Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...π§΅

Remember guys, you canβt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatβs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
This is the book I mentioned on @therestpolitics.bsky.social which definitely merits an English translation not least for US audience. Puts the argument that Germany distancing itself from USA is more an opportunity than a threat- fascinating on so many levels
Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
The UK Climate Change Committeeβs latest analysis suggests the opposite.
The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.
We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.
Wow!
Bold Talk indeed.
Absolutely shocking to hear the religious discrimination as late as the 1960s.

βan immaculate illustration of British class signalling delivered with restraint, punctuation and a very clear sense of who belongs whereβ.
On #InternationalWomensDay, I am reminded of the privilege it is to serve as North Herefordshire's first female MP, and to be in a Parliament with the most women ever elected.
But work doesn't stop here - from achieving pay equality to tackling VAWG, there's so much to keep fighting for.
Today I'll be out campaigning with @camdengp. All to go for across London!

βone of Chilcotβs points: that βthe UKβs relationship with the US has proved strong enough over time to bear the weight of honest disagreement. It does not require unconditional support where our interests or judgments differ.β
Not just ICE
βHow can any government build that kind of space to make some of the more fundamental changes in terms of things like capacity, to make the NHS work in a way that people expect it to?β
So many good statistics. Cut through the ****.
The focus on International Law? He is the British PM and particularly well versed in the law.
Imperial nostalgia for who? Most of us were living in poverty and filth.
And in case anyone hadnβt noticed American imperialism declined in the last century whilst Chinese colonialism expands unnoticed.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britainβs foreign policy to Donald Trump.
Useful dissection of the Reform manifesto for the Senedd from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social.
Which rightly points out "βIllegal asylum seekerβ is a nonsense phrase".
And highlights the rampant #climatechange denial at the launch

This is one result of the 7-year-long, Β£10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

Does it bother anyone that Tony Blair thinks we should have supported the American attack from day one?
The attack we (and others) were apparently not made aware of.
