@orieloxford.bsky.social is an appropriate venue given how much the college has benefitted from Cecil Rhodes' non-DEI plundering of Africa (and the fact his offensive statue still looks down on the High Street). It also seems that Reform have other lectures booked there.

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

The Anne Frank House definition of Zionism needs to be read carefully:

Bonus for whoever wrote this chyron

Well done to The Daily Telegraph for this layout. The Morning Star couldn't have done it better.

And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

NEC will open nominations for new leader on July 9th - after the Nato summit. If there are no other candidates, you can expect Burnham to be in Number 10 by the following week.

“If I was going to design a facility to grow algae, I would probably design a facility that had a lot of surface area and was very shallow, so you have sunlight down to the bottom... ...It’s just a perfect facility for growing algae.” Brilliant story!

In 2024 a NATO report found: "Kremlin-backed actors have been found to be pushing climate change denialism across the Alliance, all while actively attempting to derail climate change mitigation policies & renewable energy investment." Remember this when you listen to those attacking climate action.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

What on Earth?! This video is from Greenpeace. 💔

Have some longer thoughts on the Blair intervention, but big challenge for him is, fairly or not, the public aren't particularly inclined to want govt to listen. When we asked about which ex-PMs (and podcasting MPs) govt should listen to he got lowest 'worth listening to' of any ex PM bar Truss.

"We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on."

The Economist analyses Jeffrey Epstein’s correspondence and which of his contacts were most frequently in his inbox.

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

New evidence obtained by The Economist suggests that Russia may have offered to supply Iran with innovative weapons in large enough numbers to inflict many casualties on American and allied forces

Well this is quite something. Over on X @harryeccles.bsky.social, a Green candidate on the Isle of Wight, rewrites the famous poem by Martin Niemoller about Nazi erasure. But does so to leave out the Jews.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

24 April 1934 | A German Jewish boy, Kurt Peter Wiesen, was born in Eisenach. In 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Ukraine does not need symbolic membership in the EU. Ukraine is defending itself and is definitely defending Europe. And it is not defending Europe symbolically – people are really dying. We are defending it with everything we have, with all our strength."

The FT is quoted as running the story first. @pickardje.bsky.social if Zampolli is involved there is always a bad smell 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

www.theguardian.com/football/202... Zampolli is hideous, corrupt, linked to Epstein, Melania etc and used ICE to deport the mother of one of his kids. So ideally suited to dealing with FIFA. BUT this needs bigger coverage by @theguardian.com @jonathanliew.bsky.social @barneyronay.bsky.social

How the fuck can David Lammy be friends with this deeply unpleasant person? For this person to be Deputy Prime Minister shows that @labouruk.bsky.social stands for nothing more than self survival.

'Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing President Trump' Has to be one of the craziest sentences out there

Etymologically speaking, the word lunatic has really come full circle

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Anti-Orban concert in Hungary with the audience chanting “Russians, go home”

Trump has apparently decided that being linked to a sex-trafficker and being accused of rape, while bad enough to make him want to start a war to distract from it, is not as bad as being seen as a genocidal maniac and so he has decided, via his wife, to change the subject back to the former scandal.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Starmer appeasing Trump is the Chamberlain issue.

NEW STATEMENT 🚨 CIP President & CEO @nancyokail.bsky.social issued the following in response to President Trump’s escalating threats against the Iranian people:

There was a time when Madman Theory was a theory and a tactical ploy. Now we have a real Madman and it is no longer just a theory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_...

Brilliant cover

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

80-90% of Iran's oil normally goes to China.

‘To whom shall we turn when our future enemies apply the same rules of war to us as we have to them? To whom shall we turn when they assassinate our negotiators, our politicians, our journalists; when they bomb our hospitals and call them terrorist hideouts?’

The US government has agreed to pay TotalEnergies $928 million to cancel its offshore wind leases and redirect the money to oil and gas instead. This is happening during the worst global energy crisis (per IEA) in history and as rising prices put huge pressure on households and businesses.

Amazing story!
