If you, like me, want to donate money to help the people of Gaza in various ways, but feel overwhelmed by the amount of accounts + the knowledge that some of them are scams taking advantage of people's goodness, the following are orgs and ppl that a person I know is working with:

It's quite wrong to suggest Robert Jenrick is a racist. Racists believe in something. My SKETCH.

Robert Jenrick's Honesty-Dodging That someone as dishonest and hypocritical as the Shadow Justice Secretary was not long ago shamed out of public life is a damning indictment of the state of politics and media in the UK

Agree. His whole career is framed by dishonest opportunism.

“In any properly functioning democracy, someone with the sort of record of dishonesty, amorality and rank hypocrisy of the Shadow Justice Secretary would have long ago been shamed out of public life.”

Honestly I hate Jenrick more than Farage. Far more sinister because of the speed of his transformation from off-the-shelf Tory mediocrity into dead-eyed National Front race-baiter

Dubai presents the hard-right vision of utopia: a place stripped of workers' protections or the right to protest, a place of pure environmental dereliction, a place where everyone drives everywhere, a place where the queer and the gender-fluid are told from birth that they simply do not exist, a place where citizenship is defined along narrow ethnic lines and everyone else is there on sufferance, where the super-rich and well-connected can simply do and consume as they please. A place where the poor are simply cleared out of sight.

The populist right wants to remake the UK in the image of Dubai. We should all be careful what they wish for | Jonathan Liew Politicians and influencers eulogise the emirate as a place of cleanliness, convenience and low crime. The truth is far darker, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

I didn’t think I’d ever say this: let’s hope the Tory party can be saved | Polly Toynbee Britain badly needs a grownup party of the centre right. It won’t come from Badenoch – it may come from a new generation of one-nationers, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

“A better brand of conservatism would do the country good; the alternative is terrifying. But it may be too late and the party too far gone, about to be eaten alive by Farage.”

In a time of hate and rancour, two Jews sought to pray – and were killed. Let Manchester be a turning point | Jonathan Freedland This was a horror but with so much intolerance and antisemitism, no one can say it was a surprise. There are lessons to learn, and that must start now, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

"For you, it’s an article of faith that “anti-Israel” is not “anti-Jewish”. But not everyone is so careful." Powerful and poignant by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social; shd be read by everyone ignoring the PM's call for people to respect the grief of British Jews.

How this information isn’t etched into her brain is beyond me - shouldn’t even need to check - Fundamental to our understanding of our fractured union, the frozen NI conflict, the border, ECHR..
remarkable. And yet with the current crop on the Right of insular & ignorant politicians - unsurprising.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Energy Secretary Ed Milliband brands Nigel Farage and his allies as: 'Investment-crushing, job-destroying, bill-raising, poverty-driving, science-denying, Putin-appeasing, young people betraying, bunch of ideological extremists’

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

1/14

How many lessons we teach kids in primary about respect, love, equality, listening to others, & anti-bullying are ignored by the wider (adult) world….

Once more, trying to find the words to convey the horror.

Once more, failing to do it justice.

The “Ed Davey is obsessed with Farage” takes are weird.

A) The media is obsessed with Farage
B) If the next election looks anything like the polling, it will basically be a progressive/populist bloc election. Labour won’t be Davey’s enemy. They’ll be his path to govern.

From @edwardluce.bsky.social in today's FT.

Imagine being these world leaders and experienced diplomats and just having to sit there and listen to this maniac talking absolute dangerous bollocks for hours. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is real life.

Exactly. This is the way the world ends - not with a bang but with hours of demented, unchallenged garbage.

Rwanda scheme: UN agency warns of new abuses evidence Judges have been warned there may be new evidence from 2024 that Rwanda has endangered asylum seekers.

Yes. The numbers waiting far exceed the numbers that *might* have gone.
Also - stop always calling asylum seekers “illegal migrants”.
& the UN didn’t consider Rwanda a safe place for UK to deport asylum seekers.
