Tackling the worst excesses of capitalism, reducing inequality, creating real jobs and not pandering to bigotry is now 'radical left'.

How handy having our journalists in Israel but not in Gaza is that every bit of destruction, injury and death in Israel is humanised, whereas the stuff going on in Gaza, is all seen through the lens of 'as alleged by Hamas', from which we should assume it's all lies. Apparently.

'intolerable' in the sense, 'I'm tolerating it'.
"The situation is intolerable in Gaza." UK PM Keir Starmer says the situation in Gaza is getting “worse by the day” and that it is important to ensure the besieged enclave receives more humanitarian aid urgently. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/x0hkl4

In the end, Labour was made safe from people who might have withdrawn support and arms supply for Israel. Imagine the horror of living under a Labour government not supplying arms to Israel.

Interesting Fact of the Day: If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020.

“Gaza is the hungriest place on Earth” due to Israel's starvation strategy, says the UN agency for humanitarian coordination, "stressing that it is the only defined territory in the world where the entire population is at risk of famine." news.un.org/en/story/2025/05…

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

Telling how when the attacker is a middle class, white company director who "lives in a cul-de-sac" it's automatically framed as an "out of character" moment of madness

"At first there was no comment at all from LBC. Then a note appeared [saying] that Myska was ‘presently on Garden Leave due to unannounced circumstances’. Unlike other departures, it had not been preceded by a handover, nor a farewell from the host." sussexbylines.co.uk/politics…

The unfolding catastrophe in Gaza - its scale, its cruelty, its deliberate, systemic destruction - is no longer simply a humanitarian crisis. It is a political and moral reckoning. I have written to the Prime Minister to ask: Do more. Do everything that can be done. And do it now.

It’s insane that hundreds of lawyers & judges (829 to be exact)… …need to write to @Keir_Starmer to tell him, a humanitarian lawyer by trade, his basic duties under humanitarian law. Namely, that Israel is committing war crimes & must be opposed. lawyersletter.uk/

🚨Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

BDS and commitments to arrest Israeli war criminals now. What more evidence of systematic genocide and other war crimes do you need? @UKLabour #IsraeliCrimes #Genocide_in_Gaza #ComplicitInGenocide
