Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians

From my friend, Nabil, in Gaza. How can our govts be more focused on suppressing criticism of Israel, than acting to stop these war crimes? I’m filled with despair, anger, outrage and frustration, and deeply, deeply anguished for the people of Gaza.

Someone needs to invent some kind of online calculator whereby we Brits can put in our recent healthcare appointments/meds/experiences and it’ll calculate what it would cost on average in the USA. Just to hammer home how bloody lucky we are to have the NHS and how fiercely we need to protect it.

I had a puncture today. One completely flat tyre 25 miles from home. It took a lot of perseverance and a few kicks but I changed it all by myself. I feel invincible.

Any journalist who thinks currying favor with this regime will work for you: think again.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.
