The conviction of Peter Murrell is the inevitable conclusion to the secrecy we fought in 2020. The CWG warned leadership, built the lifeboats, and tried to turn the wheel, but we were blockaded. Apologies aren't enough. We need structural reform NOW. 👇

I'd like to know what they consider "lobbying" and what breaking of norms has occurred. Because it seems pretty reasonable to charge someone who has explicitly supported and encouraged Hamas the day after Oct 7th.
"We've uncovered documents showing that the Attorney General's office was lobbied by the Israeli government".
Palestine Action's @HudaAmmori reveals how Israel is trying to clamp down on pro-Palestine activism in Britain.

Personally, I think it's good that people giving explicit support and encouragement for prescribed organisations, the day after that organisation committed a massacre, are facing charges.
I warned you that Starmer's "Labour" would be much worse than even the Tories in attacking civil liberties and repressing dissent.
They have instituted charges over a speech made 8 months before they came into power, which had not been charged under the Tories.
Starmer's commitment to the apartheid terrorist state is absolute - as he has frequently affirmed.

This is unrealistic and disregards the complexity of the conflict, particularly the legitimate concerns of Israelis. Not surprising from someone who explicitly endorsed the actions of Hamas.
I don't want a two state solution.
I want a single state of Palestine, from the river to the sea, in which everybody is equal.
And I want the apartheid terrorist state of Israel to be abolished completely.

Genuinely disgusting to me that Murray is running defence for someone who exchanged explicit messages with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl - purely because he serves a political purpose.
Scott Ritter is a friend of mine. I want to take head-on the "convicted sex offender" and "paedophile" narrative.
If he were a paedophile I would not be his friend.
There was absolutely no contact with any minor - in person or online
and
there were absolutely no images of children or other paedophile material viewed.
After blowing the whistle on the Iraqi WMD lies of the US and UK govts, and resigning as a UN Weapons Inspector and from the US Marines, Scott was the victim of an undercover sting operation against him.
On a fantasy roleplay website, a male officer played the role of a schoolgirl in online chat with Scott. That was the "offence".
Scott is adamant the website was adults only with proof of age requirement and he knew he was not conversing with an actual schoolgirl. Under the coercive US legal system, he took a plea bargain.
If those in power were subjected to the same levels of scrutiny and harassment as dissidents, far, far worse would be revealed.
Ghislaine Maxwell is still in jail for trafficking actual minors to persons whose identities the state conspires to conceal.

It's shameful that women are having their achievements tarnished by people who engage in the same identity politics they criticise. How can anyone honestly say this is about "women"?

Good to see this statement. I feel sorry that she was used as a pawn in the culture war BS. Both athletes didn't deserve the negative attention this brought up.

It's unbelievable the team sports people engage in, rather than waiting for more info to come out. You can oppose transwomen being involved in women's sports and wait to see if that is the case here - which from my understanding it isn't.
Online politics is entirely performative
‘It looked like a man punching a woman.’

Disappointing result for UBI. Additional $1000 in this US study found a 2% decrease in employment, and little long-term career benefits. Leisure time increased but at the cost of an expensive fiscal program with a negative impact on productivity.

There are major risks associated with Biden stepping down that people have discounted, but if he doesn't think he can actually win - which is imperative - then this is the right decision.

Interesting article on industrial policy
I'm a fan of industrial policy, but some China boosters are taking the to some very dubious extremes.

Trump committed electoral fraud in a bid to overthrow the US Gov. Fake electors have admitted to it + have been charged. GOP wouldnt impeach him, SCOTUS has agreed he should be immune. Conservatives backed his insurrection all the way. No one to blame but themselves.
Also...
“You’re the cause of President Trump almost being assassinated.”
According to @RepMTG, @Jo_Crawford and the media are to blame for “everything,” including division in America.

Is there any evidence of an "explosion of deaths"?
The level of team sports at play is so disorienting.

What an embarrassing grifter. She had every opportunity to speak up, and had the expectation when she was first elected. Political career marked by utter failure.

Smith may hold similar politics to Sturgeon and her clique, but it is worth accepting that this is a good step for him to make. There were major failures and Swinney's position is untenable.

A good call from @AlexNeilSNP heraldscotland.com/news/2443…
This seems like a bigger win for the centre-left. Although the NPF have done well, the gains have predominantly come from the PS and Greens within this coalition. LFI & PCF have little shift in seats. Positive step regardless.
The New Popular Front officially places first in France's legislative election.
There were many withdrawals that paved the path for this. But it's a shock, and one of the most significant left-wing performances -- internationally -- in quite a while

If the US Dems want to run another candidate, they have to accept this is a complicated discussion with a tonne of risks. A snapshot national poll isn't enough, look at the rise and fall of DeSantis. Important Q is how Biden performs in swing states, which is good/narrowing.
