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.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "This was the 127th target seat for the Green party. There is now no no-go areas for the Green party, theres no such thing as a wasted vote.. you can't underestimate how transformational this is for British politics"
Defend Our Juries spokesperson Zoe Cohen told us how she felt as a Jewish woman upon hearing the news that the proscription of Palestine Action was ruled unlawful by High Court judges.
“We’re in such a time of darkness but today we have a moment of joy and truth and justice.”
Poster with the cookie monster and the quote "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."
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 🍪
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
“Democracy dies in oligarchy”
New in PN: Inside the resistance with @whstancil.bsky.social
"They seem to have thought they could come in here with big guns and intimidate everyone, then we would all just sort of run away. That didn’t happen. Ultimately, I don’t see a way out for them that isn’t some kind of defeat or retreat."
The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

Epstein, Brexit, Trump, Putin, Tech-bro-oligarchy, manosphere descent, Rise of rightwing parties, vaccination collapse...
...aren't seperate problems.
They are all the same thing.
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.
“With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for ‘the positive affirmation of peace.’”
— The Nation
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they're serving, is their big donors."
“When tyranny becomes law,
rebellion becomes duty.”
Thomas Jefferson
Seems like the Epstein files are full of billionaires and not immigrants.
BREAKING: UK should consider re-entering talks for defence pact with the EU, Keir Starmer has said, arguing that Europe needs to “step up and do more” to defend itself in uncertain times

W.H.A.T. A. B.U.R.N.!
The city of Minneapolis and its residents were formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
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.
"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

Taj Ali explaining that Matthew Goodwin talks about culture wars because he doesn't want to talk about class.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.
