It is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.

Burnham talks as if the genocide in Gaza is in the past, but it's happening NOW. Britain is arming Israel NOW. This UN report is from two weeks ago. Burnham must commit to fully ending UK complicity NOW.

I can't believe Ann Widdecombe, literal Ann Widdecombe, has been murdered. I feel like we're a much nastier country than the one I grew up, one in which surreal baudrillardian violence and violation periodically invades our ever less managed national decline. I'm so sick of it

Dan Neidle is a massive prick. His only interest is explaining why nothing can ever change and that rich people have to simply get richer and any attempts to change anything at all is futile. A true servant of the billionaire class.

@de_jever @BenForster90 And when people use the term “Straw man argument”, it’s because they don’t have a decent response to an argument. It’s normally due to a lack of intelligence. Which makes sense in your case.

Basel Adra, director del documental ganador de un Oscar: "Estoy muy decepcionado con lo que ha ocurrido con 'No other land'" Cuando le entrevisté el año pasado en su casa me dijo: "Personalmente, pensaba que cuando el mundo viera la injusticia de lo que nos estaba ocurriendo, cómo el Ejército israelí está destruyendo las escuelas y las casas, cómo los colonos atacan a la gente, alguien haría algo para detenerlos. Pero, desafortunadamente, comenzó el genocidio y hasta hoy nadie ha frenado el asesinato de los palestinos, ni las demoliciones, ni todo lo que está pasando aquí" lamarea.com/2025/09/14/bas…

Fake news from top to bottom. The real story? If the Trump regime does not abide by all of its MOU commitments, Iran will not abide by its commitments either. Hence, traffic of ships through the Strait from regimes that collaborated against Iran in wartime will not normalize.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🚨🇮🇷 Iran's private confession to Trump's team: "We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let's keep talking." -Per CBS and Reuters, Iranian officials privately told Trump advisers the ship attacks came from "an errant part of their system," an "errant" sect of HARDLINERS deliberately trying to undermine the negotiations -The U.S. has its own theory of the trigger: Iran was caught off guard by how fast oil and gas traffic surged through the southern Omani lane, watched its leverage evaporate, and reneged -Saturday's Oman talks are the deadline, with Washington expecting Iran to declare the strait open and managed as it was pre-war, or "it's not going to be a great day for them" -Trump's full first team is running it: Vance, Kushner, Witkoff, and Rubio -On the "nuclear dust," the U.S. would prefer to excavate Iran's buried uranium, but if Tehran won't act like a "normal country," options include leaving it entombed -The stakes ladder, per one official: if Iran can't honor the EASIEST part of the deal, the open strait, the nuclear question never even gets reached The two explanations for the tanker fire are the whole story. Iran says rogue hardliners are sabotaging the deal. Washington says Tehran panicked watching the southern lane succeed and shot to claw back leverage. Both versions end the same place: a regime that either can't control its guns or can't tolerate losing the strait, being asked to publicly swallow BOTH by Saturday.

@flying_rodent The difference is that Burnham will have a 180 majority in the HOC. He can batter these motherfuckers into a bloodstained mess with all the executive power of the state if he chooses to do so.

My point is not: Boo hoo, this was unfair. It is: this system cynically recruits wackos and frauds for malicious purposes. These particular wackos and frauds are still available to be recruited and gainfully employed at any time, because there was no reckoning last time.

This guy submitted hundreds of racism complaints to the Labour Party under his own name and a more Jewish-sounding pseudonym, because he isn’t Jewish himself: he’s just a very right wing internet crackpot whose claim to be Labour Against Antisemitism is that he named himself that

@WordMercenary Exactly. Zach should have pointed out that any British citizen fighting for Russia would not only be tracked, they would be prosecuted.

There interviewer here appears to believe the IDF is a branch of the British military
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

Well done to @ZackPolanski for making it clear we should be tracking British citizens who have served in the IDF & engaged in genocide. He also rightly calls out the double standards when it comes to condemning Russian war crimes but not Israeli war crimes.

Yesterday the Telegraph reported on my comments about air conditioning. The comment section is quite something. I have apparently become a hero of the anti net zero crowd by saying something what I think is sensible about air con. Allow me to point out three ironies in this 🧵

"En EEUU, me discriminaban en el ejército por ser negro... aquí en la República Española, soy comandante de un batallón". Oliver Law, comandante afroamericano del Batallón Lincoln de las Brigadas Internacionales, caía en combate un 9 de julio de 1937 mientras luchaba contra el franquismo en Brunete, liderando a sus tropas al grito: "Avanzad, a por ellos". Como dice el poeta Miguel Hernandez: "Hay hombres que contienen un alma sin fronteras".
