It looks like Netanyahu lost today the only European city break destination he could visit without being arrested for war crimes.

Life is getting longer while most of the things that give it meaning are in decline. Now, thanks to AI, meaningful work is under threat too. How old do we really want to live to? Me @financialtimes.com (free link) as.ft.com/r/f6a6129d-d5ad-4f3a-938b-9037c73802cd

The Al-Furqan neighbourhood in Aleppo, Syria

Syria hasn’t had more than 4 hours of state electricity a day for years, due to civil war and international sanctions.

In response people have embraced a reliable electricity source - solar power and batteries!

This had passed me by: the Scottish government banned gas boilers in new build homes in 2024!

Consultations began in 2020, final decision mid-2023, implemented April 2024. Job done.

The Westminster government is taking four years longer!

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT.

From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't.

A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

BREAKING: Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja unlawfully arrested under the Terrorism Act.

He was amongst hundreds of protestors arrested for holding signs which say "I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action".

The ban is unlawful, and so are these arrests.

This was neither the first attack by soldiers on me, nor the last. On 7th October 2023 I was detained and tortured for hours. So were my friend Mohammad Natschi and others.

The only special thing about this attack is, that they did it in front of a camera, while a well known journalist was with me!

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

Fascinating, Zelensky coming out publicly more and more and saying that Trump is working with/for Putin. The Ukrainians seem to have determined that telling the truth is preferable to lying to please Trump.
