Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
My rage knows no bounds

I don't really go in for 'the BBC is biased'. But there can be a worrying contrast between how the media treats populists (as if it's overly-grateful for their attention) and how it lays into moderates. We shouldn't lose perspective: only one side is committed to democracy!
Bit strange to hear the Today programme interviewing the CEO of Newsmax like he's a public intellectual, then interviewing a Labour minister like he's a war criminal

I think about this poem by Ian Duhig — about Jo Cox, the Labour MP assassinated by a man shouting ‘Britain first’ — every day at the moment. No other contemporary poet has looked so clearly at the political reality of the far right as a minority who must always be appeased

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Is it wrong to say I prefer it?
Also in historical anniversaries today, it’s the 521st anniversary of Michelangelo’s David being unveiled, so it’s time to remind you of what the big marble chap looked like during WWII

the new space is needed as no longer will the National Gallery limit itself to works created before 1900, as was informally agreed with Tate in 1996
the two institutions have now reached a new landmark agreement on how to expand Britain's national collection together 🖼️

Such sad, sad news. This was my local bookshop, and we'd often chat about books (obvs), reviews, and often whatever music he was playing (invariably good); he'd ask about the Writing programme, too.
These places are so important, and the people who make them, too. Such a terrible loss.

Melvyn Bragg has been one of the last standard-bearers for a really important, and unfashionable, idea: that good conversation, between people who really know their stuff, on complex or difficult subjects, can be fantastic radio - and that the national broadcaster should do this.
I hope it endures.

I don't believe in mob violence nor government censorship of speech but it's very hard not to notice that the government that are imprisoning pensioners for opposing genocide with writing on cardboard are worried that people might not be free enough to call for acts of violence against trans women.

A Baptist minister has been arrested in Oxford for holding a placard reading ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’. Rev Grote of New Road Baptist Church said ‘I am doing this because of my faith. I’m doing this because I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, who broke the rules and created peace.’
