So this corrupt bastard with multiple houses overseas has his passport returned to him and is released from bail, while young actionists are kept imprisoned without bail for years?

Where is Keir Starmer? Where is the leadership?
Fascists marched on our streets yesterday and he hasn’t said a single word.
Instead the Prime Minister spends his time defending the “best pals” of paedophiles.
He is a coward. He should resign.
🔴‘Why I Joined the Gaza Aid Flotilla as a Journalist’
The relative lack of media interest in the drone attacks on the aid flotilla heading to Gaza says a lot about the warped priorities of Western journalism, argues @mathildamall.bsky.social

Superb piece from the ISRF on the Great University Crisis: all financial changes to Higher Ed should have to undergo an open and public Educational Impact Assesment. Great to see an actual new idea in what passes for the 'debate'. isrf.org/blog/a-new-r...
The turning point that wasn't: the way the world talks about Israel's war has changed. Nothing else has | Nesrine Malik
Remarkable how many otherwise humane people still seem unable to acknowledge what is happening here.
Sick of this reductive framing as religious/biblical hate/conflict. It makes it irrational, equal(ly so) & understandable but untouchable by logic or law. It's a modern case of settler colonialism & genocide by a state abusing the memory of the Holocaust & using hi-tech weapons & PR.
Britain is still providing arms to Israel. So it's doing a lot more than "tolerating" this world historic evil. It's continuing to participate in it.
Lammy's retoric was strong, but the announced actions were feeble. If we want to support the people of Gaza then we need to be clear about that.
Israel could kill 14,000 babies in 48 hours if it doesn't allow food into Gaza
A UN chief has shared an "utterly chilling" statistic, warning that Israel's ongoing blockage of aid into Gaza could cause mass killings

16 months after the International Court of Justice ruled that Palestinians in Gaza were at ‘plausible risk’ of genocide, the UK government has still not explained why it hasn’t acted on this. 65 parliamentarians are demanding it publishes its current assessment of the risk of genocide.

Can we have a ten year moratorium on handbooks please 🙏
Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.
The second article is also out! @lcornelissen.bsky.social and @cibled.bsky.social trace Louis Rougier’s ties to the far right, arguing that his racialized neoliberalism bridged neoliberal and far-right ideologies, making the latter a natural ally to the former. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Just your daily reminder that when govts say they can’t track parts for weapons systems being used by Israel in a genocide, we should call bullsh*t. Text courtesy of Miriam Pemberton, Six Stops on the National Security Tour
Powerful statement from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social: no matter how hard the Netanyahu regime & its backers try, they can never entirely wrench Gaza’s population away from humanity.

‘Trump’s Rose Garden announcement made few references to specific industries that he thought that his measures would assist or create in the US. This isn’t surprising: the tariffs weren’t informed by any new research into the actual condition of US industrial sectors.’
