The BBC and Home Secretary conveniently ignoring *why* anti-genocide protesters were out on the streets the same day as the Manchester attack: Because Israel had just abducted hundreds of activists, including Britons, trying to break its illegal starvation-siege of Gaza.

"Last Wednesday evening, when news broke that Keir Starmer had removed the whip from four backbenchers, I found myself thinking of that teacher who lost his temper more often than anyone I had ever met - and who we weren’t scared of even slightly." On the difference between fragility and strength.

Keir Starmer needs to learn the difference between strength and fragility. Also this week: Australia’s illusory straight line boundaries; and what exactly is a heatwave?

When The Times is defending civil liberties against a Labour government led by a former human rights barrister, you know this country is in deep trouble. Just 22 MPs voted against the proscription of Palestine Action. The rest enabled it. Shame on them.

I don't think anyone expected him to say anything better. But he'd probably have been better maintaining his usual silence. Iran were negotiating - when Israel launched a war on them. The US joined in - and now our Prime Minister basically says "well they were asking for it.'

If 'centrists' hadn't shoe-horned 'electable' cardboard cut-out Sir Keir Starmer into the Labour leadership, we'd have public ownership of the electricity and water companies, the NHS would be on its way to being rescued, and we wouldn't be arming a genocidal regime...
