One of the 6 judges to examine the evidence against Netanyahu & Gallant & who decided whether or not @IntlCrimCourt should issue arrest warrants, is Theodor Meron. He is a Holocaust survivor & the former Israeli ambassador to Canada (1971-75)

Elon Musk's Weird Obsession With Keir Starmer Is Showing No Sign Of Going Away
Destabilisation of Government by someone linked to a foreign Government is not a good look

The moral of this story is that, in democracies, power resides with the people - it is only ever temporarily lent to politicians. There is always another election or a term limit on the horizon. Your vote is powerful - use it and never let them take it for granted.

I want to tell you a story about an old man, with a silly name and ridiculous hair, who was born in New York, became a media personality and then a right wing politician. π§΅

Never heard Oxfam condemn anything so strongly as they condemn Israelβs genocide of the Palestinian peopleβ¦because it is a stain on humanity. The level of brutality is staggering!

There comes a point when you need to acceptβ¦
That there is no convincing some people
Especially those deluded or stupid enough to think that billionaires playing politics have their best interests at heart.

π¨ BREAKING: The New York Times just dropped a full-page editorial with one messageβ"Vote to End the Trump Era."
They're not holding back, laying out exactly how Trumpβs attacks on democracy, obsession with power, and disregard for the truth make him unfit to lead.
If he's re-elected, they warn, itβs game over for rights, justice, and the environment. America deserves better.
Time to make it count.

I donβt think theyβll ever understand the deep ocean of real anger people who lost loved ones while they partied feel over this. Itβs like a parking ticket to them. To thousands of bereaved people itβs the worst time of their life. The arrogance is staggering.

Number of Journalists killed in wars
Vietnam: 63 journalists in 20 years
World War II: 67 journalists in 7 years
Gaza & Lebanon: 193 journalists in 1 year
This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol I Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesnβt apply to Israel

Tories have elected as leader the perfect amalgam.
The lies, arrogance and superiority of Boris Johnson, the total batshit belief in her own righteousness of Liz Truss, and the callous economic ineptitude of Rishi Sunak.

Terrific reporting by @C4Dispatches and the Sunday Times on the sources of the immense wealth Charles and William trouser. I wouldnβt change a word of what I wrote in fortnight ago

As someone who had to regularly phone people to tell them their loved one was dying and they couldnβt see them, saw parents separated as they children clung on to life, can I say that the βstuff around partygateβ was absolutely not overblown. I remain spectacularly angry.
