Very interested to see what is said privately on Israel & #GazaGenocide. Criminal silence in public.

A story infinitely more consequential & important than anything else in the news today, or ever. Where's the desperately needed political leadership? #ClimateActionNow

So sad

Just incredible #Malinin #WinterOlympics

No tub-thumping has died down, how about putting actual Brexit truths on a bus? Labour's 'red lines' are enabling the enormous economic damage from Brexit to continue. The solution is a no-brainer, if

💸 Brexit is predicted to have cost the UK economy a staggering 6-8% according to the latest study.

💰 That is equivalent to £180bn - £240bn A YEAR!

📉 And that has left HMRC about £90 billion shorter a year.

🪖 150% greater than the UK's defence budget.

Overheated and underprepared: European survey finds citizens concerned about heat and ability to cope with climate change Europeans are very concerned about extreme heat and other impacts of climate change like wildfires according to the results of a Europe-wide survey published today.  It found that many citizens were also underprepared to deal with the increasing frequency and magnitude of heatwaves, flooding, or water shortages in their own homes.

8️⃣0️⃣%

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A reminder for cosy curated @bsky.app that Palestinians are still being killed at a horrifying rate. All eyes on #EpsteinFiles but #GazaGenocide is by far the most heinous manfestation of the moral rot of our elite. #StopGazaGenocide‌NOW

How did we end up with such a depraved elite, folks? What does it say about our societies & how they are run?

Bregman is right that we need a moral revolution, and it needs to result in hard & far-reaching change. Everything from electoral reform to taxation. With #ClimateCrisis at the centre.

Wow from Jim BBCR4 #Wato just now of Starmer dismissing FT coverage of Mandelson as an "obsession" & they should "fxxx off"! Glad everybody is catching up with his appalling judgement. Some of us clocked it pre election when he said Israel had the "right" to starve Gaza. Bit of a clue there folks!

Wise stuff from Brown, particularly with the emphasis on #ClimateCrisis. But the UK & EU need to be honest & repent their disastrous double standards on #InternationalLaw. Much work to do to recover trust with the global south.

Sadly Europe's leaders must take their share of the blame for our current slide into lawless chaos. Sanchez is one of few EU leaders to confront the grotesque trashing of #InternationalLaw by Israel & the USA in #Palestine & beyond. As many of us warned, our double standards will endanger us.

"He's a T-rex. You mate with him, or he devours you." Excellent from @gavinnewsom.bsky.social urging our leaders to stop their "embarrassing" "spineless" fawning to "unmoored" Trump.

This is one hell of a quote. European leaders really are running out of patience.

Massive credit to Simon who has consistently called out Trump's mad antics. While much media laughed & fawned, he's been consistently clear sighted. Well worth catching @lbc.co.uk

Really dangerous. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social abandoning facts to pander to racist hysteria. It's inequality, #BrexitReality & #ClimateCrisis they should attack to improve people's lives.

Major mistake by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to ape Reform & allow Farage to set the national agenda. Small boats and a million legal immigrants are both caused by Farage's #BrexitDisaster. Labour should have gone on the attack with facts, instead they legitimise Farage & his divisive, faux solutions.

Anglican bishop shaken ‘to the core’ by home secretary’s asylum seeker comments Bishop of Edmonton says people coming to UK are being ‘scapegoated’ for years of policy failures

Labour seems to think this further lurch to the right is a political masterstroke. On the contrary, it confirms their moral and political bankruptcy.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

I am obliged to report that when the No 10 spokesman gave this part of the statement there was a brief but heartfelt outbreak of laughter from journalists, one of whom later asked if the PM might thus be interested in a bridge he had to sell.

Laughable.

Yes it's become important for them too, but BlueSky shouldn't restrict them. @mommunism.bsky.social watches this.

She's right. But... Palestinians use X as a lifeline. While Blue-sky sanitises & restricts their access. #Socialmedia
