Well, that’s decided then. Let’s not bother getting third parties on the ground to assess the situation or pore through documentation to prove intent. I don’t know why we don’t get more retired judges to give their opinions from afar and skip due legal process entirely.
Powerful words from Lord Sumption on what’s happening in Gaza. He accuses Israel of committing war crimes. Full interview available on the free @TimesRadio catch up service for 7 days. Around 35 mins into my Sunday show
Negotiations have stopped as Hamas are refusing to negotiate. And why would they when they have stupid fuckers putting zero pressure on them and promising a state regardless. This statement will get more people killed on both sides and Starmer is too dumb to realise it.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Hamas continually refusing to agree to ceasefire & continually attacking is a strange way of demonstrating a commitment to a permanent peace. Role of those who insist Israel is the only belligerent in this war in affirming Hamas’ refusal to agree peace is under explored
Hamas want a permanent ceasefire, to be able to transition to new Gaza leadership on their own terms. Israel want to be able to go back to destroying Hamas after getting the hostages back. The same impasse as ever, so the killing and starvation goes on because the Americans…
Anything’s possible. I imagine some people preferred The Seahorses to The Stone Roses.
NEW: Jeremy Corbyn officially confirms new party with Zarah Sultana. Pollsters predict a well-organised left-wing party could take 10% off Labour’s vote.
Not often I'm stunned into silence, but this has floored me...
“What if the Jews did something to the Germans”, “Hitler was trying to save the world”, “How do we take [the Jews] down?”, “Genocide.” This isn’t 1940s Germany — it’s a 2025 podcast. Suzette, a recent culinary high school grad from south Florida goes full Nazi and Pompano-based…
On @BBCPolitics #PoliticsLive yesterday, all focus on Labour Gov pressurising Israel to sign a ceasefire agreement, as though Hamas want peace & Israel = problem. I pointed out this distorts reality & ignores that Hamas are brutal war-mongering enemies of ordinary Palestinians
Labour. “If you are 15 you must not be on social media for more than 2 hours” Also Labour. If you are 16 you can choose the Government! mol.im/a/14932057
Interesting how the two key underlying issues of our time - stagnant wages and crazy house prices - come up time and time again. But how to fix them? #politicslive
Then stop showing it. It’s none of our business.
Over the weekend the internet came together to blast the couple caught cheating on a Coldplay crowd cam. But now that the dust has settled, @KatRosenfield asks: What does such gleeful global shaming say about us? “It’s simply this: When we take joy in the distress and ruination…
I was starting to worry that the government was not addressing the real problems in the country, so I’m relieved to hear that today they’ve decided to regulate football and dredge up a fracas from 40 years ago.
A national inquiry will be held into one of the most violent days of the year-long miners' strike in the 1980s. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said it will look into the clashes that involved police and miners outside the Orgreave coking plant in Rotherham in 1984…
State of our political discourse. @Dannythefink’s face says it all. #PoliticsLive
It’s not ‘completely broken’. Can we stop with this ridiculous catastrophing? You got water from the tap this morning yes? He just banged on about kids worrying too much! #politicslive
‘Never been harder to be a young person’ And they make all that fuss about world wars or the great depression. #politicslive
Need a bit of cheering up of a Monday morning? Look no further. This is magnificent. Thank you @AndrewGold_ok
It's my episode - the whole thing is #accidentalpartridge - and brilliant. Jeremy was great: youtube.com/watch?v=mA0Riq…

Given that bagpipes originated in the Middle East and what we call tartan in China, it’s good he’s showing his grasp of cultural history how connected we all are.
This is one based dude. More of this. Give them a taste of their own medicine, see how they like it.
The farce instigated by @NHSFife has done the country a huge favour by establishing beyond doubt that the best way to demolish trans ideology is to try to explain and defend it in public.
A French man took down an anti-Israel idiot with a keffiyeh who was trying to disrupt cyclists during a race. Magnificent. That’s how you deal with overgrown children. 👌🏼
