise it or not, by adopting this motion, the vast majority of British Jews (even the many who are vocal critics of the Israeli government, even a section of those 10% or so of British Jews who consider themselves explicitly anti-Zionist) will see the Greens as an antisemitic party.
