Lewis Hamilton: "I'm here with the Egyptian Red Crescent as they load these boxes containing aid they have prepared to send to Gaza. They went to the Rafah border today, accompanied by their wonderful volunteers. They have more than 70,000 volunteers across Egypt, and over 2,000 people here volunteer every day to make sure these boxes are ready and packed as well as possible. They're fully ready to be
deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to
reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day."

"The people in Gaza and Palestine are in such urgent need that they could hardly need this aid more than they do right now, so we really must apply pressure.
And work together to ensure this aid gets there. There is a great deal of it, and this center is just one of several different sites that also contain such wonderful supplies, full of food, medicine, and things that individuals and families in Palestine really need."

The Chinese have denied accusations of spying as ‘baseless’. Well they would wouldn’t they? Why even mention this? #r4today

One tiny figure, a strip of sand, a sky filling most of the canvas. Heinrich von Kleist wrote that looking at it felt as if one's eyelids had been cut away. Friedrich painted out details he had already added.

@BriefcaseMike @BBCr4today I’d speculate that the US pays for the trip, top billing in our news and a soft power bargain. #r4today #specialrelationship #vassalstate

@FerrariF1FRA There was talk of Leclerc’s penalty being reduced because Hamilton also left the track. Nobody mentions that Hamilton subsequently made the corner and gained no advantage unlike Leclerc.

@apunkarchive Youthful impressionability likely also a factor. We were boys buying records made by men. Other way around now.

Zack Polanski would doubtless have loved to win the Holborn by-election. He managed to triple the Greens' share of the vote, in a difficult seat for the party and in the midst of Labour's short Burnham honeymoon.

Yet the media reaction is as one: shouldn't Polanski resign? The question isn't a question at all. It's a prompt your brain is supposed to interpret as proof he's failed, he's damaging the party, he needs to be replaced.

It's intended to bypass the reality that Polanski has turned the party's fortunes around in terms of vote share and MPs, that the Greens are now a major insurgent force in UK politics, that he helped drive Starmer out of office and is driving Burnham further left than either Burnham or the Blairite Labour bureaucracy are inclined to go to win back the left.

The sanctions against Israel's illegal settlements happened because of the Polanski-led Greens, not because Labour suddenly saw the light – after three years of conspiring in a genocide.

The Green surge under Polanski is also driving the break-up of the cosy old two-party closed shop that has overseen the wrecking of Britain's industrial base and the economy's dependency on a financial sector whose only policy is ever-deepening austerity for you and me.

Those are the reasons the political and media class want Polanski gone. And they will keep trying to short-circuit your brain into thinking that that would be good for the country rather than just for them.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability. We might have thought that the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust were enough to inoculate us against the toxins there revealed and unleashed. But our resistance quickly fades. A new generation gladly abandons its critical and skeptical faculties. Old slogans and hatreds are dusted off. What was only recently muttered guiltily is now offered as political axiom and agenda. There are renewed appeals to ethnocentrism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, and territoriality. And with a sigh of relief we are apt to surrender to the will of the alpha, or long for an alpha we can surrender to.”
