This really needs to be said and understood. What makes it worse, if possible, is that it is not coming out of any genuine crisis or emergency. It is a deliberate attempt to whip up anger and grievance in order to capitalise upon it & in Jenrick's case purely to advance his leadership ambitions.

Clueless as usual

Hind Khoudary reports that there are still artillery bombardments, air strikes and quadcopter attacks across Gaza.

Meanwhile in the UK our govt wants to restrict our right to protest against Israels genocide & our govts complicity in it.

Democracy Forward just sued the DOJ for undercover FBI videotapes that would show Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, accepting a $50k bribe to steer government contracts.

Crystal Palace fan tattoos BBC Radio 5 Live FA Cup final commentary on his leg Crystal Palace supporter Lewis Carey has had a tattoo of all the words 5 Live commentator John Murray said in the immediate aftermath of the Eagles' historic FA Cup final win over Manchester City.

Not quite as pithy as "It's up for grabs".

Lecornu has resigned as French PM after 27 days.

Which in political jargon is a ‘demi-Truss’

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Reform UK’s Councillor Dave Poole has put out this bizarre graphic littered with spelling errors.

Our favourite part is where it says Reform UK keeps being called the ‘fat right’.

Ma was orphaned in the civil war and had it rough but as a teen she and her best friend hung around the ground because they fancied the captain. The wife of the coach took pity on them and really looked out for them.

My Ma is from there (she used to wash their kits in the '50s) and I was born near by so it is in the blood.

Interesting that this has come in reaction to the Gaza protests, and not the people setting fire to hotels with people in them.

The Arsenal top of the Prem.

Depor top of La Liga 2.

Sun is out.

Today is a good day.

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

This is a great piece of local journalism - about all those flags going up in Brum.

Some interesting details.

The erroneously named "Campaign Against Antisemitism" says a failure to ban practically ALL protests in solidarity with Palestinians means "the blood of British Jews is on the hands of politicians".

This is horrifying rhetoric in the current moment, from an extremist pro-Israel group

Far-right pundit calls for Israel to torture Greta Thunberg In a truly vile statement, Daniel Lewkovitz said of Greta Thunberg "I want her screaming and begging for it to stop"

Heck of a team you had back then. Loved Rimmer for being one of the main reasons The Arsenal didn't get relegated when I started going as a kid so was especially happy he was a winner that night.

Excuse my language but he really is a total and utter cunt.

So that's not Jagger now?

Oh.

(I might have got it if I hadn't completely and utterly forgotten that song.)

Rolling Stones?

The Israel Foreign Ministry is so inept, it posted its evidence about Hamas links to the Global Sumud Flotilla & circled 2 Hamas officials. Only problem is one of those officials is actually British politician George Galloway. Idiots didn’t even bother to check their own propaganda.
