This sounds bad. Allotments are a form of municipal socialism. Rayner should be all for them.

If they *have* to raise more money from them, surely raising the very low rents would be a compromise? Flog them and they're gone forever

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

This is a very clear historical and current summary, and utterly damning. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is really concerning. UK government giving special treatment to digital giant Palantir, owned by Peter Thiel. Thiel has supported and funded the rise of the reactionary misogynist JD Vance, US vice president....🔽

Illegitimate Concerns There is a growing violent far-right movement in the UK which senior politicians and media organisations are now not only seeking to justify, but are actively encouraging

There is a growing violent movement which senior politicians and media organisations are now not only seeking to justify, but actively encouraging.

Why it's time for politicians to instead start standing up to the wholly illegitimate concerns of the far right

Starvation in Gaza is destroying communities – and will leave generational scars Health and societal ramifications of extreme hunger will reverberate long after the war is over

Silence + indifference = hostility to Palestine and its people. Let this photo stand as a rebuke to Starmer and Lammy.

Netanyahu’s atrocities are not limited to Gaza. He has also unleashed terrorist settlers in the West Bank who attack civilians and recently beat a young American to death.

Even Trump’s ambassador, Mike Huckabee, called this a “terrorist act.”

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

So many questions left unanswered in the Shapps interview

1) No satisfactory answer on ISC involvement. It wasn't the courts who decided, it was ministers. Hundreds of officials were across Whitehall were aware of the leak. This would have been Parliament's only means of scrutiny.

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying ‘Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

Labour knew this would happen and didn't care. Is this the most right wing Government Britain has ever had? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Rutendo Weslie Mukwonda at IAS 2025

Now at #IAS2025, a really interesting session looking at the impacts of #climatechange on the #HIV response. Rutendo Weslie Mukwonda is speaking about a study in Zimbabwe looking at this issue.

A question of intent On Israel and Gaza.

"International hostility to Israel is particularly strong among the world’s young... because of the way in which Israel has chosen to deploy its overwhelming strength against the vulnerable population of Gaza."

Instead of being solely preoccupied with unnecessary foreign wars, maybe we should have spent more time worrying about the United States government going to war against its own people.

You'd probably like to know, right, that this piece arguing against consumer protection was written by an organisation funded by the US and British Chambers of Commerce? But the Daily Rowling doesn't tell you that.

‘Humanitarian city’ would be concentration camp for Palestinians, says former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel is not all down to antisemitism

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.

Thank you, Wes Streeting.

In the place where Wes Streeting's humanity should be there is a black hole.

BREAKING: Texas families were trapped and dying, and Kristi Noem & Donald Trump blocked urban search and rescue teams—for THREE DAYS.

CNN confirmed it.
This isn’t just negligence. This is blood-soaked political terrorism.

Politicians are retreating from net zero because they think the public doesn’t care. But they’re wrong | Rebecca Willis Our research shows people are strongly in favour of measures to tackle the climate crisis. They just need to be listened to, says professor of energy and climate governance Rebecca Willis

"Polling points to a “perception gap”, with half of MPs underestimating levels of public support for the net zero target."

"72% of people say they would support onshore windfarms being built in their local area, with 17% opposed, MPs assume the opposite."

ICE agents in full combat gear on the streets of Los Angeles. On top of a military vehicle is an agent with a full-ass machine gun on a tripod.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.

This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Petition: Demand protection for healthcare in conflict zones Attacks on hospitals are never acceptable. No excuses, no exceptions.

Shocking that it should come to this:

"Attacks on hospitals are never acceptable. No excuses, no exceptions. That's why MSF is calling on the UK Government to uphold International Humanitarian Law."

If Palestine Action is a ’terror’ organisation, what is the IDF? Set to designate Palestine Action ’’terrorists’, the UK’s unprecedented crackdown on hard-won freedoms paves the way for authoritarianism, argues Owen Jones.

This article will soon be illegal.

Designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation on an equal footing with ISIS is a grotesque attack on democracy.

It's those who facilitated genocide who should be on trial.
