Such is the cheapening of Palestinian lives that the murder of 25 of them merely 'tests', not 'breaks' this thing that is still somehow called a 'ceasefire'.

We're truly at the point where the 'Hate The Forrins!' policies of Labour, Reform Ltd and the Tories are utterly indistinguishable.
Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’
Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’
Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’
A Reform UK government would block EU nationals from receiving universal credit, a move that would rip up the post-Brexit trade deal with Europe and risk potential retaliation from Brussels.
It is among several proposals that will be announced by Nigel Farage at a press conference on Tuesday. The party claims its measures would save £25bn a year in total – enough to cover the supposed shortfall faced by Rachel Reeves in next week’s budget. Continue reading...

It would be one thing having a "debate" on immigration if people meant they wanted a "debate" based on facts. But what most people seem to mean when they say they want a debate is that is they want us to pretend a bunch of entirely made up bullshit is true.

I wish we could swap Starmer's useless cabinet of frauds and cowards with people like Caroline, with a bit of fire and passion about them. But no, Labour's pitiful response to Farage every time is, "Let's not oppose his lies, maybe Reform voters will switch to us?"
FFS - ignoring them doesn’t make them go away. And the vacuum is filled by ever more angry bile. Farage needs to be challenged at every step - the snake oil salesman who promised leaving the EU would “give us back control” (that went well) now promising that leaving the ECHR will do the same…
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.
Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

🚨 A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

In any sane countries, this wouldn't be merely the 7th biggest story on the Guardian's homepage or 10th on the BBC's. The media's "Palestinian lives don't matter" campaign clearly ongoing.

We stand with the Hillsborough families. Their fight is our fight.

Tony Blair’s thinktank worked with a project developing a postwar Gaza plan that included the creation of a “Trump Riviera” and a manufacturing zone named after Elon Musk.
The project, led by Israeli business people and using financial models developed by the US consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG), was developed against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s vision of taking over the Palestinian territory and transforming it into a resort. Continue reading...

But when a man writes personal lyrics he's a "brave, soul-baring genius" or something.
Lorde’s new album is diluted by a modern problem: self-consciousness verging on self-obsession, Spencer Kornhaber writes:
Lorde Is Looking in the Mirror. Again.
The singer who changed the sound of modern pop is stuck in her own head.
