Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

A new low for the BBC's 'political correspondent'. Fascism arrives as your friend & it reads like Mason is very friendly indeed with Reform Ltd. Bringing the BBC into disrepute

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.

Aerial photos from Gaza this past week reveal the horrific scale of destruction Israel has inflicted on the 25-mile strip. The devastation is reminiscent of Hiroshima. Israel’s war crimes continue to mount by the day.

Israeli politician quotes Hitler to advocate for a ‘Hebrew Gaza’ Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler when discussing the push to create what he called a ‘Hebrew Gaza’.

Who is drawing parallels between the Holocaust and the Palestinian genocide now? Moshe Feiglin is: “Just as Hitler vowed to eliminate every Jew and said he couldn’t live as long as one Jew remained, I say:...They must be eliminated.” www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

The real danger in this permacrisis is not the political drama: it’s the risk that nothing changes | Nesrine Malik It is said the centre cannot hold, but what if it does? That’s a frightening recipe for more stasis and more rage, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Labour is running on inertia, legacy, and historical and physical entrenchment, rather than active belief in the party. It has long given up on shaping public opinion, rather following, headless, what cynical politicians have forged, and economic and geopolitical realities have created.

From @theguardian.com: The Israeli government knows how much food is needed in Gaza. It has been calibrating hunger levels for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding starvation.

Great Britain National Insurance Fund Account for the year ended 31 March 2024

The National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of £86.4bn.

Plenty of resources to increase pensions, benefits, compensate the 1950s women.

Govts raided it to fund NIC cuts for the rich, NIC holidays in freeports, and general tax cuts for the rich.

A father’s obituary for his martyred son in Gaza Mahmoud Al-Ghafari remembers his son, Yousef, who was killed in the Gaza genocide. “Israel killed Yousef, snuffed out his dreams, and silenced his beautiful spirit,” he writes. “For no crime other than the fact that fate decreed he be born in Gaza.”

A Gaza father just wrote the obituary no parent should ever have to write—mourning 19-year-old Yousef, “killed for the crime of being born Palestinian.” His words lay bare Israel’s ongoing genocide. Read his heartbreak, honor his son ⬇️ mondoweiss.net/2025/07/a-fa...

Recognition of a Palestinian state should not be a pawn in a diplomatic game By threatening to recognise Palestine unless Israel complies with British demands, the prime minister reduces a right to a bargaining chip and fails to apply real pressure to halt genocide

Will you impose sanctions on Israel? No
End all trade? No
Halt all arms exports? No
Stop all military assistance? No

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?
