The new evidence is grim: Brexit has made Britain is smaller, poorer and less productive.
No wonder Reeves found a black hole in the budget. It’s been carved out by a decade of lost growth of 6-8% - a hit of £180-£240bn - that’s far worse than was predicted.

‘We just want to stop people being murdered’: Kneecap on Palestine, protest and provocation
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
A group of Israeli soldiers held a birthday party in a Palestinian home in the town of Jaba, in the occupied West Bank, after raiding and forcibly evicting the residents.
So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?
By forcibly confining the Palestinians of Gaza within impassable bounds, while at the same time slaughtering and starving them within this confined space, the State of Israel has made a mockery of the slogan, “Never Again.”
This war is the dark stain of our era, the final nail in the coffin of the liberal international order, and a testing ground for our collective abandonment of the utopia of a different world. This is the blind spot that, since left unaddressed, has consumed everything else

Israeli strikes on Gaza schools used as civilian shelters part of deliberate strategy, say sources
Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.
50,000 children in Gaza have been killed or severely wounded. Thats one in 20 children
Starvation now.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says
Man. I just got an email saying that Gaza is biggest spiritual crisis for Jews since the Holocaust and like ... the problem in Gaza isn't a Jewish spiritual crisis you guys, it's a fucking colonial genocide.
Is the war in Gaza different now or are you just recognizing it for what it's been all along?

More than 300 writers from the UK and Ireland have signed a letter calling for immediate aid and a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?”
The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes @jehadabusalim.bsky.social for Zeteo, but a child surrounded by flames and other similar images in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire.
