1155 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 695 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university. The world continues to remain largely muted on this issue. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

COVID VACCINE ELIGIBILITY 🇬🇧, a thread🧵 JCVI have just advised that, going forwards, eligibility for Covid vaccination will be even more tightly restricted. But the ‘bespoke cost-effectiveness assessment’ upon which this is based is heavily flawed… gov.uk/government/pub…

'I think politically this could set up tensions in the Middle East, which is not something we want to do.' Refugee Council patron Lord Dubs and @BenKentish discuss the difficulties with a proposed Ukraine-style visa scheme for Gazan families.

I keep hearing that heat pumps are a niche technology and will never take off. Look at the market share of heat pumps in different European countries - in 8 countries most new heating systems installed are now heat pumps.

Actively promoting antisemtism and Holocaust denial for the sake of clicks. Shame.

"I'm sorry, but I find that unbelievably offensive - and I'm not even Jewish." Piers Morgan responds to Dan Bilzerian's claims about the Holocaust and the number of Jewish people killed in WWII. 📺 youtu.be/KICYv4O03CA @DanBilzerian | @piersmorgan



A result of political pressure, not moral courage.

'The Church is built on forgiveness...Justin Welby wasn't involved.' 'I have never helped a paedophile evade justice.' 'This is beyond disgusting.' @BenKentish mediates a debate between callers Daniel and Jason, amid mounting pressure on the Archbishop of Canterbury to resign.


Brilliant thread 👇

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:



The attack on Israeli citizens in Amsterdam was pre-planned on Telegram well in advance, according to reports in Dutch media. All the usual suspects trying desperately to minimise it, justify it or reframe it as something else are just showing their true colours.


Ben Kentish Reposted

'You're blinded by your opposition to a government, if you think that legitimises a pogrom of Israeli civilians.' After the violence in Amsterdam, Ben Kentish addresses those texting in, 'trying to legitimise Jews being chased down and beaten up, not in 1944, but in 2024'.

So, JD Vance is saying US support for NATO and the US' commitment to European security depends on the EU's regulatory posture towards Elon Musk.. ? US/EU relations about to enter a very new world independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…


Took them long enough

Qatar has notified Hamas Officials staying in the Country, that they are no longer welcome and must immediately make preparations to depart.



That will be news to all the businesses facing higher rates of National Insurance…

This sickening antisemitic violence must put UK on high alert for the safety of Jewish people here. Response to the August riots showed importance of restoring deterrence - surely a similar approach needed on calls to “Globalise the Intifada” and the violence of Palestine Action

On LBC with me right now: 🟥 What explains Donald Trump’s historic win? 🟦 What will his presidency mean for Ukraine, the Middle East and us? @TomTugendhat joins me to discuss. ⬛️ Why are young men becoming more and more conservative?

Yoav Gallant says he resigned partly because Netanyahu won’t allow a full investigation into the security failures that led to 7th October. That’s an inquiry that would help avoid more Israelis being murdered in cold blood in their homes. One that Netanyahu is blocking. And…


Reams and reams will be said and written but ultimately, if millions and millions of people feel worse off under what they see as traditional, “Establishment” politicians, the appeal of those who vow to do things differently - who make those people feel heard and seen and promise…
