www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... This headline would give me more pleasure if, in the process of screwing each other, this awful pair hadn't fucked so many others.
www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... I wish this were the only news this morning.
Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. I've signed the open letter to Wes Streeting calling on him to get Palantir out of the NHS. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/we...
More evidence that the US+Israel war on Iran is a war of choice, and a bad choice, causing unnecessary loss of life, injury, fear and damage. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Tell the UK Gov: Ban Trade with Israeli Settlements - Now. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-t...
I just signed a petition: QBE: STOP INSURING REFORM UK. #BoycottBloodyInsurance Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/qb...
There isn't even anything here that gets us from phase 1 to phase 2 of the ceasefire agreement. Israeli forces occupy over half of Gaza and Hamas are reasserting themselves in the other half. That's a recipe for more violence, not a path to peace. aje.io/x009p3

📝 Yesterday, UK union leaders delivered Keir Starmer an urgent letter at 10 Downing Street. 📣 “The Climate and Nature Bill would protect and safeguard nature—while creating 1000’s of jobs, bringing social and economic justice to communities across the county.” 🐝 zerohour.uk #CANBill

🌍 Steve Reed wanted the Climate & Nature Bill to proceed. Ed Miliband promised to work on the #CANBill's objectives. Mary Creagh pledged to deliver “binding nature commitments”. 🚨 Labour Ministers are speaking out. ⏳ What’s the delay for new, joined-up, science-led climate and nature legislation?

40 Years Ago I Became a Settler. 10 years later and one intifada later I had unlearned the settler mentality by engaging in dialogue with Palestinians. My latest blog: israelipeaceimages.com/2025/01/01/4...
The fall of Assad's regime demonstrates the limitations of force in politics. The Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is also a regime based on force, which will end. israelipeaceimages.com/2024/12/12/w...
I signed this not because it's the only step that the UK government should take on Israel-Palestine now but because its a step they might just have the courage to take: www.thenational.scot/news/2477478...
