Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.
Join us. The time is now.

I was going to call this dumb, but former NTSB board member John Goglia just texted me and told me to reply with this instead:
The issue raised in The Rehearsal is whether the authority gradient affects copilots' willingness to assert themselves at critical junctures and captains' willingness to hear copilots in those moments.
Neither the question nor the answer dealt with this well-recognized cockpit issue. Nor the NTSB's analysis of the issue of what was lacking in current training and its recommendation of role-playing to ameliorate this situation.
Really enjoyed chatting to @bbboatclub on the Blindboy Podcast. We spoke about Thatcher, the power of art, and Palestine.
Good craic!

I mean seriously is there a sicker society in the world than one where people lose their jobs and then just roam the streets starving and covered in dirt and everyone just says "don't look at them"
How did we get here?
How did we let an army announce to the world the destruction of a people, and then level every home, seize every field, shatter every possession they had—even with laughter.
How did we let them kidnap, torture, and rape—even with dogs.
And now, starve them—even the children.
And what unshakable belief blinds us to what we—collectively—have done.
May they have mercy.
Absolutely infuriating listening to the Martens "defence". The recordings only show the horrendous pressure JC was under. Outrageous. Molly and Tom should be in prison for life. Sarah and Jack are incredibly strong people.

The nine brave and beautiful Red Crescent medical personnel that Israel executed. They lived 16 months of a genocide and were still risking their lives to help others. All while the world imprisons people for saying it’s wrong.
Israel is intentionally destroying as many Palestinians it can—irrespective of age, gender, health, or religion—using all means available. This is a genocide in plain sight, and it is absolutely outrageous that European states continue to prioritize their economic/financial/military ties with Israel over stopping this massacre.
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
Garron Noone being championed by every far-right clown in Ireland.
I'll go through what he said in order to go way, way up in the estimation of bigots.
Also some factual counterpoints to his views, which in my opinion could charitably be described as "ignorant shite." /1
