EXCL:

Zack Polanski overheard speaking loudly on his phone on a train saying there's shit loads of new green party members.

And the Greens are going to win elections right across England and Wales in May.

Robert Peston, "Wouldn't you regret Reform UK coming through in Gorton and Denton if The Greens split the left vote?"

Zack Polanski, "We cannot say that Keir Starmer's Labour would be a left wing vote"

"This is the party that wanted to slash disability benefits, then had to be shamed not to do it"

"It's the same party that eventually lifted the two child benefit cap, but it took over 18 months of children living in poverty"

"And it's the same party that is arming an ongoing genocide in Gaza"

"So I don't think on any metric you can say Keir Starmer's Labour party represents the left in the country"

"That's why I'm confident and not complacent that we can win in Gorton and Denton"

i have nothing but respect for atheist and agnostic folks because genuinely, where do you go when it fucking hurts? when the world feels small and your pain too big for it, where do you go when you choke on your helplessness if not to some divine being....i genuinely dont think

Funny way of saying: "We raised the bus fare cap by 50%" 🤔

it continues to be an extremely Bad Sign that the Met is actively asserting itself as a public political actor these days

Not a single person prosecuted. The evidence now being tidied away.

[mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸 @mohammedIhysse]

When I defended my Master’s thesis under the bombing and rubble of Gaza, the very first question I was asked was:
“Why defend it under these circumstances? What benefit will it bring you now?”

I smiled and answered:
“Maybe I will die holding this degree, maybe it will be a symbol of resilience and strength, and maybe I will inspire others not to abandon their dreams — even in danger, even when death is near.”

This is who I am.
I am proud of what I did.
Proud that I defended my Master’s during the war.
Proud to have become a Palestinian researcher ✌️

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today.

While you're all talking about Charlie Kirk, Israel just took more hostages in one single day than Hamas has taken in their entire existence.

Today, London is experiencing its worst ever rat infestation since the Great Plague of 1665.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

Lilith is in a perpetual state of anxiety because when it is demanded of her that she "authenticate" herself she has no cell phone upon which to receive a special code; thus, like the man without a country, she has no identity, she is shunned by all authenticated persons.

@ellasmr ‘evil!! horrible!!’ so real

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

This footage is extremely clear. It is the Met Police assaulting people, not the other way round.
