Andy Burnham, as the UK's new Prime Minister, should rule out weakening copyright law to benefit AI companies.

He has a great opportunity to do so. The Labour Party under Starmer became, in 2 years, the party of AI boosterism. Ministers got incredibly close to US big tech companies; the government's closest advisors on AI were big tech CEOs and AI investors.

As a result, the government put forward a proposal to hand the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free - which received only 3% of the public's support when it went to consultation. The government was totally out of whack with public opinion, which is *hugely* in favour of requiring AI companies to pay for the resources they make millions from.

They walked back this insane plan - but they stopped short of making a decision on how to proceed.

Just last week, the Australian PM fought off intense tech industry lobbying and said Australia will not legalise the theft of creative work by AI companies. Burnham should follow his lead, and make it clear that this government will put the interests of British people ahead of the interests of overseas tech giants.

🚨 ISRAELI SETTLERS are now SETTING FIRE to Palestinian families’ lands and properties in the village of Susya, in Masafer Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank city of Al Khaleel.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning Palestinian homes and farmland in the village of Susya, occupied West Bank — in the middle of the night.

Families are watching their homes burn.

This is organized terror. Pure and simple.

🔴 Lebanese Ministry of Health: 4 people killed in an Israeli drone strike today in Nabatieh Al Fowka.

Israeli forces are advancing into the town of Haddatha, doing machine guns sweeps and demolishing homes. While we were filming, they shot close to us and we had to take cover.

Americans, your tax dollars are paying for this terrorism.

Israel executed Walid today in the occupied West Bank with a bullet to the head.

He was only 16 years old.

For your information, this video was taken just an hour ago. It shows Israel blowing up buildings east of Khan Younis.

Again and again, shame on Western media that continues to call this a “ceasefire.”

By the Western media’s definition, an Israeli “ceasefire” apparently includes the continued killing of families, especially those with very young children, blowing up residential buildings, burning tents sheltering displaced people, banning international journalists, blocking life-saving medical supplies, and restricting, and on many days completely preventing, patients from leaving Gaza for urgently needed medical treatment abroad.

🚨NEW: KC Anu Mohindru has been allowed to continue being a barrister despite falsely claiming that he studied medicine at Oxford University and for claiming that he was a qualified doctor.

He also claimed that he had played cricket for the Bar, for Lashings Cricket Club and for MCC, and that he was a cricketing blue having represented Oxford in a varsity match against Cambridge.

A tribunal disbarred him for telling his 23 Essex Street interviewers a “reckless, foolish and completely unnecessary lie” about studying at Oxford, and because he “doubled down" on his CV.

On appeal at the High Court, Mr Justice Johnson overturned  Mohindru's expulsion, stating that it "would be wrong to impose the ultimate sanction merely because dishonesty is present".

Hello @Ed_Miliband, Secretary of State @energygovuk: this is unspeakable, isn't it? Your govt needs to challenge, actually challenge, the Israeli siege of Gaza (diplomats in 4x4s could make a start), & sanction the Israeli regime. Why don't you? @paraicobrien @AlexCrawfordSky

The Other Face of Gaza… How the Occupation Changed Lives and Faces

“My children and people are afraid of how I look… I face painful and difficult situations every day.”

With these words, Najwa Abu Atiwi, a mother of five, describes the tragedy she has been living through since she suffered severe injuries in an Israeli airstrike that completely changed her face.

Najwa sustained devastating injuries, including extensive fractures to her facial bones, upper jaw, nose, and cheek. She also lost her right eye entirely. Despite undergoing several surgeries, she continues to suffer from severe facial disfigurement and extreme difficulty opening her mouth, eating, and speaking, turning even the simplest daily tasks into a painful struggle.

The suffering is not only physical. The psychological pain runs even deeper. Najwa lost one of her daughters, and with that loss came another devastating reality—she also lost her facial features. Today, even her own children are frightened by her appearance.

Doctors warn that her condition could worsen due to the severe lack of medical resources and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system. They stress that she urgently needs to travel abroad for treatment, including reconstructive surgery for her facial bones and skull, a prosthetic eye, and complex surgeries to rebuild her nose and eyelids.

Najwa does not only need medical treatment—she needs a second chance at life.
A chance to reclaim her face, her smile, and her ability to embrace her children without fear.

Save Najwa before it is too late.

This breaks the hearts of Palestinian farmers (it's meant to), and ours too. The hard-hearted colonisers want the land cleared of the people, their skills, their livelihoods; but in an Israeli garden centre they're not above buying a rescued 100-yr old tree for the patio...

British Medical Association votes down IHRA anti-semitism definition to protect doctors criticizing Israel from NHS discipline
——
The British Medical Association (BMA), representing over 200,000 UK doctors, has voted to reject the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-semitism within the National Health Service (NHS).

Passed at the union's annual meeting, the motion calls for an immediate investigation into how the definition has been weaponized to suppress legitimate political speech and professional expression regarding Israeli war crimes in Palestine.

The milestone vote directly challenges a recent UK government review by Lord John Mann, which used the IHRA framework to recommend mandatory training, a ban on political symbols, and a prohibition on NHS staff attending protests in uniform.

BMA members also passed emergency measures to halt the rollout of these state directives, overruling internal complaints from some attendees who alleged the motion itself was anti-semitic. The decision follows a surge in what doctors describe as highly organized, malicious doxxing campaigns and vexatious complaints designed to derail their careers.

High-profile figures, including emergency doctor Nadeem Crowe and British-Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sitta, have faced suspensions and regulatory overreach by the General Medical Council (GMC) over social media posts, leading the BMA to legally oppose the GMC's right to appeal and repeatedly investigate doctors cleared of wrongdoing.
