Ed Sheeran failed to realise world is now alert to the genocide in Gaza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ED Sheeran is a man out of time. Three years ago, when the status quo was hanging by a fingernail, Macklemore’s forced exit from Sheeran’s North America tour would have passed the way it often did when Israel was publicly challenged: condemnation, an opportunity for Israel’s paid defenders to frame any mention of occupation as intolerance, followed by a few days of handwringing at the BBC over another “antisemitism row”. But not this time. Decades of carefully framing Israel as a poor victim, be
Reform UK appear to condone violence against âenemiesâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WHATEVER enduring image Reform UK had hoped to leave in the wake of their recent party conference in Birmingham, I doubt it looks much like the one they got. Despite party speakers doing their greatest hits, railing against immigrants and the trans community from the podium, it was the partyâs latest financial scandal that ultimately hung across the conference in Birminghamâs NEC, until the moment that a swarm of dead-eyed pensioners surrounded a protester who dared to mention Nigel Farageâ
Why is Andy Burnham playing silly games with our collective future? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A WISE person on Twitter once said that the catastrophic effects of climate change would be something we watched on our phone screens, getting closer and closer, until the day came that it arrived on our doorstep. Obviously it wouldn’t be right to say that the effects of climate change are only now reaching our shores. But after another summer of record-breaking heat in the UK, the effects of climate change are certainly arriving with greater intensity as the years pass. After a devastating wild
Steph Paton: Adopting flawed Labour conversion âtherapyâ bill isn't good enough (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A KEY tenet of successive SNP-led governments has, since 2014, been the promise to mitigate, where it can, the worst of Westminster. We may have voted to remain in this crumbling Union but the SNP at least had an interest in showing that, where the UK Government was happy to capitulate to far-right forces, Scotland could choose a different way. What better to build the case for an independent and autonomous Scotland than by showing that we need not be locked into Westminsterâs current death sp
Andy Burnhamâs 'sorry' on Labour support for Israel isnât a real apology at all (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LABOUR have long owed an apology to the public for defending Israelâs campaign of murder and terror against the Palestinian people since 2023. And despite widespread reporting to the contrary, Iâm not convinced weâve had one yet. Prime minister-to-be Andy Burnham made a statement last week that was described in some circles as apologising for Labourâs support for Israel throughout its brutal killing of more than 70,000 Palestinians (that we know of). And I can see why, as it does have th
