Interregnum

Hello everybody, I am looking for some help. I know a guy who has just left Gaza and has written some fantastic stuff that I think would be very good in a mainstream publication. Please connect me with any journalists who might be interested and able to support!

The 2026 #Chagos crisis isn't just a diplomatic row it is a "compliance paradox". When allies are treated as conditional custodians of strategic space, the "Special Relationship" finally loses its mask. Read: open.substack.com/pub/drleechngo…

@rushychas @Keir_Starmer Come on. Truss?

@Keir_Starmer I’m 70 years old and i honestly think you are the worst Prime Minister in living memory. I am fed up with your lies, lack of judgement and broken promises. Please do the right thing and put the country first for once in your life and call an election.

I love this country. It is the greatest country in the world. We are tolerant, decent and respectful – and unity is our strength. But for too long, proud communities have been failed by politics and left powerless to do anything about it. Our Pride in Place programme changes that. We are giving people the power to build up their communities. We’ve already invested thousands into communities across Britain. Now, we are giving thousands more the opportunity to transform their local area. Putting local people in control and building a Britain that works for all.

The Epstein files describe a familiar architecture: extraordinary rendition of dehumanized bodies to black sites beyond the law. Developed in the War on Terror. "Forgiven" in the name of looking forward. Augmented in service of elite desires. open.substack.com/pub/drleechngo…

The Interregnum is over. What’s happening in Minneapolis and Fulton County isn't a "glitch." It’s the Imperial Boomerang—the brutal mechanics of the frontier imported back to the metropole. From NATO to DOGE, the War of Manoeuvre has begun. open.substack.com/pub/drleechngo…

When MLK was killed, RFK urged compassion instead of vengeance. After Charlie Kirk’s killing, some leaders are stoking anger. There is another choice: restraint, justice, and care for one another. youtu.be/A2kWIa8wSC0

“This is hubris. It’s about the dismantlement of international law before our eyes. And when international law is dismantled, it’s not just for the people you don’t like. It will affect you too.” Me to @bbcpaddy on #newsnight last night speaking abt Israeli strikes on #Qatar.

"When the Hamas office was opened in Qatar several years ago, it was done with the very explicit support of the US and Israel..." Juneau said... "Netanyahu explicitly allowed Qatar to pay civil service salaries, for example, in Gaza before October 2023" cbc.ca/news/politics/…

In striking Damascus and beyond, “what Israel is looking for, I think, is a fragmented Syria – one which is weak and divided,” says former British spy chief John Sawers. “That's a miscalculation… I don’t think Israeli actions were at all helpful.”

Amen.

I’m pointing out the flaws in media coverage because I’m forced to overcompensate for you all getting high on a dose of validation from licking 'media shift' breadcrumbs. If basic recognition of atrocities satisfies you, that’s exactly why we’re stuck here.

Canada opposes Israel’s approval of 22 new settlements in the West Bank and calls on Israel to reverse this decision. Israeli settlements in the occupied territories violate international law and undermine prospects for lasting peace and security via the two-state solution.

“Israel’s brutalization of the Palestinian population in Gaza has gone on too long. These are unspeakable — and, more important, indefensible — crimes. We cannot be complicit in minimizing them or pretending that they are not happening. Because they are. Enough.”

@GazaFreedomABC What is the PA doing in this context?

The West Bank is annexed and is being annexed at a faster rate than ever. The West has expressed concern over settlements undermining the 'two-state solution' for decades but never took meaningful action. This threat is about a declaration of these facts. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

@GazaFreedomABC 🤮

Nothing is more irritating about purple-circle, yellow-ribbon, genocide-denying peace pretenders than how easily they fall for apartheid apologists posing as Palestinians. They portray these impostors as symbols of hope in order to deliberately frame the rest of us as anti-peace.

How many children? When are we going to stop enabling this? theguardian.com/world/2025/may…
