Trump Admin is doubling its Argentina bailout to $40 billion. Not enough said in the UK about the unsurprising but catastrophic failure - and ideological collapse - of Milei doctrine. Because for many this model is the latest desperate measure to throw at British capitalism.

There was a story here, of ordinary people coming together to speak truth to power, as part of a just cause. There still is. And there will be until there is peace, justice and accountability, writes Jonathon Shafi ✍️ @Jonathon_Shafi

Trump is a spokesman for shifting US policy in the multipolar era. In the Middle East this is being filtered and managed via the Gulf states, who have been promoted as primary collaborators. While Israel is gradually and strategically demoted. From May: https://t.co/vYFNGltWwP

Rahab has lost her home. Her husband was killed. Two of her children were killed. Now she has almost nothing and she is raising her remaining children alone.

Returning to northern Gaza. Let each step take the Palestinians closer to freedom, and the world closer to justice.

Aid trucks going into Gaza. A welcome sight. But this should not be breaking news or a part of negotiations. They should never have stopped. Starvation and siege: the illegal weaponisation of food and medicine.

Talk of peace while the killing continues. Gaza journalists and their families are still suffering terrible losses - with no word yet if Israel is going to end its unprecedented ban on international journalists entering and freely reporting inside Gaza

Reports that the infamous “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” is dismantling. So called “aid” sites turned into killing fields. United Nations and relevant agencies must oversee the delivery of food, medicine and supplies. And with the aid - there must be justice.

Scenes of celebration in place of the horror. There is a long way to go. But there is hope, and a global solidarity and accountability movement. Above all the people of Gaza endured against the odds. They are heroes in the eyes of the peoples of the world. Palestine will prevail.

We walked with candles in Glasgow to respect those killed in Gaza - and those who endure. Their lives have been cheapened and dehumanised by political leaders and media outlets. But not by the millions who have mobilised in solidarity.

Make your own mind up as to whether these people should be charged with terror offences. As the state clamps down in absurd and draconian style - the good sense of ordinary people will prevail. https://t.co/nNbaVAog8Z

Where are all those politicians who were so eager to be photographed with Greta Thunberg? They can’t lift a finger to help their photo-op?

A major conference of the international anti-war movement in Paris today. Important milestone in its political and organisational development. “We do not have the privilege of failing.”

Kemi Badenoch smears Labour & pro-Palestinian protesters as anti-Israeli & antisemitic. Telling that she has not made one substantive criticism of Israel killing 66,000 Palestinians including 20,000 children in the past two years. #BBCLauraK

British police have had sufficient power to regulate and even limit protest since 1936, and certainly since 1986 - the raft of new powers introduced by Tory and Labour governments are about crushing the right to protest
