At the BBC we've had a whole independent review which made it very clear we shouldn't use profoundly misleading household finance analogies for the public finances. But now the Labour front bench keeps doing it. And it's not the first time: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

As the government panics about bond market gyrations, its always useful to understand how the UK government actually finances itself: by creating new money, just like a bank. New paper with Asker Voldsgaard, Neil Wilson, Andrew Berkeley and Richard Tye. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Isaac Herzog – named in the ICJ judgment as showing genocidal intent – will be welcomed to Britain by Starmer this week Meanwhile, the state arrests pensioners for holding signs saying, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” Something is deeply broken in this country.

This is what Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood once thought about Israel. Follow her advice from 2014 - join our lobby of Parliament on Tuesday to “let out an almighty roar and tell this government we will not stay silent until the Palestinians are free!” palestinecampaign.org/events/lobby-f…

890 people have been arrested for demanding an end to genocide in Gaza. To call them “terrorists” is beyond disgusting. Shame on you and this Labour government for criminalising solidarity with the Palestinian people, while continuing to sell arms to Israel that fuel genocide.

Israel has bombed and apparently wiped out the Hamas negotiating team in Qatar. Insane. The behaviour of an unhinged state, trashing the most rudimentary norms of international law. This underlines that Israel is intent on completing the genocidal extermination of Gaza.

Bit hard to see how you can ever negotiate peace with a country that bombs other countries to kill your negotiators. Israel is determined to avoid peace talks.

The day the UN accuses Israel of Genocide, 106 Palestinians are killed and there is barely a squeak about it most of the Western media...

Netanyahu message to those who recognise Palestine 🇵🇸: ‘It will not happen’ ‘We have prevented it with determination & political guile’ ‘We have doubled 🇮🇱 [illegal] settlements in the West Bank 🇵🇸’ ‘🇮🇱 will respond’ Illegal. Sinister. Evil. Israel 🇮🇱 is a terrorist state.
