Petition · Oppose Tony Blair's appointment to Gaza administration - Change.org - well over 5300 signatures and seems to have second wind! Let’s get 6K! @andre_spicer @LavenderNRed @PSCupdates @andrewfeinstein change.org/p/oppose-tony-…
Owen Jones has done lots of brilliant work opposing Starmer's government, on the Israeli genocide etc. But let's not forget Owen supported Starmer's leadership in 2020, when lots of us were already opposed theguardian.com/commentisfree/… x.com/owenjonesjourn…
I warned - over and over again - that Keir Starmer would be a disastrous prime minister. That most political journalists did not understand the obvious tells its own story. New post, with receipts 👇 owenjones.news/p/i-warned-you…
By this logic, the PLO is a Zionist movement, Edward Said was a pioneering Zionist intellectual, Hamas became Zionist after 2006, and majorities-to-pluralities of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories have long supported Zionism.
The Guardian prints a report about the US plan for the Western Sahara but doesn't think to include anything about how the pro-independence Polisario Front, or any other Western Sahara groups, feel about it @WSCUK @carneross @SZunes
This feels like something we might want to talk about. A 2.6C temperature increase would mean "global disaster" and "the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe," says Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics x.com/novaramedia/st… #ClimateCrisis @GreenRupertRead @medialens
The world is on track for a catastrophic global heating increase of 2.6C above preindustrial levels by the end of the century, according to a Climate Action Tracker (CAT) report. This is the same temperature rise predicted last year. It means governments have not taken the steps…
"Why did the overwhelming majority of the 62 UNISON sponsored MPs... vote for cuts to Winter Fuel Payments and welfare for disabled people?" - important question raised by @Andrea4GS in her pitch to be UNISON's next General Secretary #UNISON
Important article from @devisridhar on antibiotic-resistance: "Studies tracking their use estimate that 73% of all antimicrobials sold globally are used in animals raised for food." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

What a world. Discussing Israel's assault on Gaza is pro-Israel Michael Gove, Alastair "Iraq war lies" Campbell, and Rory Stewart, who played a key role in the occupation of Iraq youtube.com/watch?v=SBHLH3…

Michael Gove and Rory Stewart CLASH over Israel-Gaza.
We should not conflate the inevitable lapses that occur in all journalism with a call to dismantling the BBC. The fact that the BBC responded with an admission of error is indicative of its strengths. Not its fundamental corruption.

'The UN's human rights chief has condemned US military strikes on vessels allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and Pacific, saying the lethal attacks violate international law and amount to "extrajudicial killing".' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
'Opposing the misuse of Remembrance Sunday to glorify war' - a good example of a @M_Star_Online editorial that says lots of important things you'll be hard-pressed to find in any other newspaper editorial morningstaronline.co.uk/article/opposi…
"The Palestine solidarity movement in particular not only mobilises mass opposition to war, but alerts millions to the reality that British military power is deployed in aid of oppression and genocide, not democracy or human rights" morningstaronline.co.uk/article/opposi…
Important to note this presumably includes the Biden Administration. Guardian: emissions from US oil and gas operations have increased by 18% since 2020 theguardian.com/environment/20…
Correct. A journalist friend working in a major British TV news studio told us: ‘You must see the reaction in a newsroom when one mentions Chomsky or Pilger. They run the other way, and I can see they are afraid by the look on their faces. Fact is that once you understand and…
If @BBCNews wants to regain trust, it should read more Chomsky and @medialens and learn lessons. However, I have no doubt that all the journalists at the BBC roll their eyes at the very mention of Chomsky and Media Lens, which demonstrates the entire problem #bbcwato
We've always been at war with Eastasia (I know, so obvious and widespread doesn't even warrant saying anymore)
Worth noting it takes Alison Killing in the Financial Times until paragraph 54 of 57 to mention 15 people who protested the Neom City were imprisoned, and three people were executed ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-line
At 500m tall and 170 km long (yes, you've read that right) how anyone ever took Saudi Arabia's Neom city The Line seriously I'll never know. If this article was published on 1 April you'd have a hard time believing it. Insane ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-line @medialens @stillawake
