@kighofficial incredible as ever. I know in gold blood isn't a fan favourite but mean to me specifically to joke you're going to play it in entirety for the encore. Don't threaten me with a good time!

Always thought @kighofficial hated In Gold Blood (their best album) but apparently "she's their favourite"??? Too late to add Animals or Only the Brave to the setlist for Birmingham? ;p

my impression of a labour mp

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

I'm put in mind of the overworked public sector building control inspector who admitted his failures and sobbed uncontrollably for the lives he felt he was to blame for losing. If Cameron had any humanity, he'd be doing the same. But if he did, perhaps we wouldn't be here (ends)

⚠️ Over 14,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

@keir_starmer @davidlammy, now is not the time for half measures.

The UK must suspend ALL arms to the Government of Israel.

Watch and share our latest film with @oxfamGB.

Big step this - govt confirms it will bring forward evacuation plans for residents with disabilities, and provide funding. Was a major recommendation of first phase of the Grenfell Inquiry, rejected by Conservatives

‘Yes, bystanders can save women from sexual assault. But I know first-hand that’s not always enough’

Shocking and infuriating to read the experiences of the author of this piece, who having been sexually assaulted on a Thameslink train whilst pregnant, reported with a witness and had her case ruled “not guilty”.

In the summing up the magistrate explained how a guilty verdict would have a huge impact on the man’s life, and that as she was pregnant she was ‘in a heightened emotional state and could not be relied on to give an accurate account’.

What hope do we have to rallying men to becoming active bystanders to tackling male violence against women if male judges who preside over these cases are openly misogynistic in their rulings?!

Once again: BELIEVE WOMEN.

1. How and why did the racist riots happen, and what do they tell us about where we might be heading? This thread concerns one part of the answer, the formation of what the historian Arno Meyer called a “crisis stratum” of disillusioned young men. 🧵

Illegal settlers on illegally occupied Palestinian territory torch a village they seek to illegally occupy.

Now the illegal occupier is promising to investigate the illegal acts of illegal settlers while insisting the settlements are legal.

This - from Private Eye - illustrates why it was reasonable to question the sentence lengths given to the Stop Oil protestors @RestIsPolitics

The cynical spectre of Osbornomics is haunting the Labour party - Emergency cuts, empty pockets, a ‘maxed-out credit card’: why is Rachel Reeves using the language and logic of austerity?

Got up at 7 to get the early train so obviously they've cancelled it. How did I not see this coming.

I do think we should get more credit for hosting France’s annual riots while they have the Olympics. Proper Entente cordiale
