Pep accepting players bought with flagrant FFP fraud knowing that it meant the UAE had less money to commit atrocities in Sudan, Libya and Yemen.

Among these people, I think a very particular wrong lesson has been learnt: their presumption is Corbynism failed because of bad comms and residual commitments, what is required is the hegemony of the comms brains in a nimble, politically shallow organisation.

Bruv.... The Indian pilot's name was literally 'mosquito' wtf 😂
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

A lot of the solutions to regional inequality in Greater Manchester is simply selling Bolton to Qatar and Wigan to Bahrain for 1 Pound each

Post-Brexit Britain has had a fairer immigration process than being within the EU. Asylum seekers too are no longer subject to the same removals mechanism that applied within the EU under Dublin III.
It's easier to achieve migrant justice outside the EU than within it.
As long as the UK does not rejoin, we desperately need people who like brexit to come and make the case for what it is exactly they want to do with it. It's very unhealthy right now, the best arguments revolve around "my ex is more miserable than me so I'm glad we broke up"

We should nuke Berlin and Paris before we ever agree to give up the Pound Sterling, the oldest continuously existing currency in the world.
And if Burnham suggests it, we should do what Cromwell did to Charles I.

Scotland is the interesting contrast for the thesis that anglophone countries have a weak apartment tradition because we didn't adopt condominium laws until after the good apartment typologies were banned (by parking minimums, front and side setbacks, dual egress requirements, etc).
Scots law is a civil-law hybrid, and there you could own a flat outright under the common law of the tenement. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 later codified it.
Edinburgh and Glasgow have the strongest apartment tradition in Britain.
So I have been agnostic for a long time about why anglophone countries have such a weak apartment tradition compared to the continent.
I'm starting to agree with the property law theory of everything. England didn't have condo law until 2002.
The Napoleonic Code let you own a floor of a subdivided building in 1804.
The US got condos in 1961--which would have legalized owning a condo in a courtyard block buildings--courtyard block buildings had been illegal for ~20 years.
With exceptions of coops in NYC (and some in Chicago), American pre-war multifamily is rental.
And this partly explains both why our apartment tradition is so lackluster compared to continental AND why Americans have such a hard time with aspirational apartment ownership (we don't have a great stock of aspirational apartments)
But mixed-use apartment buildings are necessary for green, dense, walkable neighborhoods (which many want but no one is building), so Americans have good reason to figure this one out

The stuff that gets left out of these conversations is the brutalisation of migrants undertaken by Labour.
And by all means, the GPEW’s self-inflicted capitulation to Labour was a betrayal of this and on Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon etc. and trans rights.
Hundreds of care workers joined a demonstration outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool demanding Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's proposed settlement plans are torn up.

The most Dutch story of all time.
After the Holocaust, Jews from Amsterdam who returned from concentration camps or hiding found bills awaiting them for unpaid erfpacht from the years they had been deported. Many also received late payment penalties.
It was difficult to send the payments... from Auschwitz!

For the second time this year @novaramedia have refused to publish interview exchanges from Lubna and G4P.
If they won’t publish….we will.

Honestly laughing at the fact Adnan Hussain seems to be the only person vaguely having associated with the British Left who seems to take this stuff seriously while everyone else is just posting slop.
Surely Manchesterism itself is supposed to contain an economic development strategy, not merely a governance philosophy.

the biggest weapon leveraged against anti Zionist politics within first world countries is antisemitism accusations, which will virtually cripple a person’s chance of employment for life. This doesn’t exist for virtually any other protest cause.
This is, sadly, true, as the comparison between Israel and ISIS makes readily apparent. That still does not excuse lazy thinking. Obsession with Jews obscures the crimes. We should be laser-focused on the crimes committed by Israel, which its supporters are implicated

It's unclear to me what the Green programme to 'end neoliberalism' (whatever anyone means) even is. The most I've heard is redistribution, public ownership of public services, the cost-of-living crisis etc. but little on industrial policy, productivity, trade, regulation etc
Very true for Labour. What happened at conference incomprehensible w/out Green impact. Challenge for Greens is taking political space Burnham has staked out and expanding it - if even the PM is saying we have to “end neoliberalism” this can be perfect conditions to demand more.
