Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Yesterday, the Co-op announced that it will implement the motion passed at its AGM last month by ending the sourcing of products from Israel.

This is a major BDS victory – the first major UK supermarket to commit not to stock any Israeli goods.

Members of the COOP please follow these instructions to vote for Motion 13 to take all Israeli products off the shelves: 🙏
It just takes moments!
CO-OP AGM 2025 HAVE YOUR SAY - Vote in Favour of Motion 13 - Members Motion - Trading with Israel: ‘We ask the Board to demonstrate fairness and consistency in its ethical decisions and cease all trading with Israel. The Co-op was the first supermarket to boycott Russian products in March 2022, a week after the invasion of Ukraine. Since October 2023, Israel has completely destroyed Gaza and wiped out its key infrastructure – including schools, hospitals and universities. By July 2024, it was estimated that at least 186,000 Gazans – mainly women and children – had been killed as a result of the bombing, destruction of health facilities, and denial of essential aid (The Lancet 20.7.24). The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel has a ‘plausible case to answer’ for genocide and that Israel’s laws in the Palestinian Territories Occupied since 1967 are ‘tantamount to apartheid’. Israel has invaded the sovereign nations of Lebanon and Syria. We urge the Board to show moral courage and leadership, apply the same ethical principles and values it did to Russia, and take all Israeli products off the shelves.’

Wherever and whenever any of us summon up the guts and the courage to get up on the stand and kick out the motherfucking jams, the spirit of the MC5 will be right there with us. MC5, welcome home to where you belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Response to Kemi Badenoch's "Conservatism in Crisis" from our CEO, James Cusack (@jamcusack).

Badenoch's comments are part of a damaging and, unfortunately, growing trend where people attempt to use issues like #autism and #neurodiversity to gain political capital by making overly simplistic and ignorant assumptions.

@stephensackur @BBCHARDtalk This a very strange decision, a superb programme that does what no other format on BBC News does.
BBC News is becoming increasingly less relevant. More focused on reporting gossip or looking for a sensational sound bite #ChrisMason

If you are in the workforce, you are protected in employment terms from day 1, you can more easily claim for unfair dismissal, and can also require your employer makes ‘reasonable adjustments’ to your job. #Natspec #SEND #DisabilityRightsUK

To get a good understanding of the direction the Conservative Party is likely to go I recommend you read Conservatism in Crisis - Rise of the Bureaucratic Class.

There are a number of worrying statements in the paper, but this stood out. I was not aware that anxiety is a neurodiversity condition and that by having a diagnosis you get preferential treatment.
Here are the relevant paragraphs.

@Natspec @ClareH_Natspec Unfortunately it gives the impression that Ofsted do not understand the need for all learner groups to be represented.

[Nigel Evans #FBPE @nigel_john01]

@Natspec @ClareH_Natspec This was a one off opportunity to take advantage of the knowledge and insights representatives from the general FE and specialist college could bring to shaping the future of Ofsted.
