Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

You know a quote has really been used/abused too often if you find something like this hanging in a Think Tank office. I guess we are all Gramscian now πŸͺ

Britain's political apparatus has a culture of never learning from the lessons. This country needs parliamentary, electoral and legislative reforms. Part of that reform must see a clear separation between politics and the following, big business, finance, media, constabulary and judiciary.

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic.

Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

What is the best place to find links to prints of the art you post?

Would be super helpful (both for the artist and audience) if you could add links to the artist’s website!

One thing the Mandelson affair shows is that it is good for politicians to have a moral compass that exists outside of polls and media cycles. Because the latter changes on a dime and suddenly something that was ok becomes the reason for a major political crisis

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Real talk: if the environment is anything close to what yesterday’s special election implies in November, there need to be people working very hard on a serious agenda for a substantial Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, focused on voting rights, democracy, and court reform.

Life under authoritarianism can feel normal, if you redefine normal, until dissent is silenced & fear takes hold. Routines continue, but freedoms erode. Only when people start disappearing, arrested without cause, taken in the night, or never heard from again, does the illusion of normalcy shatter.
