I don't think you'd be far wrong to note that the Corbyn surge was effectively these voters saying "we're here, this is who we are, this is what we value", to which Labour responded with "ah, Militant, my old nemesis. So you show yourself at last...."
Itβs so convenient that there always the exact number of democrats needed to vote against an imperialist goal and they never seem to be punished by their caucus
I hope they will be sued their ass for misused of IP.

In a move with strong echoes of the tobacco playbook, lobbyists for the UK wood-burning stove industry have threatened councils with legal action over public information campaigns warning of the harms of air pollution.

Happy to jump into bed with racists, if it protects your wealth.
More confirmation from these gaslighting hypocritical monsters that international law only applies when they want it to & never against the western minority white people world
Cuba has recently faced more major blackouts as its economic crisis deepens. The government blames decades of sanctions and new US actions that halt oil shipments from Venezuela, leaving the country with fuel shortages and a fragile power grid. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Satellite images from NASA Worldview on March 5 reveal the extent of the blackout in Cuba. A failure at the most important power plant, combined with the US blockade on fuel shipments in the country has left nearly 70% of the island's inhabitants without power.
So Hegseth was on about how the worst is yet to come for Iran, and they would be using heavier bombs and the BBC just repeats it like itβs normal
And, this! For context, so far 51 chicks have hatched, and are alive, this season. Which is how many kΔkΔpΕ were alive in 1995.

'Lanyard Class' is such a right wing dark corner of the internet term it's ridiculous it has entered the conversation to be taken seriously.
thinking about that Hugo Rifkind piece and, frankly, boiling. maybe crawl into a hole forever, you obsequious little bloodworm? sorry "the left" is out of step with the British public on the matter of mad kings teaming up with rabid rogue states to blow schoolgirls to bits, I'll get right on that
"HEREDITARY peers facing abolition from the HoL are to be thrown a lifeline by Sir Keir Starmer. As part of a compromise to be unveiled Tuesday, ministers will pledge to create more life peerages than usual later this year, allowing some hereditary peers to apply and keep their seats" [Telegraph]
Experts told the Enquiry the NHS Infection Control Manual's COVID mitigations were inadequate and based on "vibes," not evidence.
It's still used. So hospitals still have regular airborne infection outbreaks (eg. flu, COVID, RSV) costing Β£Ms, and lives. Patients asking for precautions are ignored.
This huge cache of emergency data is so valuable to the NHS and the companies who want to use it that the permissions kept on rolling over until last month. Streeting formalised this data grab and told GPs there was no need to inform their patients.
You trust Streeting and Palantir?
No, you don't.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
Iβll have more to say tomorrow. Iβm safe.
They also didnβt pay cover π
David Lammy: "... because Cyprus is part of NATO"
erm, Cyprus is not a member of NATO. Maybe its just a slip of the tongue? Except he repeats the claim just a minute later
"... Cyprus is a NATO country"
Does the deputy PM not know that Cyprus isn't a member of a NATO?
Yes please!
Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act. The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people. Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: βFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. βWhilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. βThat this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.β
Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"
Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
I can say this publicly now - connected to this piece - it always disappointed me how rarely Monkey Cage had more than one female panellist - in my final series I think only 2 out of 7 episodes had more than one female guest - I pushed for many years but ultimately failed and now Iβm gone
Israelβs invasion of Lebanon because thatβs what it is, has nothing to do with Hezbollah
Anti-Muslim extremist Tommy Robinson has been allowed into the U.S. despite past assault convictions and a record of rhetoric tied to real-world violence. The former English Defence League leader is now meeting with figures close to Trump while amplifying rhetoric linked to deadly attacks.

The Green Party recognises that NATO has an important role in ensuring the ability of its member states to respond to threats to their security. We would work within NATO to achieve: A greater focus on global peacebuilding. A commitment to a 'No First Use' of nuclear weapons.
IT IS π₯NOTπ₯ GREEN PARTY POLICY TO LEAVE NATO.
This is the policy. You can find it on their website.
Please complain to the BBC about their misrepresentation of #GreenParty policy.
