Bearing in mind what Edward Said had to say about who has "permission to narrate", it would be good to hear from Arabic speakers in general and Palestinians in particular about their word and concept for "uprising", what it means to them, and what they make of the Western debate about that word.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

Israel is still throttling the aid supply to Gaza. And Britain is still supplying Israel with arms and maintaining normal diplomatic relations. The genocide continues, as does British complicity. 26 months and counting.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

"A legal challenge a ban on Palestine Action begins today"

#GMB doesn't mention that the judge in the case has been changed at the last minute for a panel that includes a judge with a long history of working for the govt & another who ruled in favour of UK arms exports to Israel

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.

Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.

Refugees are welcome.

Still can't wrap my head around the fact that internationally renowned activist Greta Thunberg said she was tortured and sexually humiliated by Israeli soldiers when she was abducted for trying to bring aid to starving civilians and the world just shrugged and moved on.

The first time since the modern Tory party came into being that it is fourth placed in terms of members. Theirs will go lower. The Greens will go higher.

It's long past time to tackle the British arms industry. I didn't say it on the podcast, but how about a punitive windfall tax on UK arms manufacturers to fund a British reparations scheme for Gaza and Yemen?

As revealed by Channel 4 News’ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs — £408,000 in June and £316,000 in September.

The government says it’s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.

If the Tories want to scrap the Climate Change Act, then it's both fiscally and morally irresponsible not to put at least some money into dealing with the effects of the crisis - from flooding to extreme heat - and protecting the vulnerable for example in schools and care homes.
