Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newham’s pension fund from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.

We won’t stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.

Great stuff. Would imagine it'll be a while until he gets a seat on the BBC again, and the tax-dodging billionaires who own the media are REALLY going to get after him now.

Keith had a couple of meetings with one of his managers over the summer

It's bollocks. A lot of pubs, even in Liverpool city centre, close on Monday nights now because no-one goes out. Do these dickheads think people are going to start drinking until 2am on a schoolnight?

Paul Wellens: St Helens head coach departs after two years in role St Helens announce head coach Paul Wellens is to depart the club following the recent conclusion of their 2025 season.

Sad, but can't say it's a surprise, we've not been great this season. He will always be an absolute legend as a player though.

As it's #hillfortswednesday and I've finally managed to retrieve my summer holiday photos from my broken camera, here's Darren Camp in Ceredigion and a (very) distant view of Pen Dinas in Aberystwyth from the same spot

Daniel Levy: "Netanyahu has reneged on these deals in the past & may well be looking for the first opportunity to be able to resume hostilities when he can in Gaza. In the meantime one should expect the destruction, displacement, killing in the West Bank will continue"

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.

...and Israeli bombing to recommence at 10.01am. Probably.

Good luck. I can't be arsed any more as it's pretty clear the people who could do something about it don't give a shit and never will. I'll email you when it's published if I remember.

Dear Yodel. If you're going to deliver a large box of beer with "BEER" written on the side, maybe try knocking/ringing the doorbell to let us know it's arrived rather than just dumping it on the doorstep and wandering off?

Ah, I do like a pint of Brain's, but always find it near-impossible to order one without putting on a Boris Karloff/Zombie voice. Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains!!

I've been doing that for 30 years. Me + Chris C published a shitload of papers in 90s saying shit like this would happen unless something was done. Nothing was done. Shit like this has happened. *shrugs* Pots haven't got any less interesting though eg assemblagejournal.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

Not on here, I'm not eligible as I haven't signed up. Probably, but given the excavation sampling strategies used in commercial archaeology are a complete work of fiction that someone (and I know who) pulled out of their arse in a pub in about 1989, we all are.

I mean I'm sure the rozzers would like to stop bike thefts, but they're too busy arresting terrorists armed with magazines

Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' The British Transport Police will not investigate many categories of bicycle theft, the BBC learns.

Sorry, can't tell you, I've already been blacklisted by some units for whistleblowing, can't afford to lose more clients.

Indeed. Just done a job where only two of the four quads were dug. Presumably the county mountie agreed to this. There is zero evidence to show that this is a valid sampling strategy and, to quote the bard, I am fucking fuming.
