Aside from the content of this, I will never understand the BBC's insistence on one sentence paras in non-breaking news articles. Do they think their readers are near illiterate?

How Italy’s Workers Shut Their Country Down For Gaza Hundreds of thousands blocked ports and roadways to demand an end to military collaboration with Israel.

Demanding an end to Italy’s complicity in the Gaza genocide, half a million people abandoned their workplaces, schools, and universities. NiccolΓ² Barca writes that they were inspired by a slogan: β€œBlocchiamo tutto.” (β€œLet’s block everything.”) www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic β€” & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Steam, stodge – and so much suet: I made 10 endangered British puddings. Are any actually worth saving? With many classic puddings on the verge of dying out, I set out to discover which should be back on the menu. It was a journey through some of the heaviest desserts in history

Honestly, just quite a disturbing day - hard not to come away thinking that the online space getting several degrees more mad in recent years played a big role

Starmer v Starmer: why is the former human rights lawyer so cautious about defending human rights? The long read: Given his career as a human rights barrister, it was hoped Keir Starmer would be the PM to restore the UK’s commitment to international law. The reality tells a different story

Good morning, I've written a piece about the prime minister. I spoke to several dozen sources, including government insiders, former legal colleagues and campaigners to ask: what happened to Keir Starmer the heroic human rights lawyer? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Charlie Kirk in his own words: β€˜prowling Blacks’ and β€˜the great replacement strategy’ The far-right commentator didn’t pull his punches when discussing his bigoted views on current events

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk β€œfar right” and showings its readers his views - not β€œcommon sense”, not β€œconservative”, but far right conspiracy.
