Good, but not great, TV critic (he/him)
None were in good faith and virtually all were threatening/abusive/defamatory into the bargain but: had quite a few tweets asking if I "stand by" this review and the answer is yes, totally. Who Abdullah is doesn't significantly affect the film's content theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
🚨NEW: Former U.S. Green Beret Anthony Aguilar says he routinely witnessed Israeli forces (IDF) firing artillery tank rounds and mortar rounds into crowds of unarmed, starving Palestinians at GHF aid sites in Gaza. “I witnessed war crimes,” the GHF security contractor told the…
It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.
There's something more mind-bendingly obscene every day isn't there. Lammy became Foreign Secretary when a key UK ally was mid-genocide and his main role was to facilitate and defend that. But hey, getting a big job cured his anxiety so who's to say if it's good or bad
'Something just fell off my shoulders. There was this sense that I'm the right guy in the right job at the right time.' @DavidLammy opens up to James O'Brien about having imposter syndrome at every stage of his life, until he became Foreign Secretary.
Not even a day has passed & ‼️200,000‼️ people have signed up to build something special. From Farage to Starmer, the political establishment smears people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists. We say: not in our name. Join us: yourparty.uk

Watch this right to the end, it is astounding that any UK broadcaster would *still* now be asking its presenters to read that shit out
British surgeon @maynard_nick explains to #GMB viewers how Israeli soldiers play a game when they shoot Palestinian kids at food distribution points - one day they'll shoot the kids in the head, the next day in the chest, the following day the legs, the day after the testicles
British surgeon @maynard_nick: "Strong words is all [the UK govt] is doing... they need to take actions.. stop supplying arms to Israel, officially recognise the war crimes & the genocide that are being carried out... they need to take actions & they're failing to do so" #GMB
A lot of people in public life will be nervously checking the index come September.
I went to Target and saw a rack of new Ms Rachel gear like suspenders, skirts, shirts, etc. Between the merch, the YT show, and Netflix deal, she has every reason to not be as outspoken as she is. Yet she continues to set what should be the moral standard for everyone in showbiz.
The British press actively and deliberately inciting racist riots again
Hot on the heels of Mexico's government chocolate, the Mexican state launches Café Bienestar: instant coffee sourced from small coffee growers, mostly from Indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Veracruz, Pueblo & Guerrero. Available at the #TiendasBienestar public grocery stores.
Are political reporters going to acknowledge that Corbyn has been proved right on several key issues, and that demand for a left alternative is driven by real anger at both genocidal foreign policy and cruel domestic policy, or is it all just going to get fucking stupid again

Also in November 2023, the Israeli army forced doctors, other patients and family out of al-Nasser hospital and left 5 premature babies to suffer and die in incubators. Their decomposed bodies were found weeks later when Palestinians were able to return to the hosptial
Insinuation of this quote is that there was a point when Hazarika looked at 50,000+ innocent civilians killed, including tens of thousands of children, entire cities flattened, filmed sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners and thought, “this hasn’t gone too far yet.”
Baroness Hazarika: ".... you look at whats happening now and I think war crimes are being committed now.. its gone too far now" People like Hazarika understand its gone too far to continue to be defended without personal cost #GMB
Read this account by a British surgeon of treating a woman in Gaza shot by a quadcopter while breastfeeding her child in a tent and then try to imagine the general mentality of the person piloting the drone who hunted her down and then pulled the trigger.
I’m witnessing the deliberate starvation of Gaza’s children – why is the world letting it happen? | Nick Maynard | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
[on the 655th consecutive day of watching israel commit war crimes]: hmm, might have gone a bit too far now
AFP, AP, BBC NEWS and REUTERS have issued a rare joint statement on journalists in Gaza: “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families."
