The world looks on whilst the Israeli war criminals in the IDF bomb hospitals, kill a doctor, patients and child. It’s well beyond time to make it clear that any British citizen serving in this war criminal army will be prosecuted.
We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.

Ok I'm calling it.
The Ten-Year Plan is going to be AI-boosterism, data centre rollouts, defence-led re-industrialisation and lip service as to how they'll fund house-building by taxing the economic boom they think this will create.
Or, in other words, total nonsense.
EXCLUSIVE:
Britain needs to embrace artificial intelligence and invest in data centres because it will offer the country a "productivity revolution" and bolster the wages of ordinary workers, the Chancellor has said
In an interview with The Times John Healey, the chancellor, said that artificial intelligence "is coming whether we like it or not" and that Britain needs to take "maximum advantage" of the opportunities it offers
He said that artificial intelligence has the potential to draw investment to Britain on a "big scale" and argued that Britain needs to develop its own "sovereign" artificial intelligence to bolster economic growth and national security
Healey believes that the improvement in productivity the technology brings will filter through to everyone. On Wednesday he discussed the artificial intelligence "revolution" with Kevin Warsh, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, during a visit to the UK. Andy Burnham, the prime minister, also briefly attended the meeting.
Healey said: "He [Warsh] believes we're on the edge of a productivity revolution and transformation with AI.
"We had a good discussion because he sees this as not just potentially bringing benefits to the super-rich and big tech, but already in the US, signs that it is increasing, raising the level of productivity, therefore the value and the wages of many ordinary workers. It may be that we're starting to see some of that in some of the detail of the growth figures today in Britain."
He added: "I think the signs are it's a revolution already underway. The challenge for policy makers and I think the change for investors the challenge for investors and business is how do we make the most of this for Britain, and in doing so reassure people about the steps we can help take against the risks that they quite rightly also feel and see."
Healey said that Britain can learn from the bitter debates over the "free for all" of new data centres in the US by ensuring that they have the support of communities. In the Budget he announced a new data centre “covenant”, which will require owners to invest in local communities, create jobs and protect water supplies in exchange for priority access to the national grid.
He said: “It [artificial intelligence] is coming, whether we like it or not. Many people are already using it, I want to avoid the free-for-all on AI and data centres we’ve seen in the states.
“So where NHS health data is used with AI, I want that data in Britain, not in data centres abroad. Where AI is used for our security, I want that data in Britain, for Britain, not abroad. To do that, we have to develop more data centres. I’m ready to back them if they provide the community benefits and can help build public trust.
“If we haven’t got the independence, we haven’t got some of the control and sovereignty on our AI capacity in the UK, then we will find that we can’t provide the level of confidence, the level of security that I think people are rightly wanting, and we can’t make the most of the big economic opportunities that are there.”

Nous avons un plan pour recréer la filière textile française, notamment à partir de la culture du lin.
Nous engagerons une réorganisation d'ensemble en mettant en place une économie circulaire pour récupérer les matières premières. Chaque année, des tonnes de textiles sont jetées.
Nous nous sommes fixé des objectifs à atteindre :
• 10 % de vêtements neufs produits en France d’ici 2032
• +20 % de surface de lin cultivée en France
• 35 % de vêtements achetés en France issus soit de la fabrication française, soit de l’économie circulaire
• 70 000 tonnes de textiles réemployées en France

A week ago I had 75 followers. Today it's 2,751, and 230,000 views of posts about Andy Burnham, Renaker and £868m of public money.
In that week:-
Manchester City Council has kept my emails blocked.
Andy Burnham's GMCA called my questions vexatious.
Angela Rayner has said nothing.
Not one question answered. Thank you to everyone who shared. We aren't going anywhere.
More to come next week. Stay posted.

Yesterday at the London Assembly, I heard about the devastating environmental impact of data centres.
Some are being built in Brick Lane to speed up City of London financial transactions. Yet not one is based in the City itself.
And now this from a Labour Chancellor. Dystopian.

Leavung aside the blatant racism for a moment, what he is saying is that he is longing for an age when imperial & supremacist Great Britain ruled the waves and other nations knew their place & could be exploited at will. What's he doing in Senedd of Cymru ? That's not our culture

My extended thoughts on massive demographic change in the UK can be found here.
“Simply put, the indigenous population of this country, White Britons, made Great Britain the way it is. People of all races have contributed since 1945 (and they deserve praise and gratitude for doing so), but British culture, its institutions and way of life, are overwhelmingly a product of its indigenous White British population. For that culture to be perpetuated from generation to generation, it is important to limit the number of people from other countries who come to live in the UK. If too many arrive, instead of assimilating into our way of life (which is entirely possible and has been achieved by millions of people of all races, including my own colleagues in Reform UK), they will bring with them their own way of life.”

Have you really?
I’m 73 and I have never met a single family where three generations had never worked.
Never taught one either.
Could you put me in touch with the families?

Amazing how taking a principled stand can be "divisive", "not serious" and "electoral suicide". And then, mysteriously, the Overton Window moves. Chapeau, Zack Polanski and Benjamin Moser, this is a master class in principles, morality and politics.
One of the most prominent Jews speaking out against Zionism has been @ZackPolanski, and it was a pleasure and an honor to speak to him here.

Unable to manage fridges let alone addressing grievances of its people, French government is shifting blame for its failures onto others.
Yes, Iran is powerful. But unlike France, we do not exercise power via support for massacres in Gaza or bombings of schools and hospitals.

