🚨 #Sudan #LestWeForget 🚨

Particularly moved by #Amal's story: "..she and her husband resisted [the #RSF]. He was shot dead, she was beaten. Their house was destroyed. Two of their sons are dead...she struggles to get out of bed each day. *💔I was a big woman, now my health is not like before*💔 "
I think this is the most important article I've written for a while: a trip to Sudan to report on the UN's refugee agency.

Battered by Trump's cuts and western retreat, can humanitarianism survive?

“If the murder of Alex Pretti…cannot be called murder, an authoritarian regime has passed one of its crucial tests: it can reverse all meanings…making the victim the perpetrator, the perpetrator the victim.” —@fotoole.bsky.social

By searching for "Farage" in the Epstein Files database (justice.gov/epstein), 38 results come up.

In one, Steve Bannon suggests to Epstein that his advisory roles to European political parties means he can influence European Parliament…. 1/3

"If you want to set aside resources for your future productivity, that means setting aside consumption" @gilesyb.bsky.social is right: gileswilkes.substack.com/p/be-more-ro... I suspect decades of mass unemployment has blinded politicians to this awkward implication of full employment.

#NoNoNo

😡 Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if
granted clemency by President Trump 😡 Elitist arrogance on full display here.

If 'only she can provide the complete account', then she needs to get talking.

Much the same as with Karen Pierce and the US ambo appointment, Starmer actually had someone who could have been director of comms, Steph Driver, who gave years of hard work and professionalism in opposition but then got a succession of people promoted over her for no apparent reason
