Doing my usual 40km bike ride yesterday and going up an admittedly rather tame hill, with a helicopter buzzing overhead. Just for a second, I was in the Tour de France.

Growing up in Gaza โ€“ one girlโ€™s story of survival At 17, Haya should be studying and looking forward to a bright future. Instead, she's struggling to keep her family alive

At 17, Haya is no stranger to war. On again, off again, it was a frequent part of her childhood, but this time it has brought her to the brink of despair. When it started, she was studying, but her school was one of many destroyed in the bombardment.

America's descent into suppression of dissent ๐Ÿงต

I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent.

They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament.

Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

The UKโ€™s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population โ€” 34 million people.

Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused โ€œincalculable damageโ€ to our society.

This is a lie. Itโ€™s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet โ€” not migrants.

600,000 people got on trains, buses to London to protest against the genocide in Palestine today & it wasnโ€™t even on the news. Such is the power of money, it controls everything & everybody, itโ€™s cost, life itself. Therein the answer, get rid of money in favour of equality & life

Top genocide scholar calls Starmer and Lammy โ€˜hypocritesโ€™ over Gaza stance William Schabas noted how British leaders previously voted in favour of recognising genocides in conflicts of a lesser scale than Gaza

One of the worldโ€™s leading scholars on genocide, William Schabas, on Monday denounced Keir Starmer and David Lammy for refusing to label Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.

โ€œThese people are hypocritesโ€ฆ They do not interpret or apply the Genocide Convention in a consistent manner.โ€

Some British MPs spending equivalent of a day a week doing second jobs Guardian analysis finds seven MPs have worked at least 300 hours since July in outside employment

Legislators for Hire.

236 UK MPs declared some outside earnings.

Is ยฃ93,904+exp not enough?

Some spend a day a week on second jobs. Nigel Farage the worst culprit.

MPs hired to serve their paymasters - access to policymakers, govt contracts.

End political corruption. No second jobs for MPs.
