Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.

Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.

Long, long overdue.

Independence necessary to protect Scotland from Reform-led Westminster, says Swinney

"SAVE OUR BETS" Sun front page today against gambling taxes

Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.

For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

Israel carries out fresh strike on Gaza and accuses Hamas of preparing 'imminent terror attack' The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it targeted "terrorist infrastructure".

Over 100 killed by strikes overnight, including more than 40 children, and now yet more military aggression by Israel in clear violation of the ceasefire.

The UK cannot abide this - Israel cannot be permitted to act with impunity.

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

'Bring it on': Left-wing activists gather for fight back against the right - and Labour Zack Polanski, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana will headline a left-wing festival in Manchester this weekend - as progressive voters look for an alternative to Labour.

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.

Adler then called on political parties, labor unions and social movements within the group’s network to mobilize against Israel’s war on Gaza. Continue reading...

Beth pears in a blue and white bowl

The UK offers ideal pear-growing conditions – but only around 8% of pears sold here are home grown. Traditional orchards are excellent habitats for wildlife, but they're now rare – so planting pear and apple trees can really help boost biodiversity.

Solidarity with unions in Italy, shutting down ports, railways, schools & shops in a 24-hour general strike for Palestine.

Coordinated action shows the power of our global movement.

We won’t rest until the genocide ends, perpetrators are held accountable & Palestine is free 🇵🇸

Good. But this must only be the first step.

It doesn't end Labour's complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Palestine.

UK-made weapons are used, UK forces train Israel's army, and Israel's president is welcomed to Downing Street.

We urgently need an end to the genocide.

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?
