Q: Why have we had one third of our post-war prime ministers in the last decade? A: The 2008 financial crash - and the political response - ended sustained improvements to living standards, public services and security. This bakes in permanently high levels of disillusionment.

If you believe that Jews abuse dogs to rape other people, you might just be an antisemite.

taking down piracy sites is playing whack a mole. you're never going to win what beats piracy, as demonstrated 15 years ago, is making legal consumption easy, cheap, and safe. Netflix and Prime was killing piracy then they split up content and jacked up prices and it's back

You know what would cut down on piracy? Making books widely accessible globally & reducing the cost. Taking down piracy sites will only increase traffic towards other sites.

Across the country, thousands of boaters, mooring owners, public sector organisations like Canal & River Trust, & council valuation departments look on in despair as the mutually agreed upon fiction whereby residential moorings are treated as leisure moorings crumbles in the face of the media obsession to destroy Zack Polanski.
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle

Zack Polanski and his partner called their narrowboat their “amazing home” for three years. He registered to vote there. If it was his main residence, council tax was due. None was paid. His team says he stayed there only “occasionally” - if true, there's a very big problem.

Every now and then, whilst watching the demise of this awful so called Labour government, I remember how they trashed the hope Corbyn gave to hundreds of thousands of people — just to deliver us this complete and utter shitshow.

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

It’s time to change how we talk about what’s happening in Lebanon. According to the Genocide Convention, the Israeli army has been carrying out acts of genocide in Lebanon. Cameraman: Ali Ezzedine

An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes They called 62-year-old Ahmad Turmus and asked: “Ahmad, you want to die with those around you or alone?” His response, below, is chilling. Story by @nabihbulos latimes.com/world-nation/s…

I’ve just learned of the killing by Israel of one of the most courageous people I knew: rescuer Hussein Jaber from the Lebanese Civil Defence in Nabatieh. I had known him for three years and met him many times. He was always inspiring, brave and endlessly helpful for many reporters. We will not forget what Israel has done to Lebanon’s rescuers. We will not forget Hussein.
