Benjamin Netanyahu and his crew are fighting the most racist election in Israeli history. His opponent Gadi Eizenkot will normalise an illegal occupation, while his military record is chilling. I write for Zeteo:

If you're a chief executive on a telephone number salary, at least have the grace not to complain about the taxes that fund the benefits your workers have to claim because you refuse to pay them enough to live on

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts.
This is a sign of a democracy in decline.

Reform's Gawain Towler is thin-skinned, bad tempered & insulting as he tries to deflect from the numerous Reform scandals of racism, sexism, advocating violence & dodgy monies. Never mind 'vetting' candidates Reform need to get rid of some of Farage's old pals. #PoliticsLive

Absolutely marvellous to wake up this morning to this fantastic and unexpected news
I think I can just hear the Amazon Rainforest breathing a small sigh of relief too

I’ve just come off a Unison picket line for striking Camden traffic wardens. They were privatised by Camden Council years ago. I was on their picket lines in 2012. They work 42.5 hours a week on low pay. They are striking for an extra £2 an hour and to have their leave entitlement the same as the council workers, which means an extra 7 days. The company is NSL, whose top manager is on £619,000 - £330 an hour. Some wonderful supporter brought a solidarity chocolate cake to the picket line. The traffic warden service should be brought back in house. Solidarity. @unisontheunion

What a relief! Lula’s unexpected victory gives hope for the Amazon. He has dramatically cut felling, while Bolsonaro’s plans would doubtless have taken it past its tipping point, ensuring total eventual destruction with huge global consequences.

Industrial food systems consume at least 15% of global fossil fuels.
Yet instead of moving away from oil and gas, the UK government continues to subsidise polluting industries.
This must end. Take action with @waronwant: secure.waronwant.org/page/20…
