A US State official’s resignation statement on CNN.
He says what we know- selling weapons to Israel, used to murder innocent men, women & children, makes the US (& the UK) guilty as partners in war crime.
Not just a ceasefire.
Sanctions now.
Arms embargo now.
The Hague now.

Will someone - anyone - tell the Israelis that International Humanitarian Law came in after WW2 to try to make sure terrible atrocities like the Holocaust and Hiroshima & Nagasaki would not reoccur
The West will not recover its reputation from backing the Gaza genocide
Steven Donziger@SDonziger
A startling admission is buried in the @nytimes today: Israeli officials admit they are fine with "mass civilian casualties" in Gaza. The Israeli officials also cite the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan to justify the scale of expected civilian death in Gaza. Unconscionable.⬇️

Five days on and already I've slipped into "When I rode the National 24-hr" anecdote mode. This is a reason to keep doing stupid things, it stops you being the guy that spends a decade talking about having ridden the Fred Whitton once.

🌋 Puy de Dome (12,5 km@7,7%):
2023: 32:56 Pogacar - RECORD
1959: 36:15 Bahamontes
2023: 38:00 Woods
That's why Federico Bahamontes is one of the best climbers of all-time, his performance from that day is absoultely insane, it won him the Tour.

Matt Hancock gave a PPE contract to his sisters company which he owned 20% of.
Then denied it when confronted and covered up the evidence.
In total he has been personally involved in more than £600,000,000 of PPE fraud.
Let’s investigate HIS bank account.

Do they not know skin is waterproof & tyre pressure can be reduced?!

334 years ago today. Jacobites won a victory at the Battle of Killiecrankie in Perthshire on 27 July 1689, but arguably also lost the war that day. Amongst those killed was the Jacobite commander, 1st Viscount Dundee, "Bonnie Dundee". More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/blairatholl/ki…
