Trapped in traffic and stuck travelling long distances to work because of car-centric planning?

Be grateful, says Mercedes-Benz’s latest advert which aims to persuade us that spending two years of our lives stuck inside a car is somehow actually a good thing.

Make no mistake. Those who spearheaded the Gaza genocide will try to relaunch it in a more ruthless manner, at the earliest opportunity.
They will fail only if there will be an alternative vision, one of recognition, life and equality for everyone.

Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred.

One reflection talking to other Jews today is how unshocking this is.

Numbing, upsetting, scary but not shocking. We all knew it was coming. Given the enormous rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, it's a surprise it hasn't happened more often.

This is as close as you get to an open announcement of genocidal intention, from a member of Netanyahu's cabinet.

I have supported the creation of a Palestinian State my whole life.

Just last week, I reaffirmed my support for the UK recognition of Palestine as a state in a joint letter with more than 100 Labour colleagues.

By continuing business as usual, Israel’s international partners are allowing the Israeli government to continue with its genocidal campaign with no consequences beyond symbolic gestures of disapproval and statements.

Very much enjoying #Wimbledon on 5 Live for the first time. Audio commentary is such a different skill to describing events for TV. Rallying behind (!) the exceptionally talented players and in awe of their versatility. For me, tennis has long been the truly beautiful game.

When Starmer was at the White House last night, I said that with Trump, things can go wrong very quickly. And they have. The treatment of Zelenskiy by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office is one of the most shocking political things I can remember. Viscerally, obviously awful.
As a piece of clothespeg-on-nose realpolitik diplomacy, so far Starmer seems to be doing a very effective job in Washington - praising and flattering a capricious US president while also making a small number of vital points very clearly. But as ever with Trump, it could all go south at speed.

One of the most shameful episodes in US history. 24 hours ago feels like a different century.
BBC News now has the footage on their live page - you can rewind slightly to the beginning of the broadcast from the Oval Office if need be.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Oded Lifshitz, a courageous man who fought for decades against injustice, was snatched from his home at the age of 84 by Hamas and was abandoned to die as a hostage by the Israeli government.

May his memory be a blessing.
