The moral of this story is that, in democracies, power resides with the people - it is only ever temporarily lent to politicians. There is always another election or a term limit on the horizon. Your vote is powerful - use it and never let them take it for granted.
I want to tell you a story about an old man, with a silly name and ridiculous hair, who was born in New York, became a media personality and then a right wing politician. 🧵
Never heard Oxfam condemn anything so strongly as they condemn Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people…because it is a stain on humanity. The level of brutality is staggering!
There comes a point when you need to accept…
That there is no convincing some people
Especially those deluded or stupid enough to think that billionaires playing politics have their best interests at heart.
🚨 BREAKING: The New York Times just dropped a full-page editorial with one message—"Vote to End the Trump Era."
They're not holding back, laying out exactly how Trump’s attacks on democracy, obsession with power, and disregard for the truth make him unfit to lead.
If he's re-elected, they warn, it’s game over for rights, justice, and the environment. America deserves better.
Time to make it count.
I don’t think they’ll ever understand the deep ocean of real anger people who lost loved ones while they partied feel over this. It’s like a parking ticket to them. To thousands of bereaved people it’s the worst time of their life. The arrogance is staggering.

This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol I Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel

Tories have elected as leader the perfect amalgam.
The lies, arrogance and superiority of Boris Johnson, the total batshit belief in her own righteousness of Liz Truss, and the callous economic ineptitude of Rishi Sunak.

Terrific reporting by @C4Dispatches and the Sunday Times on the sources of the immense wealth Charles and William trouser. I wouldn’t change a word of what I wrote in fortnight ago
As someone who had to regularly phone people to tell them their loved one was dying and they couldn’t see them, saw parents separated as they children clung on to life, can I say that the “stuff around partygate” was absolutely not overblown. I remain spectacularly angry.
