Spain has made it a serious crime with up to Life imprisonment if anyone sends arms to Israel.

The rest of the world need to do the same.

No weapons for War Criminals.

After Polanski's 5 star performance on QT last night the other telling piece came when Bruce broke off from talk of Nathan Gill because the audience didn't know who he was!

There it was in full view. The abject failure of the msm to inform the public and the rapid shutting down of the topic.

So refreshing to see someone challenge the smug, nasty Reform narrative

Magic Money Tree is a ridiculous and uninformed metaphor/acronym of Modern Monetary Theory. Many people need to inform themselves about MMT before taking the mickey.

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Petit had it right.

I think this is supposed to be some kind of satire, but it's actually excellent comms.

I got into politics to Abolish Bad Things, and seek to continue to abolish bad things.

It's comical. It is Camus level of absurdity, and Kafkaesque level of contradiction.

And it was/has been the question of Europe that has killed it.

Yes. Even Derbyshire, who is one of the best, follows some assumptions and conventional wisdoms. I urge people to read the second chapter of JK Galbraith's book The Affluent Society. It's called 'The Concept of the Conventional Wisdom.'

It is hellish hard to disrupt.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

Of course they want to cut out those subjects. They are that which define each individual as a sentient, thinking, feeling, being, and not merely as a widget or cog in a dreadful money making machine.

How soul less, empty and bereft can the Tories get?

Yes. Right now they look pretty ridiculous. Actually to the point of Camus' level of absurdity.

The judicial oath:

I [name], do swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign King Charles the Third in the office of [judicial role], and will do right to all manner of people after the law and usages of this realm, without fear or favour, affection or ill will.

Jenrick has gone from forgettable nobody to frothing-BNP-styled dickhead. Why does this corrupt little man get to strut around the media blowing his racist dog-whistle?
He should be shamed and shunned out of political existence. We all despise the Tory party for a reason. He’s one of those reasons.

Jenrick has seen an opportunity for advancement and for harvesting votes from the disillusioned, the desperate, and those without hope.

No conviction, no self-awareness, no moral or ethical code. Merely a means to an end.

What a truly wretched, miserable little worm he is.

Conservatives/Reform are demanding we leave the ECHR again.

Here's the response Rishi Sunak got when he said he wanted to do the same thing.

Boos and shouts of "Shame".

Neither. Reform are their replacement in an even uglier form.
