If you're any good at all, you know you can be better...
25 nations just called on Israel to abandon the hostages. That’s what an “unconditional” ceasefire means.
Costs of U.K. welfare state likely to rise 26% in the next 5 years. The economy not likely to grown by more than 8% tops. So... reform or crisis..
Seen the latest 'massacre at aid site' headlines? They are the result of a vicious and deliberate demonisation of Israel pantomime in Gaza directed by Hamas - that is happening every day. Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
This week's @thetimes column is about NHS Fife, which surely tolled the bell for the diversity officer, a job made for these times thetimes.com/comment/column…
It gets better every time you watch it! 🤩 The save that kept Germany's Euro 2025 dream alive 👏 #WEuro2025 #WomensEuros
This is the first time I've watched France this tournament. Within five minutes I was reminded of why I didn't want them to do well in previous tournaments. They don't come across as a *team*. Delighted for Berger. What an inspiration. #FRAGER
A thought on one part of NHS Fife's statement. I've been a well-paid public servant, into the top 10% of earners, and still well below the top level. More £s for managing things = more accountability. That's the deal. It's not compulsory to take these jobs x.com/LucyHunterB/st…
I would predict the chance of anyone in public office taking proper responsibility for the failure to find a murderer’s criminal record, in terms of giving a real apology or bearing any sanction, is inversely proportionate to where they are on the earnings scale below.
Just listen closely, George Yeo,former foreign minister of Singapore, demonstrates a far deeper grasp of European history and its conflicts than most Western politicians ever have. It's rare to find a current high-ranking official who can speak with such depth, clarity and…

Have always loved this painting.
'The Angelus,' by Jean-François Millet, completed between 1857 and 1859, will be the star exhibit in Millet: Life on the Land at the National Gallery, London, from 7 August to 19 October.
This is what NHS antisemitism looks like.

I’ve been banging this drum for over a year, for no other reason than the fact I listen to my Jewish friends. If you’re British, you probably don’t have Jewish friends. Odds are strongly against it - they are a tiny minority in the UK. That’s why I’ve tried to amplify their…
Tragically today, the latest Gaza ceasefire amendment - generously crafted by Qatar, of all people, and accepted by Israel - was rejected by Hamas. This war could have ended by day 21. Now we’re in month 21 - because Hamas selfishly held on to two things: power and hostages.…
Nations have spent too long giving voters too much of what they want.. and not enough of what they need. The tide has turned... Invest accordingly. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
ok I'm reading UK climate adaptation papers and I feel like I've gone insane "There is evidence... air conditioning offers protection against the heat... However, there are disadvantages to promoting this... There may be equity issues in availability of air conditioning"
Does Jeremy Corbyn think everyone just forgot that he's a Serbia war crimes denier?
30 years ago, over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered in the Srebrenica genocide. Today, politicians will say "never again". But they are letting it happen, again, in Gaza. We remember all victims of genocide, and vow to build a world that respects the humanity of all.
My friend Christopher Hitchens wrote acutely of the 7/7 terrorist attacks, and I’ve always shared his view. There is no way to propitiate theocratic fanaticism; the only effective, let alone reputable, response is to confront, thwart & defeat it.
If you don’t understand how vile and sad this is, ignore for a moment the “dismantle America” bit and notice what she does to Palestinians. How she thrills to October 7 because “Palestine is the tip of the spear” for her own shtick. Because if Israelis can be scared, then all…
“I hope you seek to dismantle the United States” This woman, Melanie Yazzie, is a professor at the University of Minnesota The radicalization tumor is metastasizing
The BBC’s favourite UN official said what??
🚨 UN OFFICIAL CALLS FOR ISRAEL TO BE “DISMANTLED”‼️ UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese: There’s no “good Israel” vs. “bad Israel.” She says it “cannot be fixed” and “must be dismantled.” Let’s call this what it is: the language of genocide. The mask is off.
To be fair, ‘furious and bewildered’ is Jeremy’s default.
