Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

The headline talks about Antisemitism fears. Yet both people were criticising a genocidal Israeli Government. This constant conflation of criticism of Jewish people with criticism of Israel makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe. Such a dangerous decision by Labour.

4 people are flying around that Moon today. The first since 1972, and the first-ever with digital cameras, to see better into the dark craters and textures. The crew will have perfect quiet when the Moon blocks out Earth - a time of peace, alone, together.

In 1969, during the Apollo 11 Moon mission, President Nixon prepared a speech called “In Event of Moon Disaster” in case the astronauts couldn’t return. Thankfully, he never had to use it.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Keir Starmer's response to Donald Trump declaring economic war on the UK: Do nothing. Sounding like a stern teacher won't fool anyone. We can see how successful his strategy of sucking up to Trump has proven!

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine. She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

New: Hillary Clinton will be speaking at an event hosted by Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson). She'll join John Fetterman, Eric Adams, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden official Amos Hochstein, and Israeli officials

The two child benefit cap is the biggest single driver of child poverty. It imposes hardship on kids, ignores changing family circumstances - and as the research shows, has no impact on family size. Labour were forced to drop it - because people fought for it. Pressure works!

Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi: "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it." A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Two of my constituents have been detained by Israel, following the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. I have written to the Foreign Secretary to ask what steps the UK government is taking to secure their immediate and safe release.

Banksy is a pillar of British culture. He’s been daubing walls for three decades. As soon as he satirises peaceful protesters being dragged through the courts for holding placards opposing Israel’s genocide, he faces being unmasked and prosecuted.

Absolutely incredible. The Berlin police justified repeatedly brutally punching this Irish activist in the face and breaking their arm... ...because they said they were acting like Nazis. Yes, violently attacking protesters opposed to genocide has definitely rebutted that one!

Owen Jones@owenjones.bsky.social

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Cuomo's new campaign strategist is a Trump supporting right winger

Matt Binder@mattbinder.bsky.social

i had a feeling this guy was involved with Cuomo's campaign after i noticed the other day that Cuomo's account is full of what appear to be AI-generated slop replies to other accounts connected to his "Memelord Technologies" company
