In 1955, the American sociologist Edward Shils wrote an essay in Encounter on British intellectuals. Everywhere, conservatism and apathy reigned. "Never," wrote Shils, "has an intellectual class found its society and culture so much to its satisfaction."
Centrists, if losing Corbyn and the left is so damaging to Labour's chances of stopping Farage. Why have you been celebrating Starmer's abuse of Corbyn and the left and his acting like Farage. @UKLabour
It was lively, noisy and well attended by Jews horrified by genocide and enforced starvation
HAPPENING NOW! Hundreds of British Jews are outside @FCDOGovUK protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza and the UK Government's active participation in it! #jewsagainstgenocide
Regina Spektor, welcome to the Othering and Belonging Institute.
30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Hamas NEVER rejected a ceasefire! Not only that, Hamas also offered to release all civilian hostages on October 9-10/ 2023 in exchange for Israel not entering Gaza. BUT.. Israel rejected it, because it was never about the hostages! YOU DEMONS wanted to commit GENOCIDE!
Why won’t the “Ceasefire Now” squad in Congress condemn Hamas for rejecting a ceasefire last week? Lives are at stake. If Hamas had said yes to the U.S./Egypt/Qatar offer like the Israelis did, the fighting would be stopped, hostages would be home and aid into Gaza would surge.
I don’t usually do this kind of tweet, but since I’ve been asked: James Schneider is sound. It’s depressing to see posts about him—some of them from people I like—insinuating he’s in league with Starmer/Israel/the CIA (no joke, it has been suggested). So I'd just like to say...
On the subject of Corbyn and his advisors, I would naturally trust @alexnunns for what it's worth. Based on very little more than vibes. Although I have a good sense for these things, I think.
Sound a little
Zarah Sultana has now reached the point where she bitterly hates the Labour Party so much she’d rather have Nigel Farage as PM than see Labour win the next election.
5 years, 2 general elections, and the biggest geopolitical crisis our country has faced in generations and they STILL failed. They are supporters of every anti British dictator and regime because “west bad”

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
‘That’s enough’ Trump talks over Starmer like a ftse 100 CEO dealing with an underperforming regional branch manager.
No serious British media is reporting this. It is impossible to do.
BREAKING: British media is now reporting that authorities could BAN the use of VPNs. This comes after a massive surge in VPN use after the new draconian "Online Safety Bill" has been censoring the internet. What's going on???

What appears to have happened is that Peter Kyle MP or a person or persons working on his behalf have simply substituted the word 'Jew' for 'Israeli' in an email and Sussex Police have decided this is a 'malicious communication'. This is simply shocking. #ItWasAScam
This is a shocking case.

No mention of Israeli war crimes. Casting doubt on atrocities. Denying Israel any responsibility for the mass starvation and murder of Palestinians. Once again, the Chief Rabbi is running cover for genocide.
Seeing images from Gaza over recent days, of fellow human beings enduring terrible suffering, we cannot but be moved and feel the need to respond to their pain. While Hamas’ persistent disinformation and cynical use of civilians make it difficult to distinguish truth from…
We don't have to push children into poverty. We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled. We don't have to aid and abet genocide. For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore. Join us at yourparty.uk
Regina Spektor stopped her show mid-performance to have an audience member removed for shouting "free Palestine". Another audience member calls out "you can say it, free free Palestine!" Spektor says "I thought this was different than the internet, this is real life!" as they…
This, in one of the richest countries in the world. We cannot let the rich get away with this any longer. We must take back wealth and power from landlords and build a housing system that works for the people actually living in it.
