Peter Ettedgui who was at Dulwich college with Nigel Farage, "My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me and knowing that I am Jewish saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas them' which was frequently followed by a hissing sound of escaping gas" "As the grandchild of a couple who escaped from Hitler and Nazi Germany, whose families left behind perished in the holocaust" "This was extremely wounding and upsetting" #Newsnight play the clip of Farage denying the accusation asking, "How do you feel about that?" Peter Ettedgui, "Really angry"

Two strikes yesterday - one in Al-Kuma by SAF killing at least 16 civilians and one on a shelter in Al Fashir by the RSF, killing at least 53 civilians. The people of N. Darfur are experiencing a special kind of hell.
At least 16 civilians were killed in a Sudanese army drone strike on Saturday in the town of Al-Kuma, east of El Fasher in North Darfur, local community leaders said. sudantribune.com/article/305…

This is madness and I'll keep saying it because it should be impossible but for the power of proper investment in youth football. There are fewer than 15,000 males aged under 40 in this country. Stunning @FaeroskFodbold

A masterclass in clear and concise messaging. He managed to incorporate several key messages, address pain points and answer the question in a coherent and measured way. This man presents himself with confident authority - a leader. It's been a while since we've seen this.
Zack Polanski, "I hear your anger. And I think you're right to be angry. I think we should all be angry when we've had 14 years of Conservative austerity that shut our libraries, shut our community centres, and then to say integration is a problem?" "How do you expect people to integrate when you've taken away their services?" "We need to make sure that all politicians are speaking about migration in a positive sense" "Of course there will be people who have problems with migration. But their problems are, they can't get a dentist appointment; they're not enough council homes; because we've not invested in our communities" "But none of these are problems of a black face" "These are the problems of multimillionaires and billionaires, and politicians who haven't taxed them properly" "We can change that" "They're all political choices. Let's make different political choices"

"You hadn’t been married before, right? Cause I give advice to plenty of founders who want to build billion-dollar companies. And the reason I do that is because I build billion-dollar companies." – Alexis Ohanian just checked Stephen A. Smith
Stephen A. Smith on Serena Williams' cameo during the Super Bowl halftime show: "If I'm married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his ass. 'Cause clearly you don't belong with me. What you worried about him for and you're with me? Bye. Bye."

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Wish people like the former defense minister and others who sat in power for years had found their conscience and their courage before becoming “former.” The blood and ruin they left behind is beyond measure. He can keep his nostalgia tears.
Truly searing report by @NYTimesCohen on where 🇮🇱 & 🇵🇸 stand 2 years on. “Israel at war with itself” is the title. 2 Octobers ago I told BBC that Israel was diving headlong into “the terrorism trap.” It didn’t have to. Netanyahu strode right into the door Hamas opened. 1/

Here's the biggest thing I've ever written, a story spanning almost fifty years. It's about California in the 1970s, old highways, and one of those "crimes of the century" you used to hear about. I worked on it a long time and I think it's pretty good. vox.com/the-highlight/225707…