Labour was once the workers party. It’s now the political wing of Palantir.
Sagal Abdi-Wali has just filed her first register of interest in Parliament, revealing who funded her election campaign in the Holborn & St Pancras by-election where she defeated Zack Polanski.
And they stink.
They are from sources with strong historical ties to Labour Together. And through one of her key donors, Sagal is linked to investments in companies like Palantir and Elbit Systems and Boeing. There is something completely broken about how the reporting regime for donations works that we're only finding this out now, after the election.
The returns show that Abdi-Wali had two big donors: Daniel Luhde-Thompson and his wife Cressida Pollock who donated jointly, and Green Britain Group Ltd, the holding company of Dale Vince's Ecotricity. Both donated £50k to the campaign.
Daniel Luhde-Thompson is mega-wealthy. He is one of the co-founders of the quant-trading hedge fund Quadrature Capital. Quadrature, whose holding company is registered in the Caymans, donated £4m to the Labour Party during the 2024 General Election.
It was the single largest donation Labour had ever received. But nobody knew this fact during the election itself, as the donation was only declared after the election as it was made in a specific week-long window that was exempt from immediate reporting.
As I revealed in OpenDemocracy in October 2024, Quadrature had held shares in companies connected to the genocide in Gaza in late 2023 and early 2024. It held an average of $121m in shares in companies linked to the genocide in Gaza between December 2023 and July 2024. This included shareholdings in arms companies like the lead contractor on the F-35, Lockheed Martin.
I've just checked Quadrature's most recent SEC filings submitted at the end of June 2026. They show that Quadrature still has investments in arms companies like Boeing and Lockheed. The June fillings show it held $9m in Elbit shares and an astonishing $117m in Palantir.
What is it with the Labour Party and connections to Palantir?
Luhde-Thompson also donated to Labour Together. He donated £50k at the end of November 2023: smack-bang in the middle of the period when Labour Together hired APCO to investigate journalists (including me and my family) who had exposed Morgan McSweeney's failure to report donations in violation of the law between 2018 and 2020 (of course there is no indication Luhde-Thompson knew about this).
Dale Vince, Sagal's other donor, was also a big donor to Labour Together. He has, most recently, strongly supported approving drilling at Jackdaw and Rosebank oilfields.
We found out about Dale Vince donating to Sagal during the campaign because it was leaked to the Independent. But voters in Holborn & St Pancras had no idea that she was also being funded by Daniel Luhde-Thompson, linking her to Quadrature and, through that, investments in companies complicit in genocide.
There is really something deeply wrong here. Voters were deprived of key information before they cast their vote. Our electoral laws around donations, which allow the mega-rich to dominate our politics, have to be reformed.

Le système néolibéral a dominé l'Europe pendant une quarantaine d'années.
En France, il a désorganisé la société française telle qu'elle avait été construite à partir de la Libération et des acquis collectifs.
Aujourd'hui, le néolibéralisme n'est plus capable de tenir ses promesses.
Ses défenseurs n'ont que deux choses à proposer : continuer à faire des économies et détruire ce qu'il nous reste.

I think she's talking about the Royal Family..
I've met families where 3 generations have never worked… and a young man trying to break that cycle, only to find his family told him to stop working because his alarm clock was waking them up.
People are making a mockery of our welfare system. Bragging about their free Motability cars, flaunting their new keys on TikTok.
They think it's a victimless crime. It isn't.
18 million working households will each pay £50,000 in taxes for working-age welfare this Parliament.
Every pound claimed by someone exploiting the system comes from somebody else.
Someone who gets up, goes to work and pays their taxes and most likely will never afford a brand-new car.
This wasn’t the aim of our post-war welfare state.
It’s the sign of a deeply broken one.

Labour thinks buying up the establishment is the way to do politics.
But the public can smell the rot a mile off and won't stand for it any longer.

You know, there is something I genuinely do not understand about the collapse of British justice under Andy Burnham.
Today, another 650 criminals are being released early onto the streets. This is the third wave of Labour’s emergency scheme.
Downing Street wants the public to believe this is a minor administrative fix for low-level offenses. But look at the actual cohort walking out the gates.
The list includes convictions for grievous bodily harm, weapon offenses, and burglary. One career offender with 360 past convictions literally walked out of HMP Brixton today and happily told a national television crew he was going straight back to stealing.
The terrifying thing about modern Britain is how lopsided state capacity has become.
You live under a government that can engineer highly complex digital tax raids, track the minute details of local business compliance, and aggressively police thousands of online non-crime hate incidents. The bureaucratic machinery of the state is vast, highly funded, and omnipresent.
Yet when it comes to the most primitive, fundamental duty of any sovereign nation to physically keep violent repeat offenders away from the public, the state just throws its hands up, hands the freed convicts a tent, and opens the front gates.
Labour promised a return to serious adult governance. Instead, they are running a system that micromanages the law-abiding majority while treating the incarceration of violent criminals as an optional luxury the Treasury can no longer afford.
So, in my opinion, when a country quietly accepts that it simply lacks the capacity to enforce its own prison sentences, the social contract has already broken.

It's important this performative video is met with the scorn that it deserves.
Silence would be unacceptable.
But it's actually worse to have Labour making sad videos whilst continuing to arm a genocide and arrest those who protest. It should be beneath contempt.
