The BBC is in civil war over Israel and Palestine.
BBC journalists are in revolt over what they call "systematic Israeli propaganda" churned out by the Corporation.

Every word of this.
Today on #PoliticsLive I spoke out against the Conservatives’ attempt to gerrymander elections with compulsory voter ID.
The chances of you falling victim to voter impersonation in a GE are the same as being hit by lightning 54 times in a row.
It's blatant voter suppression.

Dismayed by attitude of @theRSAorg management. We launched the Future of Work Centre when I was the RSA's Director of Economics. We also championed participatory democracy with the Citizens Economic Council. This hypocrisy undermines the RSA's credibility. I support @RsaUnion.
We’re the RSA union, a majority collective of staff working with @IWGBunion towards recognition. You can find out more about why we’re seeking recognition in today’s @ObserverUK by @_tomwall and here’s a short🧵on how you can support us 1/6

New poll reveals 44% of people think Rishi Sunak would be doing a better job as PM than Liz Truss, just behind Larry the Cat on 61% and ‘a boiled egg’ on 53%.

A really great day developing our #NEIRF project looking at #Cooperatives to stock and bundle, with our partners @CmsCooperative @GowerHenry what a venue and view, plus managed to take in a @GFI_green workshop @HelenAvery123

Don’t weaken ‘green Brexit’ farm subsidies, warn former environment ministers @michaelgove, @pow_rebecca & Villiers. The backlash against threats to the new subsidy regime for England (ELMS) has broadened to senior Tory figures as well as green groups. thetimes.co.uk/article/dont-…

Throughout their parliamentary careers, Truss and Kwarteng have been demanding that we "Let the markets decide".
The markets have decided that they are dangerous fanatics.

Deeply disappointing from Labour leadership & makes mockery of party democracy. The old politics simply can't rise to the climate & economic challenges we face. And failure to address them risks more giving up on political process, and further advances of authoritarian far right

The best way to create growth is to redistribute wealth from the rich, who don’t spend their excess cash, to those on low incomes who need to spend all they have to enjoy a decent standard of living. Kwarteng is proposing the exact opposite, so he is not supporting growth.

If you’re a Tory MP elected in or before 2015 your head must be spinning today. In the last seven years you’ve had to argue for compassionate conservatism, austerity, getting rid of green crap, net zero, tackling burning injustices, cutting Universal Credit, industrial strategy…

“We do not believe in untrammelled free markets. We reject the cult of selfish individualism. We see rigid dogma + ideology not just as needless but dangerous. True conservatism means respect for the local +national institutions that bind us together.” Conservative manifesto 2017

Odey employs Kwarteng.
Odey bankrolls Brexit.
Brexit destabilises UK.
Kwarteng becomes Chancellor.
Odey bets against GBP.
Kwarteng destabilises GBP.
Odey reaps enormous rewards.
Do you see how it works yet? And this is just one example, of many.

Back to the future.
The idea that we must sacrifice Nature for economic growth is a frame that I thought we’d got past.
Seems not.
Rather than writing it again, here’s a piece I did back in 2013.
Just as true now, but sadly still needing to repeat
