You'll get more relevant facts and incisive analysis in this 30 minute episode, than in a whole week of watching the national news. If you prefer your opinions to come from experts, this is the podcast for you.

If you’ve not watched her powerful speech in today’s HoC debate on jury trials, you must. I hope she gets all the protection & support she needs and will need…being in public life is brutal enough without having gone through this too.

I’ll link to the direct speech in my next post.

Charlie Gammell on Arthur’s podcast should be the go-to source for anyone wanting to understand Iran. Superb.

Listened to the first podcast which I found very informative on Iran and its diverse political situation. These guys eloquently, yet simply, cover Iran and Israel/US attacks. Looking forward to hearing their views and being informed.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm starting to find the number of senior people associated with Brexit who have 'prior commitments' preventing them from speaking at an event slightly suspicious

note that it's the right-wing parties, who have complained that UK should have joined US strikes on Iran, who are now also demanding the Labour government steps up household help with energy bills

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

There was no objective to US action, thus can it also be declared complete whenever Trump gets bored or worried about the stock market.

And the mess all these random actions create will just keep piling up for the next administration.

I find this so odd. I used to be very into Twitter and for a while it was my job to be. The Yes to AV referendum campaign was a failure in most respects, but we won the Twitter war; to be fair No2AV never even tried. But I never for one minute kidded myself that actually counted for anything.

Americans think there’s a limit to how much things can get worse. There isn’t. But there’s also no limit to how much things can get better. Even from here.

make peace
with all the women you once were.
lay flowers at their feet.
offer them incense and honey and forgiveness.
honor them
and give them your silence.
listen.
bless them
and let them be.
for they are the bones of the temple you sit in now.
for they are the rivers of wisdom
leading you toward the sea.

— i have been a thousand different women

I have had more blowback for daring to not like "The Wire" than when I comment on Brexit, transphobia, or the Middle East.

A bunch of tweets all saying "No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris debris from a successful interception"
