    I spoke to a senior figure within Iran’s state media for @NewLeftReview about his experience of the bombing of Tehran; the dynamics of the war; the economy; Western news coverage; and the appointment of the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic

    My @gdnlongread on the UK’s vital military role in Saudi Arabia's doomed and destructive air and land wars in Yemen. And how the government is lying about it.

    I'm old enough to remember the last time a pro-public investment option was on the ballot paper, James called them "the party of Holocaust denial".
    As Snow and ice spark travel chaos in the UK, James O'Brien wonders how much 12 years of 'austerity' and 'incompetent' government has denuded the infrastructure needed to cope with a predictable, ordinary crisis. @mrjamesob

    Israel apologizing for the Nazis to vilify Muslims is quite a step
    Netanyahu says Hitler didn't want to kill the Jews. A Muslim told him to do it. He's not just racist. He's insane.

    This article has no content. Two people who studied it and said it was true are wrong because one is mad and the other was insecure about his religion.

    Historically speaking this is bollocks. Horseshoe is just a salve for centrists to feel better about their politics.

    I’m old enough to remember @EmilyThornberry, week in week out, holding the government’s feet to the fire on violations of international law in Yemen. These people are not serious, they stand for nothing except for themselves.
    Labour's Emily Thornberry refuses to state whether cutting off food and electricity to Gaza is breaking international law

    My essay for ⁦@prospect_uk⁩ on the Scottish factory that supplies the missiles used by Saudi against civilians in Yemen. How the deregulation of UK arms exports created a moral contagion flowing from Whitehall to the factory floor.

    Reverse engineering statements in the Tory leadership race just shows how radicalized its boomer members have got from social media…. The British civil service is teeming with woke anti semites.
    Liz Truss said today that she will "change woke civil service culture that strays into antisemitism". A Truss campaign source also accused Labour under Keir Starmer of being "a talking shop for antisemitism and antizionism." No evidence provided for either of these charges.

    It’s a sight to see isn’t it? Toys out the pram and looking for anything to discredit the protests because they don’t like that people don’t support the Israeli bombing campaigns.
