“Actually it’s really sensible to give these particular arsonists a few extra boxes of matches. They’re not like other arsonists. Don’t worry, they won’t burn anything, and our matchmaking industry needs a boost.” #Jackdaw

I have receipts going back well over a decade but the bottom line is: this paper has been cribbing 1930s lines about a secret alliance of Bolshevik intellectuals and their inferior race allies conspiring to sap and destroy the martial will to power and moral fabric of The West for well over 15 years

Russia is arming Iran. The USA is lifting sanctions on Russian exports, to fund Putin's wars. The USA and Israel are fighting Iran, using US funding. Is this the first time that the USA has paid for both sides of a war it started for no reason?

The BBC's Whitehouse correspondent has been in regular contact with Katie Zacharia since long before she became press secretary and holds a very high opinion of her. Which could mean nothing.

Have I missed the EHRC writing to Reform requesting clarification to "assess it's practical implications and impact" of Jenricks plan for the navy to use lethal force against refugees in small boats?

Obama normalized droning people. Biden normalized genocide. Trump normalized mocking genocide victims. Israel normalized killing doctors. It's a potpourri of barbarism. #EndZionism #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael #GazaHolocaust

All the Comfortables are way less upset about this than they are about Zionism is racism because they agree with Jenrick. Oh they'll criticise his tone and being so blatant but they agree with his aims so they can't muster much anger against it.

Robert Jenrick for Reform says that Royal Marines using "lethal force" on small boats could end it in days. "Deploy the Royal Marines into the Channel. If they need to use lethal force then they'll be able to do so. I think the problem would come to an end within a matter of days."

The arguments against Zionism is Racism seem very similar to those used against pro Trans positions in the Green party: It's divisive. Voters are put off. It won't change anything (why is everyone so angry then?). Some people feel targeted or unsafe. Lots of the same characters too.

If we had the choice between torturing someone for eternity over their beliefs or simply not doing that, we’d choose not to. But what do we know? We’re just evil heathens, not the infinitely loving and merciful Jesus.

At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

And when the standfirst says ZiR is about telling Jews how to think, what it really means is that Palestinians should have no voice. Palestinians should be silenced.

If nothing else the Zionism is Racism motion sure has caused a lot of "I'm very critical of Netanyahu and oppose the genocide" types to break cover and admit they're committed to a Jewish supremacist state in Palestine.

In his report on Israels response to Pillay winning the Nobel peace prize Parsons reports "she is a divisive figure" You mean a regime (& its enablers) thats spent 3yrs bombing hospitals, murdering journalists, starving families & slaughtering thousands of kids doesnt like her?

Our amazing Legal Triage Officer, Tharika, is doing a boxing 🥊 fundraiser for Suffolk Law Centre in Ipswich next month. She’s only small, and I feel we should be wrapping her up in cotton wool, but she’s intent on fighting for access to justice! There’s a fundraising link in the QR code below 👍

The party that supported starving Gaza and cutting off the water, doesn’t want to work with anyone who thinks Zionism racist. Colour me surprised. But the thought that antiracists would want to work with them. What presumption from the morally abominable.

No doubt, and this is why it makes sense to focus on absolutely undeniable facts like “there is no such thing as a good and defensible genocide” and “national leaders who attack entire civilian populations with the intent to destroy them as a people are monstrous criminals”.

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me

I may have some slightly uncertainty about the Zionism is Racism resolution in mandating a one-state solution - I might approve, but feel I'm not the one to say. But by god, it's boiled the piss of all the right (worst) people. Love it.

"Oh no the press are cross!" Good! I welcome their rage. I crave it, because it shows we're on the right track. Without it we'd still be on 5% in the polls. But they won't find us as pliant as Corbyn's Labour.

9 years after Grenfell fire killed 72 people, Police pass files to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible charges against 54 individuals and 20 companies. How many will be prosecuted? Years of litigation will follow. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Despite being a famous Hollywood star if you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport. It read: “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”
