I’m not saying that we are as a nation deranged, but I have just handed over a coupon in a supermarket and been told that it’s staff policy to check I hadn’t stolen it

i am finding it impossible to say anything that doesn’t feel trite or inadequate but this is the kind of anger you don’t ever really forget

Everything we're seeing on our screens from Rafah is beyond depravity.

This is of course not just the Israeli Government - this is all the countries that look away in complicity.

It's beyond complicit at this point. It's enabling. Stop arms sales & end the violence.

I don't want to sit through an ICC tribunal in 10 years time with British politicians wringing their hands about what they should have done. We need arms licences cancelled now. We need sanctions now. We need to do everything humanely possible to end this right now.

Bear with me, but these young people you have nothing but contempt for, right: what if we press-ganged them on every fourth or fifth weekend into managing all your worst emergencies?

Those countries have very strong welfare states. There's a clear sense of reciprocity in return for this support.

You can't reduce the welfare safety net to a few bits of string and then demand service from the young.

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!

The law is as follows.

1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you.

2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote.

3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day.
