My $30,000 health insurance claim was denied. Then I tweeted about it Public shaming works – but it’s also a sign of how broken the appeals process is in the US health insurance industry

Bizzare and very long article in the @theguardian.com that is only relevant for Americans because they don’t have a decent publicly funded health system and refuse to vote for one. Not sure the rest of us need this advice!

Starmer made the easy decision. A wealth tax would have been hard

Starmer just looks exactly like the conservatives. Very little evidence of the change demanded by voters

Chris Wormald - the balance sheet. In favour:
1. vastly experienced (much, much more than Case). Run two v big budget depts. also held senior role in what is now MHCLG; done time at the centre as head of EDS and heading Clegg office. former head of policy profession.

Day 5 of Georgia protests. Much focus has been on Tbilisi, where 200,000 have been gathering in recent days.

However, this is in Batumi, Georgia’s second largest city. Huge numbers now gathering. Pro-EU, anti-government/anti-Russia protests growing across the country.

Israel allying with ISIS affiliated militants to starve Gaza Israel's publicly declared policy of starving Gaza has many elements. One of them is allowing criminal gangs to run rampage - including ISIS.

Israel is allying to ISIS affiliated criminal gangs to starve Gaza.

You can read about this in the Israeli press.

Why isn't this splashed on front pages in the West?

A photo posted by Lebanese commentator @Sahouraxo on X. It’s nighttime and rescuers are looking around a smouldering crater. The only light comes from a spotlight from the right and headlamps of rescuers. It’s a scene of total devastation The photo was taken by Associated Press photographer Hassan Ammar. It is a daylight photo of rescue teams and medic searching smouldering wreckage between a number of buildings. Some building have been levelled, others have had their concrete structures smashed. Smoke rises from at least one ongoing fire.

Horrific pictures from Beirut overnight after Israel apparently dropped multiple ‘bunker buster’ missiles into residential apartments.

The attack appears to have happened without any warning, around 4am while people and families were sleeping.

Gaza genocide - Wikipedia

This is massive, and still a work in progress.

639 references so far, and counting. More are being added as we speak. Enough reading for a lifetime.

This isn't just a blatant GENOCIDE, it's the BEST documented one in History. There's no coming back from this.

Israeli media: Israel is plotting to colonise Gaza The Western media keeps covering up Israel's crimes - but if you read Israel's newspapers, there is a different story.

Israel is plotting to colonise Gaza.

This is all being openly discussed in the Israeli media.

It is a damning indictment that Israeli newspapers offer more details of what's actually happening than newspapers in, say, the US or UK.
