Zionism is NOT Judaism! Rather than arresting, charging violent settlers, the Israeli military backs them up. #Act for Americans including American Palestinians hurt, killed, detained by Israel @wassermanschultz.house.gov @repmoskowitz.bsky.social @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com

I have been absent from BlueSky recently because a bug prevented me from posting for a few weeks. Seems now to have been fixed now

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...

The way British democracy is being bought by crypto billionaires is simply obscene - and a direct result of Labour’s unforgivable inaction

I wasn't expecting a blog from Chris till nest week, but interesting reading, particularly his thoughts on the Jason Arday case and how it shines a light on polarised Britain.

As the nurdle spill reaches to Druridge Bay in the and North Yorkshire to the south, contract clean-up workers are being laid off. Meanwhile volunteers are feeling exploited | Peter Sagar

Unbelievable. The Government is threatening to switch off Freeview TV, forcing millions to pay for expensive broadband just to keep their telly. We have just days to force them to back down. Sign the petition and keep free TV free: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Save-Fre...

We need to show right-wing newspapers that actions have consequences. Add your name: goodlawproject.org/s/abb8a1

As a fellow "olde tyme" academic (now emeritus professor), I was horrified by the Arday tragedy and the weaponising of it by the right-wing press (obscene but not unexpected). I urge you to read this thread from Steve, which eloquently expresses my thoughts, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Something has been digging up our garden, so I set up a trail cam. Could this be the culprit?

New post: Unpicking the legacy of neoliberalism mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/08/unpi... Defending neoliberalism today beyond the familiar tropes has become so difficult because so many of the claims made for it 40 years ago are questionable at best and in some cases clearly untrue.

A bit different to my normal "tweets", but for those interested in psychology and psychopaths, both Gale and I had the misfortune of being married to one. A 🧵

Sunday Times Insight team (along with the Guardian) continue to crack open ReFUK’s dodgy money claims and finances - every Sunday now for several weeks. Murkier and more dodgy by the day.

🟡 From This Month’s Magazine: Trump is Not America, and America is More Than Trump Former British diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall found reassurance in the America she has always loved and recognised this Fourth of July – in the deep red of West Virginia Read the full story below.

Spain is demonstrating how the #energytransition can be achieved whilst bringing down electricity prices. With the massive expansion of wind and solar energy, Spain is now one of the cheapest electricity markets in EU. Gas rarely determines the price there; #renewables supply 60% of the electricity

Another thing I enjoyed reading from the beach: slate.com/news-and-pol...

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

I can’t stop thinking about Anthropic’s destructive book scanning. Obviously, it’s gross. People love books. Destroying books makes people mad. Even books they don't actually care about. AI companies know this, that’s why they try to keep their weird behavior a dirty little secret.

Long overdue for The Spectator's Islamophobia to come under the microscope. Excellent piece from Peter Oborne here doing just that. It is now, he writes, just "an upmarket version of GB News" (same owner, of course)

When an entire arena boos you for telling the truth, you quickly learn who has courage. Kris Kristofferson walking onto that stage and standing beside Sinéad as the insults rained down remains one of the most powerful acts of human decency I’ve ever seen. Three years resting in peace 🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼

There was some interesting speculation re this video. But Sam means the Sam Maguire Cup, the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Cup. Mayo triumphed against Kerry and are champions for the first time in 75 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8U5...

In case you missed it Chris Grey's ( @chrisgrey.bsky.social ) piece on Burnham was out yesterday. Well worth a read chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

This is the equivalent of asking how a £1.5m turnover company is going to pay for £100 of drinks at the Xmas party.

The sixth in an interesting retrospective series of the last 16 years of U.K. politics. Thoughtful and well informed.

The Cameron target [net migration] did not create the far right, but it did help entrench the idea that lower net migration was the obvious test of political seriousness. Once that was accepted, every failure became evidence of betrayal.
