Take this tour of the @novaexhibition with me. The massacre of innocents is laid bare. In this time of disinformation it is truth. In this moment of dehumanisation it is compassion. A glimpse of Hell but we MUST bear witness. We cannot afford to flinch.
Tottenham staying up, their spirits up, but this has to be a wake-up call. Micky van de Ven immense last few minutes, intercepting then clearing. Spurs fans superb, willing their players towards safety. Plenty right about Spurs: support, stadium, training ground and they now have a heavyweight head coach in Roberto De Zerbi who can organise and motivate, who has the respect of players and supporters. But Spurs need an in-depth review this summer into the many issues and ensure they never get into such a predicament again. Have to improve recruitment, get in more leaders, sell Romero and appoint a more committed captain. Get in a more reliable finisher, communicate better with fans, examine the chronic injury list. But they’ve survived and can celebrate. And reflect. #TOTEVE
All these decisions only since De Zerbi joined Tottenham. @PGMOL_FA are corrupt. Tottenham are spineless for not submitting any complaints.
As West Ham and Tottenham battle it out to avoid relegation from the Premier League, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan reveals to The Standard who he would rather face the drop.
This lack of ‘integrity’ chat over Villa’s starting 11 is pathetic. Teams have been doing what Unai Emery did for decades. Plus we’ve been forced to play a reserve 11 for most of the season. Will now ABSOLUTELY love it if we stay up, just to shut up the Spurs haters! #COYS
The Arabic commentators’ reaction to Spurs being in the relegation zone 😭😭😭
SHAME: The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets soon to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC members who backed this include: 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇴🇳🇱🇦🇺🇨🇭🇦🇹🇫🇮

BREAKING: The war just cancelled your flight. Four Italian airports, Bologna, Milan Linate, Venice Marco Polo, and Treviso, are rationing jet fuel. Air BP Italia issued emergency NOTAMs on April 4th capping short-haul departures at 2,000 litres of kerosene per aircraft, a fraction of normal requirements. Priority goes to medical flights, government flights, and routes exceeding three hours. Everything else gets whatever is left. Fortune confirmed the cause: the Strait of Hormuz carries the kerosene that fuels European aviation, and the strait is functionally closed. Vortexa data compiled by Bloomberg shows the Persian Gulf supplies approximately half of EU and UK jet fuel imports. Corriere della Sera reported the timeline: the last tanker loaded with Gulf kerosene arrives in Europe on April 9th. After that, the pipeline goes dry. Ryanair warned that if the Iran war continues, summer flights across Europe are at risk. Lufthansa confirmed criticality in Asian markets. The IEA said there are “no physical shortages yet” but the situation could change within weeks. Airlines hedged roughly 80 percent of 2026 fuel at pre-crisis prices. But hedging protects against cost. It does not protect against physical unavailability. You cannot hedge a molecule that does not exist. The contract settles in cash. The aircraft requires liquid kerosene in a tank at the gate. When the kerosene does not arrive from the Gulf, the airline collects its hedge payout and the passenger collects a cancellation notice. Italy is the first European country where the Iran war has physically grounded flights through fuel rationing. It will not be the last. The Philippines has declared a national energy emergency. Sri Lanka and Slovenia have introduced fuel rationing. The war has now touched every layer of the global economy: six Gulf petrochemical nations damaged simultaneously, twelve to twenty percent of global petrochemical capacity offline, Asian crackers in force majeure from Indonesia to Taiwan, Indian pharmaceutical buffers depleting toward May exhaustion, Bangladeshi fertiliser plants shut, and now European airports capping fuel loads. Six crises. One molecule. One chokepoint. Kerosene is a middle distillate cracked from the same crude barrel that produces naphtha for petrochemicals, diesel for agriculture, and fuel oil for shipping. The war that struck Kharg Island this morning, where Republic World confirmed devastating airstrikes and Al-Araby reported power outages across the terminal handling 90 percent of Iranian exports, is the same war that told a passenger in Venice her flight to London might not depart. The IDF issued a Farsi warning today to avoid trains and bridges. Within hours the Kashan railway bridge was destroyed, killing two. A bridge on the Qom-Tehran highway was struck. Tehran lost power for the second consecutive day from shrapnel hitting substations. Iran arrested 85 people across 25 provinces for transmitting targeting data. PAX has mapped over 2,500 damaged locations. And the 8 PM Eastern deadline, Power Plant Day, has not yet arrived. What has happened so far is the prelude. The molecule connects a passenger stranded in Venice to a farmer in Iowa who cannot buy nitrogen to a pharmacist in Dhaka who cannot stock paracetamol to a child in Bahrain who cannot drink tap water because the desalination plant took debris from the interceptor that shot down the missile aimed at the refinery that makes the kerosene that never reached Bologna. One molecule. Six crises. Twenty-one miles of water. And the deadline is tonight. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
Gosh these people are silly - I've spoken about *former* Jewish leaders a lot. It's hopeful despite the BBC allowing him to host a flagship political show for years & spout his propoganda - he's now pretty irrelevant. The people are fighting back. Join.greenparty.org.uk
Igor Tudor is GONE! They should have never hired him 😡🤬
