Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Lots of claims flying around this week (eg Nigel Farage who thinks we can be "self-sufficient" in gas) that the UK can drill its way to energy security. Here's why that's a fantasy, as I explained to Reform's Richard Tice on LBC earlier:

I’m now imagining a wartime Kuenssberg or Chris Mason. “Well, the people of Coventry have one view of being bombed. But now let’s hear from Oswald Mosley.”
When Oswald Mosley was on the rise in the 1930s, the BBC weren't giving him spots on Bandwagon and Happidrome. You never heard a politician on Henry Hall's Guest Night.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
