In the not-so-distant future, Israel will have to reckon with its war crimes in Gaza | Opinion | Noa Sattath haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…

He's probably happy about this; now he's got his cancellation origin story and can go on all the podcasts whining about woke tyranny

Long read and podcast on why it is reasonable to describe the Israeli campaign in Gaza as genocidal, the threat to Europe and the urgent need for international action open.substack.com/pub/nickcohen/…

Listening to an A&E consultant Kate Searle in the Peggie v NHS Fife claim she knows she's female because "she was assigned female at birth" and then say "she's not an expert in it". Absolutely excruciating symptom of how gender ideology rots medical & scientific knowledge.

Today’s shocking bill, which tried to overturn an important anticorruption reform, had the stench of something done in a panic. I understand the immediate trigger may have been activation of investigations into the dealings of presidential-office insiders. economist.com/europe/2025/07…

Absolute shame to @ZelenskyyUa and his cronies who are now openly ruining the agency of anti-corruption institutions in wartime. This is not going to happen.

There’s an old movement in town: Posh Twats for Srebrenica genocide denial. These are the plummy grifters whose entire personality is contrarianism.

I get that “reform capital gains tax now” isn’t a great slogan, but in the end, evidence matters. We’re not getting a wealth tax under this, or any conceivable, government. For good reasons. The Left should focus on effective and achievable tax policy: pro equity and pro growth

Ian Wright’s reaction to Michelle Agyemang's late equaliser is all you need to see ❤️

End of an historic day here in Kyiv. Zelensky's status as an uncontested wartime leader is no more, whatever happens in the coming days. Huge uncertainty ahead.

Unsurprisingly, Marjorie Taylor Greene is lying. This protest had absolutely nothing to do with Zelensky "refusing to make a peace deal" or "ending the war". I know, because I was actually there.

Devastating takedown of the Yale Philosophy Department's self-beclowning over gender ideology. They appear absolutely befuddled with it. (Can't quite believe Tim WIlliamson signed the Amici Curiae - he must have read it very quickly) philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…

I cannot believe journalists are still doing this. It serves *nobody* - it just misleads and befuddles. x.com/soniasodha/sta…

A renowned Tel Aviv fashion store, aptly named, has put up this windowfront statement: “You can say no. Thou shalt not abandon Thou shalt not murder Thou shalt not cause starvation. We are not silent We are not losing our humanity.” Increasingly, this is Tel Aviv’s voice.

Our trade has a real problem when we write stupid and misleading headlines like this. Treating readers as fools is a precursor to having fewer readers.
