A brief thread on the interference with humanitarian aid to conflict zones.

Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,

is
a
crime
against
humanity

under the Rome Statute. This applies to anyone, acting from anywhere.

How extraordinarily fortunate for Wes Streeting that the only text messages he sent Peter Mandelson just happened to be exactly the sort of things other Labour MPs want to hear from a potential leadership candidate

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

I know I've said something like this before - but Labour's astroturfing is probably the most embarrassing in global politics. Search '18 months' and you'll see what the latest copy and paste message is.

Exhibit 18 to that affidavit also had video footage of Byrne elbowing the same lawyer at the same depo in another part of the hotel. Incredible stuff.

@lizdye.bsky.social @andrewtorrez.bsky.social if you haven't seen the great footage of Patrick Byrne's crazy lawyer Peter Ticktin shoving Eric Coomer's counsel at a hotel deposition (which he lies about afterwards to the magistrate judge!) you'll love it caincloud.egnyte.com/dl/qChYxrGKB...

Simple enough to take the address directly to Treasury Board. Power over government comms is pretty directly expressed by cabinet

So needless to say I’m not used to getting this treatment either although I have in the past occasionally. What I would say is write to the relevant Minister (which for government communications is the President of the Treasury Board, Shafqat Ali) and mention that Mr Rana has not answered a letter.

IMPORTANT: the small boy that Bad Bunny gave the Grammy Award to during the Super Bowl halftime is NOT Liam Ramos. It is a child actor and model, legendary television and Hollywood star Fred Savage.

Its funny whenever there's a resignation from Labour. It's always 'respected smoother Sleve McDichael steps down. MPs express their dismay.' and a 5 minute google search reveals Sleve chummy with every hard-right lobbying group Tufton Street shits out.

Funny how often this stuff happens, eh?
