This story is a perfect example of how broken reporting of the mobs roaming Britain's streets now is - and the political response. What would have been the appropriate response if this hadn't been a sports team? Trash the hotel? Force them out into the street? What about other people staying there?

Economist Laffer a voice from the past coming out with something impressively bizarre. USA economy going well. UK economy has lower growth rates post 2009 due to a tax rise from Gordon Brown era that was abolished over a decade ago (2007 financial crisis and Covid did not feature) #r4today
We just reached peak madness on Radio 4 where Ed Miliband was asked if he was going to synagogue for Rosh Hashanah and then told that as he wasn’t he didn’t understand Jewish concerns. Ed Miliband understands the ethical core of Judaism far better than the Chief Rabbi, however long the latter prays.
Today is a great day to remember that 75% of British Jews see Israeli settlement expansion as a "major obstacle to peace" and 68% said they have a "sense of despair" every time further expansion is approved. (2015 survey)
Miliband says the UK wants a continued good relationship with ‘Green-line Israel’, but such an entity doesn’t exist and the Israeli gvt opposes it coming into existence. Eventually the UK will have to sanction the actual regime which claims all the territory between the river and the sea.
If you think Israel's actions in Gaza do not amount to genocide, because they do not involve the deliberate wholesale massacre of all Palestinians in Gaza, the key qualification should be "so far". Just listen to what's coming out of the Israeli government every single day. 1/
By not taking Kahanism seriously as the new Israeli hegemony Anti-Zionists fail to understand the moment's gravity, even after 3 years of a war of destruction against the Palestinian people Zionists refuse to come to terms with Israel's depravation and genocidal trajectory
The UK has a new shadow energy secretary, Andrew Bowie MP Great to see his enthusiasm for ending the UK's contribution to climate change (aka net zero), in this 2019 statement: www.andrewbowie.org.uk/climate-chan... Presume this is still valid? Climate change has only gotten worse, after all

There’s a joke going around Israel right now that middle-aged men have two options: start a podcast or found a new right-wing political party. I took a look at the spate of small new (or not so new) right-wing parties that plan to run in October's general election.
It's not often you can pinpoint real, positive change a journalist has caused. But as Turkmeni sources state, @dpcarrington.bsky.social's persistent and probing coverage of this issue has been critical to a change of policy, with massive implications. Big congrats www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There are people who would prefer to see no practising Jews within the Green Party. They will remain outside the green party and Jews will remain within in. This has been a really nasty article but the support and solidarity from across the party has been very heartening.
The worst punishment is to give you what you want
7. The figures look positive for the Home Office in short-term political terms. But the health and care sector faces collapse, refugee families remain separated, and the appeals system is under critical pressure.
Andy Burnham must take stronger action on Gaza now - not just empty words. Greens have been clear all along the UK Labour government must end the genocide, ban all arms sales and sanction those responsible.
"What Are Jewish Voters Supposed to Do?" How about this: Do what decent Jewish voters have ALWAYS done? Stand strong against ethno-fascism and genocide, by standing up for what is right?🤔

The fatalism of this argument is very annoying and is always made by people utterly certain in their rightness
Just heard @rory-stewart.bsky.social on @therestpolitics.bsky.social say that "we [the UK] still consume more carbon than we have ever done—we just have the t-shirts made in China". I've heard this point being made elsewhere recently too. And it is simply not true.

David Miller strikes again... We're absolutely fucked if this is where the party is going now.
Revealed: the insiders who filibustered the 'Zionism is Racism' motion at the Green Party conference The much-heralded motion promised to turn the Greens into the first mainstream political party openly committed to anti-Zionism. Little wonder it was blocked.
This report has been presented as a serious attempt by the centre right to engage with climate policy. Replacing the fumbling around for what might be popular under the Sunak regime, the trump vibes under Truss, and commitment to Corporatism and industrial climate leadership under Boris.

A man who can legally be called a notorious antisemite and spent his brief time in the Green party harassing members. His membership is defiantly a priority for the Pro-Palestine movement in the greens
Tony was prosecuted under draconian terrorism laws over his public statements on Palestine. The jury found him not guilty. We demand that the Green Party reverses its decision to expel him. Reinstate Tony Greenstein. Anti Zionism is not illegal. It is a moral imperative.
The use of Jews as some sort of prop to defend the powerful from scrutiny while ignoring actual antisemitism is a move of incredible daring and causes so much harm. It is done by someone on the right about once a day at this stage

Eleanora Folan of Stats for Lefties has just been elected to the Green Party's governing Council. (It's the first victory announcement I've seen say: "I welcome their hatred")
If people with the views and values of Stats for Lefties are in the ascendancy of GPEW I will just leave. I find her values and behaviour completely at odds with anything that would represent me.
