Human dignity is inviolable. Make the world you want to live in. There is no spare planet; progressive and reflective not mutually exclusive. Brexit disaster.

It is not the best of times, the worst of times are still to come.

It is the age of uneasy alliances, it is the age of isolationism.

It is the epoch of climate crisis, it is the epoch of selfishness.

It is the season of division, it is the season of chaos. /1

…Not to wound, but because not speaking would betray everything I was taught to honour.”

This is such a beautifully expressed opinion piece. 👇

Opinion | When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love — The Guardian
Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice

Everyone’s chasing Reform voters, now polling at 34%. But why is no major party appealing to the rest, the clear majority that Reform can never beat?

What a paradox of modern British politics, a system that rewards fear of a minority more than faith in the majority.

The story of how Ireland became the first western nation to implement a nationwide ban on South African goods during the apartheid era beautifully told. This cheered me up immensely.

I think it is a mutually satisfying sadomasochistic relationship, with just a hint of FOMO on both sides. 🙄

On a serious note, we don’t even have safeguards like the US constitution just the whims of the parliament. Leaving the EU was a catastrophe.

Isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
The Brits are merely copying their ‘special friend’ America’s legendary cuisine and pining for its ‘affordable’ healthcare…

Anyone who thinks a cup of tea is the solution to everything is obviously a tad unhinged but switching to coffee has made it worse, now they all think they are mini MAGA…MBGA

How long before the current Tory party merges with Reform?
I reckon it is as soon as Badenoch is kicked out as leader…

Are you claiming white supremacists are less dangerous than those protesting against genocide? That would be disengenuous at best, racist at worst.
You are a sea lion and I won't be engaging with you any further.

Did you read the bit that said, “It included in the proscription order two other organisations, the Maniacs Murder Cult and Russian Imperial Movement, with the apparent goal of lumping Palestine Action together with neo-Nazi groups and making it difficult for MPs to vote against.”?

Just as the BBC exposes the Met, Mahmood wants to hand them more powers.
Why is it that, no matter who is in power, the Home Secretary’s job always goes to the least competent person?

Wouldn’t exposing the funding or whatever the reason be better for the gov? It would give the public the clarity to make a choice on whether to follow them or not.. instead of thinking it was a great big injustice..
