With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C).

I see we’re already trying to rehabilitate Mr turn off the water in Gaza

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

A Scottish fan chanted, "Free Palestine."

"I was a nurse in Gaza. I volunteered in Gaza. I’ve seen what happens. There is a genocide. Free Palestine."

She's a hero.

@LlZTRUSS Dont forget a 1/5 of that time was national mourning and a 1/4 if you include weekends with that.

Andy Burnham…

🚩Joined Labour Friends of Israel in 2015

🚩Said the first place he’d visit as leader would be Israel

🚩Refused to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide

🚩Opposes the BDS movement calling it “spiteful”

The players change, but the game stays the same

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

Starmer fulfilled his personal ambition of becoming Prime Minister. To do so he betrayed everyone who voted for him in the Labour leadership contest, then he betrayed everyone who voted Labour expecting something resembling a Labour government. No revisionism please, he was shite

[Tommy Miles @tommymiles]

The amount of waist-deep involvement Western militaries have had in the actual perpetration of the gaza genocide will only be accepted decades from now in the West, but was clear from the first days for any honest observer.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The party is over @BorisJohnson.

Resign.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Keir Starmer has officially resigned as Prime Minister of the UK.

He is also resigning as leader of the Labour party.

[Sir Norman of Nowhere. 🏴‍☠️ @Normanjam67]

The first foreign visit I would do as leader of the Labour Party will be to Israel.
Andy Burnham.
Hope, my arse.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

They'll call him a "decent man." He is not.

He oversaw one of the most aggressive assaults on British civil liberties in generations, all to protect Israel's genocide and Britain's participation in the crime of all crimes.

He shouldn't be resigning. He should be in The Hague

In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22.

Today it was announced that over 300 million journeys have been taken under the scheme!

Now it's time to go further.

Making bus travel free for all would help us build a fairer, greener Scotland.

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Imagine for a second that a real estate conference took place in London where Russian occupiers sold stolen Ukrainian land and property.

You have to imagine, because that rightly wouldn't have been allowed. If it's stolen Palestinian land though, that's apparently totally fine.

For people outside the UK who might not be aware:

If anyone here replies "yes" to this tweet, they could be arrested. Yes really!

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Palestine Action is in good company. British governments and courts criminalised resistance to slavery, the Chartist movement for universal male suffrage, any organising by trade unionists, and the Suffragette movement to win women the vote.

None of our rights were given to us by the ruling class. We had to fight for each of them tooth and nail.

The British establishment is always on the wrong side of history, because history is with the struggle of ordinary people, not with the selfish interests of the billionaires and war industries.

Those earlier struggles were deemed the terrorism of their day by the very same "liberals" – the British establishment and its useful idiots – who today declare any practical action to stop British complicity in Israel's genocide to be terrorism.

Note too as proof of bad faith: the British establishment is well advanced in its efforts to declare entirely peaceful protest – marches through the streets – as anti-social, hate crimes and soon enough terrorism too.

The ruling class consider attempts to stop a genocide, even holding a banner against the mass murder of children, to be far worse than racist pogroms in Belfast, which try to burn alive people in their homes because of the colour of their skin.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is absolutely insane.

The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.

They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.

They killed five people!

Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

The difference between Palestine Action the suffragettes is that the Suffragettes made and used bombs.

Palestine Action sought to disable arms factories producing weapons used by Israel in its genocide of Gaza.

Curiously, the suffragettes described THEMSELVES as terrorists. Pankhurst stated that the suffragettes committed violent acts because they wanted to "terrorise the British public"

[keewa 🇵🇸 @keewa]

Again: a suffragette threw an axe at Herbert Asquith

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

The Court is clear, we should instead protest like the Suffragettes; by whipping politicians in the streets until they give us what we want.
