Now out in paperback, with this endorsement by Robert Pippin: ‘a tour-de-force and astonishingly wide-ranging exploration of the idea of art as a form of philosophical thought. It is also as compelling a defense of that idea as any written’.

To meet their assigned quota for detentions, Trump’s immigration agents are picking up people who are in the United States legally and throwing them in detention, hoping their despair and isolation will facilitate their deportation. trib.al/Rlzsuic
BREAKING: Israel has boarded the Handala Freedom Flotilla in international waters. 21 unarmed civilians — including two French parliamentarians — are under attack. This is a kidnapping. This is a crime under international law.
Whenever you think Starmer can’t sink and lower, he manages it. Lower than vermin, in Nye Bevan’s words.
"Jeremy Corbyn couldn't win with the Labour machine behind him" Wait, you think the Labour machine was behind him?
🚨BREAKING | Kidnapped at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation @GHFUpdates death trap, 17-year-old Omar Nizar Asfour was released today from Israeli prisons, along with nine other Palestinian children who had been abducted at the same site in the Al-Shakhoush area, north of Rafah. All…
This is a stunt by Zionists and génocidaires trying to save face Just this month, Creasy voted to proscribe Palestine Action—the non-violent direct action group trying to stop the genocide in Gaza—as a terrorist organisation Her party has supported the genocide from the start
With the leadership of Sarah Champion, 222 MPs from across parliament have joined the call to recognise the state of Palestine now. I am one of them- here’s my interview with Channel 4 News on why.
As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications This should also be banned Influence being bought in Govt Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy
The children of Gaza are starving. Not because the world couldn’t help, but because the world refused to help.
Keir Starmer is appointing a former Sun editor to a top government comms role, while watering down the Hillsborough Law. Bootlicking the Murdoch press, betraying the people of Liverpool and insulting every campaigner for justice. Justice For The 97.
Our movement is growing, and growing, and growing. We said that real change was coming — and we meant it. Be part of history at yourparty.uk
Every word a weasel word, every pledge a lie. The most dishonest frontline British politician in modern memory bar none. Boris Johnson was an honest liar by comparison, he only lied about matters of self-interest. ‘Keir Starmer’ the politician is a confection, a confidence trick.
Keir Starmer promised people in Liverpool he wouldn't speak to The Sun. He now not only writes articles in The Sun but has just appointed a former Sun Editor to a senior Government communications role.
This time around we know all the moves. The question is whether we know the counter-moves!
400,000 people signing up to support a new left-wing party in just 48 hours is genuinely astonishing. Rather than its usual sneering, the British media should try and understand that this represents something big they should try to understand. They won't, though!

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Cap donations NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/take… via @38degrees
It’s not the BMA “undermining the trade union movement”. It’s a Labour Prime Minister, writing in the Murdoch press, urging junior doctors to break with their union leadership. That’s a direct attack on trade unionism. Solidarity with @TheBMA and junior doctors on strike.
Keir Starmer: Resident doctors should break ranks with the BMA leadership. The industrial action that starts on Friday is in no one’s interests and medics should not follow their union down its dangerous and destructive route, he says. thetimes.com/article/3fdcd5…
I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
Breaking: An Israeli airstrike just killed Adam Yahya Abu Harbid, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel, along with all members of his family, after targeting their tent in Al-Yarmouk market in Gaza City.
