South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state.
The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

Zack Polanski, "Ultimately it does come down to Keir Starmer"
"This sort of chaos is not a good thing for the country"
"You learn as politician that you have to take responsibility for the decisions that you make"
"This is above politics, it is about protecting our democratic institutions"
Ultimately, I understand there are many issues with electoral politics but there is just no way it isn't a net good having someone with this platform speak this plainly about stuff like this.

Could it be that he would be shown up for what he truly is?
Stop hiding behind your public persona Nige, if you say you are fighting the greens, come out and do battle.
FIFA decided to take no action against Israel.
President said "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues."
FIFA has and still bans Russia.
FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.

9 out of 10 countries in the world run water in public ownership. But the government's new Water Bill takes us in the opposite direction.

We had four days without water. We appear to be due no compensation as SE Water have blamed it on "storm damage" for a storm that barely registered in this part of the country. This is a get-out clause to cover for an appallingly-run company. Bring it back into public ownership.

Utter madness by UK governments.
Govt gives things we own - water, railways and so on - to their friends.
Their friends sell us these things back at inflated prices, making huge profits, which go to tax havens, returning no tax for funding public services such as NHS.
Privatisation.

John Swinney's decision to bow to the British Gov's denouncing of Kneecap rather than Israeli artists is embarrassing.
