we keep getting told the press don’t need regulatory reform. this is just racism. it’s not even being smokescreened or obfuscated. they’re calling a politician a race traitor for no reason other than that they don’t like him.
These days many British Jews see Zack Polanski as a traitor to his origins, not a disciple of Jewish ideas. Our profile explores how he has embraced the anti-Israel fervour that has swept the new left

Sensible thinking from Harry Eccles. On balance I think now that the Greens should stand against Burnham provided they can find a really good local candidate, unless we get a cast-iron offering on PR (whipped bill establishing decent system before election). substack.com/@harryeccles...

This deserves to be circulated. A former Red Cross staff member got in touch. She testifies about @zackpolanski.bsky.social's role. For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau. The whole thing is a desperate smear.
All credit to Burnham and Compass. As for the absurd campaign of smears and abuse toward the Greens from the Labour hierarchy, just stop it. And could we see the end of Akehurst soon? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
This is a disgusting piece. What are we doing, when the supposedly left-liberal press repeats a frankly irrelevant piece of right-wing smear three days before an important election. Any slur will do, for the wrong kind of Jew. What is the Guardian doing? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On a day when the @greenparty.org.uk is being attacked re antisemitism, let's remind ourselves that the Greens have among the least antisemitic supporters in the country If you vote today, vote for a kinder, hopeful future where all people and the planet are respected and supported. #votegreen

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... It must be a decade or two since I (mostly) agreed with something Polly Toynbee wrote, but here I am. This is a really good list of things the govt could do which would start to turn us around. Sadly, they won't, because they all involve some bravery.
A strange mixture of reality and lack of imagination. The issue is to figure out what defence really is. Does defence require aircraft carriers? Bases in the Indian ocean? American nuclear warheads? I say no. Undersea drones and software? Perhaps. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pretty persistently frustrating that enviro opposition to data centres get clumsily dismissed as "NIMBY" when, as you can see here, it's well-evidenced and packed to the brim with real-world examples of material harm. And GP goes further than most in pointing out the end-goals of the system:

Vote @scottishgreens.org to bring Scotland's bus network back into public ownership 💚🚌
A Scottish bus company run by 'billionaire brothers' is considering legal action after missing out on a government grant ⬇️
Action to Protect Rural Scotland has done a great job in collating the current rash of plans for giant (allegedly "green") AI data centres which the Scottish government appears to be supporting. aprs.scot/data-centre-... In sum, they are asking for ~7Gw of 24/7 electricity.

The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait up to 15 years appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its a disgrace
THE PRIME MINISTERS SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN WILL CHANGE THE RULES FOR MIGRANT CARE WORKERS It will keep them in a temporary status for a decade or more, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised. WHEN DID THAT BECOME THE POLICY OF A LABOUR GOVERNMENT? youtu.be/G7uTFllI5ks?...

Renters are paying for the home they live in, plus their landlord's (unearned) profit These room rents are obscene Time to abolish landlordism We need a govt that sees affordable housing as its responsibility, not leave it to a deeply dysfunctional market
Our housing market is in crisis. Renters are being ripped off. We need rent controls and a massive housebuilding programme to bring back social housing. Will the government act? news.sky.com/story/rents-...
