"The man widely expected to be Britain’s next prime minister was billed to headline a rally in a south London park this morning. Andy Burnham never turned up. The crowd that gathered instead heard from the Green Party’s Zack Polanski."

No brief for Ed Miliband, but the fact that Unite & GMB choose amidst an unprecedented heatwave to lobby to block his appointment as chancellor because he pushes for decarbonisation is the narrowest, most unthinking of what Gramsci described as ‘economic-corporate’ politics.

How about...

Nationalisation with no compensation for shareholders?

The shooter in Montreal was believed to have been an incel, and not a Muslim, an Arab, or an immigrant. So:
1) what the hell are you talking about?
2) why is this tweet still up, without an apology or correction?
3) why should anyone take seriously anything you say ever again?

[NewsCord @newscord_org]

The Spectator just told its readers the evidence that Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza "simply isn't there," and that the UN's 94-page report is "a doctor's guess."

Here is what is actually in the report, Jonathan Sacerdoti says is empty:

• Two independent forensic pathologists. CT scans. Forensic analysis in 15 of 17 cases.

• An audio ballistic analysis that identified the exact weapon and the firing distance.

• A 10-day-old baby was shot in the head while breastfeeding in his mother's tent in Nuseirat. Named. Dated. The bullet was analysed.

He calls this "unverified" with "nothing connecting the dots." The report cross-references every source and authenticates it with geolocation, metadata and forensic imaging.

This is not an opinion you're free to disagree with. These are false statements of fact about a public document. Under IPSO's Editors' Code, Clause 1 (Accuracy) applies to comment pieces too.

Bloody customers, what’s all that about, expecting to turn their taps on and have clean drinking water come out of it, the entitlement of it all, the righteous of it.

I’ll tell you I’m not having it, I’m just not having it.

Day three of Nick Ferrari on @LBC, bemoaning the state of our country reacting to the heat.

Guests phoning in to complain about their grandchildren being sent home from nursery because they're snowflakes ... seriously.

1976 — blah, blah, blah.

This wilful ignorance about our climate emergency is feeding the doubt across a large swathe of the country who refuse the science.

I challenge Ferrari to turn off the air conditioning in his studio for one three-hour session during a heatwave. Just once.

He would not be able to work.

And his working day is less than half of that of every school child in the country.

Come on @NickFerrariLBC — turn the AC off now and give an honest report.

WTAF are you talking about?

Rumeysa Ozturk spent 6 WEEKS locked in ICE detention for writing an anti-Israel op-ed for her college newspaper.

Dan Goldman got refunded for the coffee he’d already drank.

There is literally ZERO comparison.

Sally died because the supported living home she lived in forgot to give her her medication for 300 days. An inquest found she died from neglect but the CQC failed to bring forward a prosecution

The problem isn't just the regulator. Its the fact that we've privatised social care

[Daniel Lismore @daniellismore]

The rising temperature of the planet will be the largest driver of forced migration this century. The people warning loudest about refugees are the same people doing nothing to stop the conditions that produce them. If you will not act on climate change you have no standing to talk about refugees.

[Daniela Gabor @DanielaGabor]

it was surprising to hear @UniteSharon criticize Ed Miliband's record as 'job destroying' climate activism.

We hope she reconsiders, on the day where UK is under extreme heat warnings.

The climate crisis is real, we need a Chancellor who fights it.

[Daniela Gabor @DanielaGabor]

As a proud union member, this short-sightedness of union management infuriates me.

They're fighting Miliband because he's 'destroyed fossil jobs', cause he's too green.

All this in a week of boiling temperatures.

Completely fucking unreal. 30 years for engaging in protected 1st amendment activity. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20!

NEW: Leaked emails from the inbox of former Israeli PM Ehud Barak reveal details of his work with Jeffrey Epstein to pursue economic and political interests across Africa—including the involvement of private military contractors linked to Israeli intelligence involved in the resource wars currently tearing apart the Democratic Republic of Congo. Emails between Barak and former Mossad chief Danny Yatom include documents about a private military force hired to train the Congolese army to fight the M23 movement which is still battling Kinshasa. Around the same time as these efforts, Epstein and Barak were involved in a series of overlapping endeavors aimed at winning access to oil and mineral resources in the region, while Epstein helped lobby in DC for the removal of sanctions on investors with mining interests in the Congo in the year before his death.

This is the latest in our ongoing series on Epstein and Barak's economic and political activities and their work with Israeli intelligence. Link in next post:

This is an atrocious headline from BBC News.

"Alleged ties to Antifa".

Antifa is not a group.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If this was any other country, it would be huge news, and most western governments would be loudly condemning it.

But it’s Israel so…

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

It rained every day for the first 4 months of the year. These pronouncements happen because of years of under investment in reservoirs by our privatised water industry. But at least it’s made a load of shareholders rich!

Private equity controls UK dentistry.

Initial consultation fee up by 23%, tooth extraction up by 32%.

Gross profit at private equity controlled companies rose by 20% year-on-year.

Profit margins of 20%-30%.

Too many can't afford dental care.
