Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

"By any sensible definition, 'racist' is a word you can't apply to someone who doesn't want Romanians living next door."

Says Fraser Nelson, who happily published Taki's Nazi fandom, racist liar Liddle, and white nationalist Douglas Murray.

Beyond satire.

"This entire process was never about me. It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism – a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress. It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent news.

Lifting the two-child cap won't end child poverty - but every expert in this area agrees that it is by far the single most important and effective thing the government could do.

Sir Keir Starmer will be told by senior cabinet ministers that lifting the two-child cap is the most effective way of alleviating child poverty amid mounting pressure from ministers and backbenchers.
The Times has been told that a body of ministers and officials set up to tackle child poverty will recommend lifting the cap after concluding it is the best way to alleviate the problem.
The recommendations from the child poverty taskforce are expected before the autumn budget on November 26, although it has been repeatedly delayed.

From Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham:

Happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of Oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
