This piece on Gaza by Eyal Weizman of Forensic Architecture has already been widely circulated, and is almost unbearable to read. The very first paragraph lays out in inarguable terms why Gaza was, and is, a genocide. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/…

@Dominic2306 Not reading all that mate. BTW I think some good deals on ReGaine hair products atm

As usual, Ciaran Martin is busy spreading bullshit to hacks. The PM is *often* told by officials details from vetting, leak inquiries, investigations by intel agencies etc. This is because the PM in our constitution is often the only constitutional authority deemed able to make a political judgement about things including risk assessments of appointments. Martin's bullshit that details are never shared is factually untrue. Often officials run through a list - sorry PM, sex pest. Sorry, being investigated by NCA for fraud but we shd keep this quiet as he isn't charged yet. Sorry, he was asked about leaking X and he lied to the investigators, a breach of the ministerial code... I've watched discussions about each of these things with the PM and officials. Martin is asking you to believe that officials can just say 'sorry PM you can't appoint X he's failed vetting' and *the PM* isn't allowed to know any details. Absurd for many reasons. I know I say ministers have become NPCs but it isn't quite that bad yet - though the likes of Martin would *like* officials to control absolutely everything. When the penetration of Whitehall by PRC intel became a huge story, Martin spread disinfo to hacks trying to make the disaster look less disastrous. He is a Remainiac Heywood stooge who pipes up for elements of Whitehall & shd not be treated as any sort of 'impartial official'. Mandelson was a political appointment. All sides agree that the PM made this appointment and made clear he was pushing it through before various checks were done and regardless of various checks already done. If the vetting people came back with concerns, *the proper action was UNQUESTIONABLY for officials to take this to the PM* for him to make a judgement about the pros/cons and risks of his own political appointment, including the 'details' which Martin is pretending junior vetting officials are allowed to know but not *the PM*. This is the only proper way for such a problem to be resolved. Ollie Robbins and Ciaran are talking crap. And so is Starmer. All systems are working as intended. Also hacks shd be asking: Who officially authorised Mandelson for STRAP clearance? You don't get to read very sensitive material, like transcripts of intercepted calls between important people, just because you've got DV - you *also* need STRAP. Either a) an official cleared Mandy for STRAP or else b) the requirement / 3+ month delay was waived by the PM, or c) we're supposed to believe Mandy wasn't shown STRAP material? So which official authorised it or did the PM waive it? When? (It's already in the published paper trail that he was told it would take over 3 months)

@ZackPolanski @wesstreeting I thought this was a picture of someone mooning Mandelson, but it's just Streeting's face.

Just watched The Housemaid. Started promising, then about halfway through it turned silly. 2/5

@OzKaterji You’re very short

It's 100% true you antisemitic dolt and if it wasn't you would simply take them to court, but given the EHRC found you culpable for unlawful discrimination, you won't. x.com/jeremycorbyn/s…

We will remember that when Trump threatened to genocide Iran saying “A whole civilisation will die tonight”, neither the PM, deputy PM, foreign or defence secretaries said anything about it in public.

East Lothian needs an MP who isn’t a snide toad parachuted into a safe seat and still at risk of losing it

@kittysull1 Are the reports that you have a second home in Spain true?

Tom is spot. Listening to maiden speeches in 2924 let me appreciate the high no of MPs with a background that challenges assumptions. People who have known struggles whether in business or their own lives, & those who have helped others. This is to be celebrated, not ignored.

"who represents us now?" Fella these are two of the greatest Irishmen of all time.

This is absolutely right. And time for @parkrunUK to get act their together too on women’s timings & categories

Cop Land is one of the most underrated movies of the 90s. Stallone wanted it so badly he took $60K, packed on weight, and promised no script changes. A powerhouse cast fuels this urban western, and when Ray Liotta was on fire, nobody matched him.

@theobertram One of those guys who doesn’t have a laptop I guess

If he gave his work email, he wouldn't be able to access it because his work phone had been stolen and he would not have access to his work email on his personal phone. He had also already immediately told No10 to track his phone, according to the transcript.
