Kyiv is celebrating Christmas. Residents of the capital gathered for caroling on St. Michael’s Square.

I’m genuinely so happy that at least part of our country can gather like this - all thanks to the people defending us this Christmas.

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

Michael Foran, Oxford Professor of Law, about this:

"Media is now reporting the possibility that several of the quotes from caselaw in Peggie v NHS Fife may be entirely fabricated. This is extraordinarily serious..."

Sandie Peggie judge has missed the point of Supreme Court ruling
His employment tribunal decision in the NHS trans case is full of mistakes and a near-masterpiece of fat-headed special-pleading

Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
I'm sorry, but these attacks are just not going to convince Green-curious voters, because Labour is so visibly out of step with those voters' core values
This by @umakumaran.bsky.social is good - and a example of exactly how Labour should be taking on the Greens; on values, direct and on Labour territory. Taking them seriously.

Over 45,000 South Sudanese refugees have fled violence in the #DRC. They now live in crowded shelters with little food or clean water.

MSF launched a response, but the situation is worsening. More organizations are needed to prevent a larger crisis.

If you do this while leaving up a statue to the Nazi-collaborating Sean Russell, then I’m afraid all you’re doing is putting weight behind the allegations.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

This latest defeat may exemplify a broader ecosystem/bubble problem for the right: so used now to preaching to the converted in media outlets and online that it struggles to understand how this language (the NT as run by or capitulating to "woke terrorists") might be received by the median member

That WW2 veteran who says that winning the war "wasn't worth it" for the state we are now in is just plain wrong.

Naziism was an evil that caused the deaths of millions and the systematic murder of millions more. Defeating it was necessary.

We need to stop treating every old person as a holy sage.

Forget any philosophical issues around ID cards

Introducing them as an anti-immigation initiative when racist attacks are soaring and your largest political rivals are proposing internment camps and mass deportations of immigrants is utter madness.

I've read Sir Laurie Magnus's conclusion and Rayner's resignation letter.

Rayner did breach the ministerial code, but in a very minor way. Under previous governments, we saw more serious breaches on a daily basis without consequence.

I hope her absence from government is short.
