Nick Robinson received a £70k pay rise last year. That's an increase of 20% taking pay up to £349k. It's clear the resident doctor on #R4Today could do Nick's job. Could Nick save a life?

ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was told to drop arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.  Or he and the ICC would be destroyed.  Middle East Eye's bombshell investigation: middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-l…

This is absolutely absurd and surely an incorrect application of the law? If not the law is seriously opaque, and open to abuse. To conflate support for a particular cause with support for a proscribed group is a very dangerous path indeed, if we are to remain a free society.

Goldsmiths University of London is going to introduce 'mandatory antisemitism training for all staff'. I look forward to that, though 8 Jewish members of staff have asked to meet management over this, and we've been rebuffed. gold.ac.uk/media/docs/pub…

We could nationalise water for £20 – here’s how youtu.be/tnqPZNNx_rY?si… English water companies are financially broken. So why is Labour ruling out nationalisation? They say it would cost too much. That's wrong. It could cost less than a round of drinks.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested, bundled into a van and taken to the cells during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece

Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

Keeping water in private ownership is the worst possible outcome for all of us. Bad economics, bad for people and Nature. But UK Prime Minister and The Labour Party just won't listen. Vote them out whenever you can.
