Nigeria and Venezuela both produce more oil than they need.
The USA is running out of oil.
Donald Trump wants to invade Nigeria and Venezuela.
It's not a complex problem, can you solve it?

Starmer urged to apologise as MP says rioting by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans justifies their ban from Aston Villa game – UK politics live
Independent MP Ayoub Khan makes comments after Tel Aviv football derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting
Keir Starmer’s national grooming gang inquiry has suffered a blow after a prominent survivor resigned from its overseeing panel saying she disagreed with a shortlist of two possible chairs, Rajeev Syal reports.
The independent MP Ayoub Khan has called for an apology from Keir Starmer for his criticism of West Midlands police at the end of last week after it proposing banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an Aston Villa match in Birmingham next month. Starmer suggested this amounted to capitulation to antisemitism, and the government is now trying to ensure the police get the resources they need to ensure the Maccabi fans can attend.

Please read my column today in conjunction with Aditya's. The government pretends to be delivering housing to those who need it, but is in fact just appeasing the big corporations. Then it blames nature protections, and rips those down at their behest as well.

Right to protest under ‘sustained attack’ across the west, report finds
Counter-terror laws being ‘weaponised’ against pro-Palestine groups in UK, US, France and Germany, says FIDH
The right to protest has come under “sustained attack” across the west , according to a report highlighting the growing criminalisation of pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
The study by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) pays particular attention to the UK, the US, France and Germany, where it says governments have “weaponised” counter-terrorism legislation as well as the fight against antisemitism to suppress dissent and support for Palestinian rights in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.
And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.
Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

So Palestine is recognised as a State -long overdue- by four more countries today. It feels like a bureaucratic fudge as Gaza city get blown apart and the Occupied West Bank has settlers killing Palestinians regularly.

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.
Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.
The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Not said anything about "Your Party." So here is my 2p. It is laudable. I'm pleased they are open to collaborating with the Greens and visa versa. I like the optimism it has bought about but the 500,000 who have joined were probably always going to. that effect.
