this is so pathetic lol. entire government & party completely unable to take responsibility for or defend their own decisions, trying to pass it off as if it was done by the courts, the security services, expert advisers, as if we're all completely stupid
Incredible scenes as @novaramedia’s Michael Walker questions @YvetteCooperMP over her decision to proscribe direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.
To date, her policy has led to nearly 4,000 arrests of peaceful protesters under the UK Terrorism Act.

Yeah but he's a white senior manager so nobody is going to make this into a political scandal, no thoughtful pieces about what this says about the state of UK academia

On the 'moral stupidity displayed in the face of the Gaza genocide.'
'These people act morally stupidly not because they know nothing, but because they know too much – and because what they know, if inhabited fully, would cost them their world.'

This paper (which Lawrence kindly shared with me) is a radical vision: stop investors profiting from life’s basics, regain public control.
But it just isn’t Manchesterism. Our skyline is literally investors aggressively financialising housing!
The Burnham muddle in a nutshell.

Today we have first sight of The Productive State - the essay that sets out how Burnham could reverse privatisation of utilities.

Apologists for Starmer are notably avoiding the fact he ran for Labour leadership on a relatively left-wing platform he clearly had no intention of implementing. A very cynical move which has damaged already low levels of public faith in politics even further.
