I don't believe that Jenrick will ever lead the Tories, let alone the country. He's crooked, oleaginous and prepared to say anything he thinks might get him nearer to power. The Tories know their next leader needs to be charismatic and able to pass for principled; and Jenrick is neither of those.

Well then. No excuse now, is there.

You have a viable alternative to the piss poor Tory Tribute Act called Labour.

Best vote for it. #VoteGreen every chance you get, who knows you may end up with a Govt that puts people before profit.

Now there’s a thought…

Lisa Nandy stated today in a spat with Zarah Sultana, that, "Conflating being Jewish and Israeli, I have to say, I’m afraid is itself antisemitism." This is an interesting position, as it condemns anyone who claims that Israel is a Jewish State as antisemitic. So that would be Netanyahu, antisemite.

Israel joins the list of pariah nations that commit torture on prisoners. Brothers in human rights abuse with Iran.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

That’s great, a great achievement.

Their policies are really starting to resonate with people. People hate the infighting and incompetence of the other parties and want a more humane approach to the major issues effecting people today.

Banning Maccabi fans from Aston Villa is about mitigating the risk of soccer violence. For the Labour govt to conflate it with antisemitism is disingenuous. If the govt has its way, and the event is subsequently marred by violence, the blood will be in their hands.

Capitalism is great for retail and services where there is choice in the market, but it has proven to be a consistently unfit mechanism for running monolithic public services and utilities.

The primacy of profit always trumps the interests of the public.

But they are well aware that if the Republicans lose power, there is every chance that they will be held accountable for their actions and punished. So in dismantling the nation's democratic processes, they are acting largely out of self-preservation. #NoKings 2/2

Much of America's emergent fascism is not principled, but opportunistic. It is a consequence of venality and corruption. GOP politicians, serving under the most venal and corrupt of them all, find themselves in a position to take what they want and hurt who they want #NoKings 1/2

The #WWE Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs. the Kabuki Warriors feud is the Japanesest (yes, I've just made up that word) wrestling storyline I've seen outside of NJPW. Hugely heightened emotions; Iyo's torment, torn between conflicting loyalties; Asuka sticking her tongue out to denote evil. Kabuki indeed.

Catching up with #WWE #CrownJewel after a weekend's work at the antiques coalface. The first thing that strikes me, looking at the overall yellowness of the Perth audience, is that John Cena will be able to afford that new toaster he wanted.

Maria Corina Machado is a clever choice for the Nobel Peace Prize. Given Trump's belligerent stance on Venezuela, he will find it difficult to argue with the prize being awarded to Maduro's greatest and most implacable opponent.

Looking at the stars @lookingatthestars.bsky.social · 12d

The Nobel prizes are meaningless gewgaws. If awarding one to the orange manbaby steers him towards trying to do some good, then that's better than him furthering his autocratic tendencies.

"Give me your privileged, your rich,
Your coddled nepos yearning to breathe free of the reek of poverty within your selfish walls.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost back to their hell.
I turn my eyes toward the sleazy golden ballroom."

Netanyahu, his enablers in the Knesset, and the IDF have reduced Israel to the status of global pariah. It will take a complete change of government and decades of atonement to earn the state a place at the table of civilised nations
