Even the mild questions I have about Murphy's arguments seem to enrage him, so I've not gone into the realm of critique.

But for a solid response from the left, here's a good article by @graceblakeley.substack.com

Donald Trump is beating the drums of war against oil-rich Venezuela — unilaterally closing its airspace, deploying warships and warning of ground operations.

I’m standing with MPs, trade unionists and activists to say: No war on Venezuela.

Ah, Good Old War Propaganda

The mass media do this every time the US empire gets war-horny. And the Murdoch press are always the most egregious offenders.

Well done to Alex Crawford for once again highlighting the role of Palestinian journalists in Gaza over the past 2 years.

Alex, who's been consistently good on this, is right to say they have been "undermined and derided and belittled". Including by her own channel.

The judge due to rule on the proscription of Palestine Action is swapped last minute for a panel that includes a judge with a history of working for the government and another who ruled in favour UK selling jets to Israel.

Accusations of a “stitch-up”.

DEFEND OUR JURIES

David Lammy is proposing to massively restrict the ancient right to a jury trial by only guaranteeing it for defendants facing cases passing a public interest test.

We saw this coming. It is the reason Defend Our Juries exists.

Nina Cresswell reported a sexual assault, but the police basically ignored her. She spoke out, and her attacker sued her for defamation. Three years later, with our support, she won.

Now she's taking action to stop the police failing women. Join us.👇

Today, 1pm at the UK Home Office, we go again.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had the opportunity to reverse her predecessor’s ridiculous ban on Palestine Action. She chose to double-down and further authoritarianism.

We do not comply.
History will remember your complicity.

One from the archives:

In 2023 Ayesha Hazarika said it was ridiculous the Cheltenham Racing Festival took place in March 2020

But at the very time Cheltenham was taking place in March 2020 Hazarika sneered at those who were demanding more scrutiny of the decisions the govt was taking on Covid
