MOBY RUCK
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
![As the [UK-EU strategic] partnership continues, the Government should also look at what more we can do to support our creative industries.
We need specific commitments on touring to allow artists to travel visa free and to carry their instruments and equipment without prohibitive bureaucracy.

The music industry is one of the UK’s strongest creative exports, yet the average musician has lost £11,545 of their income since we left the EU. European Movement UK are campaigning for reciprocal access for British contractors, musicians and performers travelling to the EU for work.

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
“Yeah, they said, you’ll be the top horse in the stables once you’ve been trained.”
We agree with Daisy Cooper MP: in the face of increasing global threats, we must focus on building ties with the reliable allies on our doorstep, Europe. Rejoining key European security programmes would ensure that the UK is once again involved in shaping Europe's security agenda.
Media must stop normalizing the far right
Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.

One of your best.
You could pretty much say that about all his political stances. He’s basically playing moral and ethical Twister. With Trump. I’ll let that image sink in.
Oooh…go on! You know you want to!
The Iranians have outmanoeuvred Trump. He expected retaliation, not punitive strikes on other states aligned with the West. It’s the Samson defence: bring the whole temple down.
This is why a child should never be in the White House.
And from Palestine. As with much in politics—as with the psyche—it’s overdetermined.
For your Sunday, I wrote about hearing something I’d never noticed before in a small but perfect poem by George Herbert
Trump wants to build autonomous killer robots - and OpenAI just volunteered.
This is a defining moment: either AI is used to help us, or it’s used to kill us. Stop Trump's killer robots: action.eko.org/a/stop-trump...
THIS.
Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️
The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...
No more Dirty Business ! The public, MPs and Environmental Groups have said NO to 14 years of illegal Thames Water sewage pollution. Email Ofwat now, so that they can't ignore us @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...
