I talk about this in my book – politicians have become glorified pundits. Why is the government in a beef with a rap group? Build some fucking high speed rail you losers.
it is insane that not even aardman knows how they did this. like they said even with all the technology today this train chase is impossible to replicate
it's actually crazy how something like this will never be made again
The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.
When I was a school teacher in northern Israel in 1973-74, the Jews where I taught proudly told me they blew up the Arabs houses which were there before so that no one could come back.
This goes back to 1948.
'Unquestionably a safe pair of hands' - a truly incredible way for a journalist to describe the person who was cornered into panic-calling a referendum that consigned British global influence to the dustbin and blew an unfathomably large hole in its GDP, for eternity.
Last night’s events in the Middle East felt seismic and pivotal for the region.
For Gaza, the night played out as many others, with Israeli strikes hitting a school and orphanage where displaced people were sheltering.
Warning - distressing images.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
Google provided £10,000 of hospitality to senior Labour figures & the party ditched plans to raise the Digital Services Tax.
Quadrature, a Cayman Islands hedge-fund which invests in fossil fuels, donated £4m & its climate advisory board co-chair is now Climate Envoy.
It stinks.
The fact that a senior civil servant who specialised in assessing arms exports to Israel has ended his 18-year career because he thinks the Foreign Office "may be complicit in war crimes", and not a single national outlet has reported it, is frightening. We have a captive media.
