It wasn't political convenience though, it was a very specific political project -removing even the softest parts of the left from political life and integrating large parts of the British state into the wider Epstein network (Palantir etc.)- that they pursued with absolutely fanatical intensity.
“Venezuela presented a convergence of strategic threats from all three major US adversaries [over critical supply chains], … with each adversary establishing operational presence that created compounding strategic vulnerabilities.” renegaderesources.pro/p/the-venezu...
The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)

Not the priority here, but the consequences of AI slop for the xenophobic right are quite profound. Reactionaries now have a new modem for their politics: the visualisation of their deepest fears and desires that aims to articulate and concretise what previously belonged to raw libidinal energy.
Welcome to America’s Turd Reich
"Palestinians have very long experience not only of Israel breaking ceasefires but also of using phased agreements to entrench their expansionist agenda"

Has there ever been a bubble with so much reflexivity regarding its status as a bubble as this one? www.ft.com/content/6cc8...
Western ‘leaders’ once paraded Greta as a symbol of moral clarity—until she condemned Israel’s genocide. Now they don’t even care about her safety
there is few (no?) more compelling cases for public control over investment than AI atm: the biggest misallocation of resources possibly in human history.
The global sumud flotilla is now 130 miles from Gaza, the area where Israel has attacked previous boats trying to break the Israeli blockade. In 2010 the Israelis raided a flotilla of 6 ships in international waters & killed 9 people onboard.
All eyes on the flotilla.
This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide.
While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide
Absolutely extraordinary!
"Power not protest" is a truly fatuous formulation. Would you rather be MLK or Trump? Gandhi or Stalin?
These people are so convinced of their own inherent goodness that they see their mere attainment of high office as a good thing. Even when they're using their precious power to enable a genocide
His legacy will be nothing more than trying to ingratiate himself with people who will only ever see him as a metropolitan nonse, and shifting the Overton window to the right as a result.
This Labour government seems to determined to create all the tools necessary for a future government of the far-right to control, surveille, and discipline the entire population.
This is appalling as expected from a strategically, politically and ethically bankrupt Labour leadership
All Starmer offers is a slightly less extreme version of the far right which only ends up normalising its discourse, allowing it to set the agenda
Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

Second migrant removed to France after court bid fails An Eritrean man has been flown out early on Friday under the government's "one in, one out" deal.
What a deranged country. Are we gonna have this as the number one headline for each *person* we remove? A cruelty spectacle.
Watching the news these past few days, I’m somewhat less taken aback by how UK media has covered Trump’s visit - talking about golf and lasagna rather than domestic political repression and the Gaza genocide - and more by how they are manufacturing consent for AI and big tech’s corporate capture.
But Wes Streeting has decided that it isn’t, actually, so that’s ok
guys i think we all need to get good with the fact that debate culture is not and never was geared toward arriving at knowledge that is simply not one of its goals
BBC News also hosted the head of turningpoint UK to talk about a few random death threats they’ve received online. Completely blind to attempts by the reactionary right to use a Christian nationalist debate bro’s death to facilitate the political repression of and violence against the Left.
A picture of serial loser James Frith MP on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee.
Labour ghoul James Frith, an “avid music listener”, tells the select committee Bob Vylan made jews feel unsafe at Glastonbury (because of their anti-military chant), that he would be discarding their Humble as the Sun album he bought, and asked what due diligence the BBC gave to anarcho-punk bands 🤡
Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel.
It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians.
British politicians continue to arm their murderers.
