The Tories have denied me entry to their party conference - no reason given.
I've covered every party conference so far. Even Reform gave me a press pass.
(We recently revealed David Cameron as Foreign Secretary privately threatened to withdraw Britain from the ICC...)
“When Palestinians rise to international respectability or accept international proposals, then Israel runs out of excuses to not negotiate...to not end the genocide or the occupation. Israel deems this a major threat.” - @muhammadshehad2

There's something hard for us, children of the colonised, to articulate because the world is upside down. Europe and its descendants, can't differentiate between principle and episode. This is why Germany (and much of Europe) is doomed to be genocidal. Here is what I mean. 🧵

I am grateful to be a co-recipient of the 2020 John Maddox prize and honored to share it with my long-standing colleague and friend, Anthony Fauci. It is our duty as scientists to speak with integrity, be guided by the evidence and inform the public honestly.

#BREAKING Polls are set to open in 48 hours across the US as the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump attempts to consolidate its hold over the troubled, oil-rich, nuclear-armed, north American nation. Analysts are sceptical the election will end months of political violence.
Sleepy Joe has now won 69,877,922 votes. That’s more than any other presidential candidate EVER.
Previous best was Obama in 2008 with 69,498,516.

Everyone should be outraged. It’s not very good. Not creamy enough, not enough badam or cardamom. Has a strong essency undertone. It’s pretty tough to f**k up burfee.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey showed up today at the protests. He was asked if he would commit to abolishing/defunding the police. Incredible to witness crowd hold him directly accountable. Man did a literal walk of shame.

The protest against racism and discrimination at Bishops, with a stunning list of progressive demands, is one of the more powerful and optimistic moments of this horrible year.
Take a bow, young people. Stunning leadership from the class of 2020 👊👊👊 👏👏👏

Yes, that is a Haitian flag at today’s Brooklyn march - because Haiti reminds us, always, that all revolutions start off as impossible
