It used to be incumbent on states to not simply massacre civilians inside their destroyed houses and we have now moved decisively to β€œIf you stay, you die when we destroy your town to rubble”. It was the wars in Iraq and Syria that established that precedent, not the destruction of the Gaza Strip.

Reminder that a president can't just "announce" a permanent new DHS secretary by fiat; Mullin still has to get confirmed by the Senate. He needs 50 senators to support him (and there's a very good chance he'll get that).

Especially in the Kenyan chapters, the almost erotic charge of the violence is clear: in the imperial imagination, it makes new peopleβ€”itβ€˜s not just cleansing but generative.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Those that believe Churchill was a racist and that a genocide is taking place in Gaza are in the ascendant. The Right – Reform, the Tories, and any who believe in the Britain of the day before yesterday is worth saving – perhaps have one last election to turn the tide. But with mornings like this, it seems increasingly unlikely. How long until that statue falls – taken down for its own protection, or toppled by Prime Minister Polanski on his first day in office?

Inshallah, PM Polanski. If he should remove a statue of Churchill on his first day in office and William Atkinson turns his face into a barnyard door in response, so be it!

So tired of these daily neurotic columns written with one hand furiously under the table

If you doubted that Britain is undergoing a national nervous breakdown, two incidents last night provided irrefutable evidence. Up in Gorton and Denton we saw the Green Party triumph based on a scurrilous campaign of sectarian grievance-mongering. But in London
- indeed, in the heart of Westminster, opposite the same Houses of Parliament which Hannah Spencer is now set to enter - a single, reprehensible act of graffiti showed how the Britain that so many of us hoped we live in has been irretrievably lost. This is a grim, grim day.
Parliament Square's statue of Sir Winston Churchill has been defaced with pro-Palestine graffiti. The words "free Palestine" and "Zionist war criminal" were daubed across it, alongside
"stop the genocide' and "globalise the intifada".
Just as Spencer's votes were being counted in Manchester, a victory won by mobilising similar sentiments among the seat's Muslims, a fellow traveller was using their Thursday night to attack the Greatest Briton.

The UK columnists aren’t taking graffiti, insults against Winston β€˜the Greatest Briton’ Churchill, British Muslims, the Greens and Hannah Spencer well, and so are mashing them all together into a unified enemy. But, like, fifteen thousand fascists rioted in London last year. Seems important?

The degree to which narco organizations are the utter opposite of communism, and more accurately described as the end point of unregulated capitalism… is such a dead giveaway to how much this is all just scary word salad.
