Hunger in Gaza is making us long for food that reminds us of ordinary days. A bowl of thin lentil broth might temporarily fill the stomach, but not the soul.

It's maddening that experts have to spend precious time correcting mainstream media messaging! In fact The Times lied and the key message from the OBR (the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility) is as below. Read more here: www.carbonbrief.org/obr-net-zero...

Short-term, governments need to stand together to challenge this aggression. Long-term, they need to start working towards a fairer trade model, which stops prioritising the interests of big corporations, and starts putting ordinary people, here and across the world, first.

Our statement on Trump’s new tariff threats👇

This column does not express support for Palestine Action – here’s why | Owen Jones
In Britain’s increasingly authoritarian society, any sort of protest can find itself at odds with the law. You might even go to jail, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

At 6 a.m missile hit, unlike anything I’ve ever heard.
The sound, the pressure, the vibration, it felt like it pulled the air from my lungs as it fell, whistling
No explosion. No clue where it landed
I still don’t know,
was it a missile? A suicide drone? A plane crash?
Just fear, raw and unanswered.
