Palestine exposes the lie of international law. Venezuela exposes the lie of self-determination under empire. When nations, movements, or peoples step outside the boundaries set by imperial power, they are sanctioned, destabilized, or invaded.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap the foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it.

If Zohran Mamdani were British, Keir Starmer would have definitely expelled him from the Labour Party.

What Diane Abbott has had to endure from her opponents is disgusting. But what she's had to endure from within her own party - unforgivable.

Any word for the young woman raped and told to "go back to her own country"?

Those who abuse our immigration system must face the strongest possible consequences. We’ve banned a record number of employers from sponsoring migrant workers because they broke the rules and exploited staff. My Plan for Change is securing our borders with action, not gimmicks.

Actually yes, in general it's ridiculous to see the world treat American domestic politics as universal concerns. We actually end up importing their racial frameworks, their culture wars and their political divisions as if they map onto our own societies - when they don't. French banlieues aren't American ghettos for instance, and if we frame them as such we adopt analyses and solutions designed for a different context. It's a form of toxic cultural colonialism.

We know her name is Hind Rajab - and the BBC can only call her Gaza child - why?
Would this be done for a child they felt more depth of empathy for?
Is it to reduce the impact of the story?

“Gaza child’s killing” You have got to be kidding @BBCWorld, this headline is trash.

I wear flags on nights out, I eat flags, I wash with flags, I have flag children, I say a prayer to my flag each evening, I smoke and drink flags, I drive a flag to work, I go on holiday to flags every year, I bake flags every Sunday and put up flags instead of a Christmas tree.

What in the reputation rehabilitation is going on over here? Why does a genocidaire get a New York Times byline? They can work their feelings out in the dock at the Hague. Prosecute them.

"I fought in Gaza for a year, first as a tank platoon commander and then as the deputy to my company commander" "Gaza became a lawless zone, with little effective oversight of the military and almost no personal accountability for soldiers" "this war has crossed every boundary"

Grim spectacle. Many of the family reunion applications will involve women and children living in precarious environments - camps, war zones, places where their health and liberty is at risk, etc.

BREAKING: Yvette Cooper says she is suspending all applications to bring family members to the UK under the asylum system.

when Virginia Woolf said, “Autumn is my season, dear; it is, after all, the season of the soul” and when F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall” and when Anne Shirley said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza
