Experienced ‘The Zone of Interest’ in the cinema last night. A stark and gruesome film crafted with precision. Horrific and painfully apposite considering the ethnic cleaning that is being carried out in Gaza today. It is essential viewing and listening.

This whole Wes Streeting thing seems a bit like Labour are looking at Zack Polanski and thinking they quickly need a charismatic young gay leader, but could only find Wes Streeting

Film-maker Paul @holbrook99's latest film will have a lead who's a teenage lad, and he is passionate about giving local undiscovered talent a go. If you know a teen lad in South Bristol who would love to have a crack at this opportunity, let them know. https://t.co/uaVxrTFLcq

Former players travelled from far and wide to be at Twerton Park today for the Marvin Brown Celebration Match & Fundraiser… the family and the organisers can’t thank them enough as well as everyone who came along to support it 👏🏻🫡 https://t.co/jhALOf3APU

There has been a lot of talk about BBC bias today. Its a good moment to remember the BBC Gaza Report @cfmmuk by the Centre for Media Monitoring, just to remind ourselves of the scandalous bias against Palestine @BBCNews in the face of the Gaza Genocide

Palestinians in Gaza say Israel has dropped a new kind of bomb, describing it as a “mini nuke.” Military analysts believe it was likely a thermobaric, or “vacuum,” weapon, a high-intensity explosive that uses oxygen from the air to create a massive fireball and shockwave.

The British Indian Army was the largest volunteer army in history during the WW2, with over 2.5 million men in its ranks. The war effort incl my family. It may have included Zarah Sultana’s. She was born in Birmingham; she’s British. She has every right to wear a poppy. As do I.

One in every five Palestinians that Israeli forces killed so far in 2025 across the occupied West Bank was a child, reports the UN. https://t.co/iWAwbRG26B

In this interview with @OliDugmore, Steve Reed admits to not having seen much of the Greens housing policies. A notable admission considering recent polls put the Greens in second place (behind Reform) and over taking Labour. They’re the government’s main left-wing opposition.

Heartiest congratulations and Mazel Tov to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. We are proud to endorse you and look forward to your leadership, vision, and collaboration for the betterment of our community and all New Yorkers @ZohranKMamdani

PR firm 'planted story' about Iran funding Palestine Action in media, report says

He is not a random madman. He is the Minister of National Security of a UN member-state. And yet the West continues to insist that said state is democratic and an ally. Which, of course, reflects the West's collapsing basic ethical standards.

Faiza Shaheen has a PhD, was a visiting professor at the LSE, has published a book, headed up a think tank and is now the executive director of another one. But for #bbcqt she’s still an ‘activist’. See how it works?

“These holes tell a harsh story for our Palestinian people.” Journalist Muath Alimoore shared footage of burrows that were dug by Palestinian aid-seekers seeking shelter from Israeli fire while waiting for aid trucks to enter Gaza during Israel’s blockade

Israeli strikes across Gaza over the past 12 hours have killed at least 100 Palestinians, including 35 children, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence More here ⤵️ https://t.co/iuIPJljSVU

Israel is bombing tents again with F35 jets. They commit genocide with impunity. There was no ceasefire, they broke it every single day. They must be held to account. Speak up. Take action. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

People have short memories. The same conservatives in the Tory party and Reform, who now want to make the safety of women and children their headline political issue, were the ones who cheered on when the axe of austerity fell. Speak to any reputable womens group, and they will

Video footage captures the moment an Israeli settler accompanied by three Israeli soldiers take turns beating and slapping 65-year-old Palestinian olive-harvester Ahmad Shakarneh while he and his family were harvesting olives on their land in the town of Nahalin

Details of the assessment that led West Midlands police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a football match in Birmingham next month have been leaked to the Guardian. They unequivocally show that police feared the Israeli club's fans would be the ones to instigate

What Stan says

Today's devastated Gaza: One way to commit genocide is by "deliberately inflicting" on a group "conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."
