The BBC is cutting £500 million and one in ten jobs, with staff on Newsnight expecting their programme to go. A TV licence costs £180 a year and carries no vote in how the BBC is run. The Charter Review should make licence fee payers members, with a real stake and a say.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Starmer has said he would campaign for Northern Ireland to remain in the UK, which is a breach of the Good Friday Agreement.
28 years ago today, the Good Friday Agreement was signed, one of Labour’s proudest achievements. Working in Northern Ireland, I saw first-hand the transformation peace brought to communities. At a time of global instability, it reminds us that peace must be built and protected.

International crime boss etc and so on, but I still refuse to accept that Cumbernauld is in “North Lanarkshire”.

Hopefully auld Len’s estate can sue this shower for being an utter embarrassment.
The young have typically tended to vote on the left, seeing it as a vote against the status quo and the establishment, before gradually moving to the right as they got older. But things are changing. In France’s latest elections, Marine Le Pen won more youth votes than the left, while Donald Trump’s youth vote in the last US election was a third higher than in 2020. Should these new rebels be listened to as a challenge to a failed establishment? Or does this signal a breakdown of the traditional left–right divide? Join House of Lords member Thangam Debonnaire, Reform UK politician Matt Goodwin, critical theorist Louisa Munch, and politics professor Eric Kaufmann in Hay-on-Wye this Spring to debate what this shift means for the future of left-right politics.

If Aristotle is right and happiness is the state of the soul in an activity of excellence, then off loading all our creative and intellectual work to AI will make us supremely miserable.

From my MP, Calum Miller, LD, Bicester and Woodstock. Incredible pusillanimity.
A huge embarrassment too for the hundreds of MPs (Labour, Liberal Democrat and SNP) who voted for, or abstained, on the Palestine Action ban despite knowing it was wrong.

These times are extraordinarily clarifying. Plutocracy is overthrowing democracy. We’re in a renewed period of naked imperialist aggression. Genocidal ethnonationalism in the Middle East is forcing a choice between democracy and fascism; the ruling class is opting for fascism.
