We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Would "writing comically blinkered techbro boosting articles about robotaxis" count as a bullshit job, because

I know this is very much a secondary point when the US is on a rapid slide towards total and unadulterated fascism but... A @greens4hs2.bsky.social tee has appeared in Washington DC. Which is kinda blowing my mind. Never underestimate the power of angry train nerds. We might yet change the world.

And remember that below about the 25th income percentile, a household is unlikely to have access to car. They depend on public transport instead.

Labour's response? Subsidise those who can afford cars, reduce support to those who can't

As promised, my written evidence is now on the @cityinfinity.bsky.social website blog. It has also been acknowledged by Parliamentary support.

I hope you understand why I have unusually disabled replies.

It's still like this over a week later, what's going on? Proper cycle lane diversion needs to be put in place.

This is why things like fuel duty freezes are just a tax break for the richest.

The #Roseburn Path is indeed glorious on a day like this and the present amenity will be reduced when the railway is restored, but that’s not reason enough to abandon the only feasible tram route to the north and the environmental and social benefits that will bring.

The AfD is praising Starmer.

The new party of the German far-right. That's who Starmer is appealing to, just days after "Victory in Europe" day.

As ever, road policing in Scotland is reactive rather than proactive.

Chances are this won't be the first time the driver has been a criminal in their car.

The cost of inaction is measured in lives and broken bodies.

Article I The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish. Article II In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Call it what it is. Trump is explicitly stating he wants to forcibly displace Palestinians. As per the Genocide Convention, this is an absolute call for genocide by the United States President. This isn't a matter you "debate". It is something you condemn, no questions asked. #r4today
