The work & pensions minister says the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is 'thousands of pounds a month'

If you qualify for the higher weekly rate & get the mobility part you get £184.30 per week, which works out at £798.63/month. So you don't get thousands of pounds a month

This guy is so close to understanding something.

I am disgusted by reports that the Home Office will begin rounding up and detaining asylum seekers, in preparation for deportation to Rwanda.

This is a terrifying, repulsive election stunt from a government devoid of humanity.

We will resist, together.

No mention of Julian Assange or the Palestinian journalists killed and detained by Israel...

Perfectly illustrates Chomsky's famous response to Andrew Marr:

'What I’m saying is if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.”

How does a state 'work to block' an arrest warrant when the ICC is supposed to be an independent judiciary?

It must, presumably, be by Israel and the US threatening the countries who appointed them.

If this pressure works, we'd well and truly be in a 1930s style lawless world.

A huge protest in Tel Aviv reflects growing anger over Netanyahu's failure to negotiate the release of the hostages. Australian TV reports that some Israelis are saying he's put 'revenge before diplomacy' and want an end to the war and a lasting ceasefire.

Finally watched both 'Anatomy of a Fall' & 'The Zone of Interest'. Both excellent, obviously; the latter is the best portrayal of Nazi society I think I've ever seen. Sandra Hüller is a captivating actor: so sympathetic & awkward in the one, the very picture of evil in the other.

The W Midlands and N East mayoral contests - with polling in both currently tied - illustrate the double threat to Labour's national poll lead from a combination of credible independents/third party candidates in some seats and Reform voters switching to the Tories in others.

Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel prize winner and one of the most important Jewish intellectuals in the world, adds his voice to debunk the narrative that pro-Palestinian protests on campuses is antisemitic. He calls it 'normal human empathy':

A man who has 'consistently' voted for Tory austerity, privatisation and neo-liberal de-regulation for 14 years, proves Starmer's boast that 'his' Labour is now the party of 'real conservatism'.

Blinken claims China is interfering in US elections...

US 'diplomacy' is so utterly delusional it beggars belief:

- US: 'Help us fight fentanyl and Russia, and we'll continue to contain your development and try to impoverish you'
- China: 'Wait, what's in it for us?'
- US: 'There's absolutely nothing in it for you. So, deal?'…

The back of the march is still at Piccadilly Square as Hyde Park shouts: #ArmsEmbargoNow on Israel!

A masked police officer arresting the Chair of the Philosophy department at Emory University for taking part in anti-genocide protests. This feels like a historic image.

'I think a much more likely reason that Iran attacked Israel was because Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus'.

Lord Ricketts reminds a pro-Israel advocate that bombing a diplomatic building tends to provoke a response.
